Joleene Naylor is the author of the glitter-less Amaranthine vampire universe, a world where vampires aren't for children. Comprised of a main series, a standalone prequel, and several short story collections, she has plans to continue expanding with a trilogy and standalone novels. 
In her spare time, Joleene is a freelance book cover designer and for-fun photographer. She maintains several blogs, full of odd ramblings, and occasionally updates her website at JoleeneNaylor.com. In what little time is left, she watches anime, plays PokemonGo, and works on her crooked Victorian house in Villisca, Iowa. Between her husband, family, and pets, she is never lonely, in fact, quite the opposite. Should she disappear, one might look for her on a beach in Tahiti, sipping a tropical drink and wearing a disguise. 

Pulled into a world of darkness, Katelina's fate becomes intertwined with that of Jorick, a dark, enigmatic vampire. To stay by his side, she must navigate intrigue, terror and bloodshed as they are drawn from one battle to another. Dreams of peace seem elusive, and are complicated by mysterious vampires, old relics, and an ancient master. Join Katelina and Jorick in a world where vampires don't sparkle and night is eternal.

Katelina wanted to say no, didn't want to hear what Oren had to say to them, but there was no point in saying that. His secret conversation was for Jorick, not her. She was just tagging along, a third wheel.


Jorick ignored her aggravation to tug her after Oren. They passed through lofty doorways and two shadowed rooms. The cold winter wind howled around the house and Katelina shivered. It was barely warmer inside than out! Heat wasn't the only thing lacking, though. There were no electric lamps, just candles, which led Katelina to the conclusion that there was no electricity.
