I am about to enter play with a Solamnic Knight in a 3.5 DragonLance game, and I would like some help to trick her out to kick as much ass as possible. I can use any 3.5 book that is not tied to a specific campaign setting but the Doragon Lance CS, and I will be playing the PC from lvl 1 to 20.
I would like my knight function as a divine gish, channelling spells and buffing herself to make the most of her combat abilities, while also retaining at least some competance at control magic. The rest of the party will consist of a divner and two melee clerics.

I especially like the great synergy I get with my high charisma in this build, as cha adds to my saves, leadership, smiting, turn undead and spellcasting... in other words as well as everything I do. As this will be my first divine caster in almost five years, I would be surprised if I had not missed a lot of tweaks and cool abilies, and I would therefore like some input as to how I can make this character stronger.
Also, I would like some suggestions as to what kind of cohort my party need? It would seem that I have everything already.
I hope to get replies to this, as I have already invested a significant amount of time into this build. Thankls in advance.
EDIT: I should note that the following feats are prereqs: Honor-Bound, Endurance, Diehard, Leadership and Mounted Combat.
