HELP-- Ordering my Romantic Paranormal Series

I posted this on another board, but really would love feedback here, too. This is making me a tad nuts.

I'm well into outlining, and writing, my three (and possibly more, but for now three) part series of Hawthorne's Knot novels. They are contemporary paranormal with a strong dose of humor and nuances of parody. My question is this:

Since the vampire thing is getting pooped on by just about everyone (but we all know it will live forever) I am wondering if I should NOT target the vamp leg of this trilogy as the kickoff. It's the strongest at this point, but I may be able to sell it as part of a trilogy if I lead with another of the set. The three heroes are a vamp, a shapeshifter (NOT a were, but similar), and a Gregori (fallen angel) who wants to be restored as an angel.

Here is a slapped-together glance at the trilogy. Tell me if you think I should lead with one of the others... I'm really sweating this. My fear is if I kick off with the strongest so far (Armando, my vampire) I will kill any chances the other two have.

HAWTHORNE'S KNOT

1. Magic in the Blood -- Armando and Maggie's story
Armando is a vampire, Maggie a photographer. He is the head of a secret society bound to protect something VERY important, but also to defend innocence and battle evil. The plot involves Maggie being drawn by unseen forces toward a bar in Cambridge, MA where a strange clientele gathers. It is in the basement of an old stone church-- the church itself is now Armando's office and the command center for his organization. Think an urban version of the StarWars bar scene with shapeshifters, vamps, leprechauns, and other paranormal flotsam and jetsam... plus they have Gregorian Karaoke every Friday!

2. Magic of the Moon --Daniel and Annie's story
Dan arrives in a small harbor town on a mission. Some very unique and possibly sacred artifacts have surfaced, and a good man has been murdered. A member of a secret society of protectors and sacred-trust-keepers, he needs a cover to blend in. Unfortunately the only position open temporarily is that of priest-- visiting priest. He parks his Harley in the barn, shucks off his faded jeans and t-shirt, and dons the basic black of a man of God. But he's also a shapeshifter, and a killer when he needs to be. Plus he's lusting after Annie, the choir director, who may be much, much more than she seems.

3. Magic in His Hands --Gideon and Tessa's story
Tessa was a beautiful, broken woman until Gideon's healing hands performed a miracle, and restored her body and mind. But her soul is still in tatters, and she can't help wondering how this gorgeous, elusive man repaired what everyone swore was shattered forever. She tracks him down in a strange, quirky bar (of all places!) and tries to uncover his secret. But Gideon's secret isn't his ability as a healer-- it's a much older, darker tale. He works for a mysterious group of extraordinary men and women. But who is he, truly? And from where does his astonishing power come? Gideon can't risk revealing his darkest self to this wonderful woman. Tess can't imagine living without Gideon and longs to chase the shadows from his eyes. But will her tenderness destroy him?

I value AW members' opinions. What do you guys think? If it matters, Armando's story is about 1/3 done, Dan's is maybe 1/4, and Gideon's is just an outline.

They are all very tied. Each will read on its own but the characters will be "visiting" one another, and the three male leads know one another well and work together.

In truth? I would like to write fifteen of these books, set around the hub of this bar/secret society. But I'm certain these three are doable within 2 years.

Right now romance agents/editors are slushpiling vamps. My initial impulse was "yeah, but mine is a bit of a parady, so..." Now I'm wondering if I should lead with a different angle. I'm going to be pitching it AS a trilogy.

Grrr. Wish I'd thought of this before beginning.

Love Anne Rice and the name choice was deliberate, though the novel has absolutely NO resemblence to her work. BTW I LOVE Donovan's Reef!

I won't live long enough to write 15. I would love to. I will PROBABLY live long enough to finish these three. Woohootie. I'm actually incredibly into this process since it started.

I do appreciate the comments. Not really worried about the content of the novels or even the novels themselves. As of last week I was getting slight buzzby, and I feel good about THAT. My big fear is somebody saying "we will take THESE TWO but NOT THAT" or "no vamps, thanks." Romance has been saturated with vampire novels, and I do sympathize.

I wish Armando had decided to be something else, but he walked in fully formed and is stubborn as hell. Bloodsucking twerp!
