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.

Amaranthine

As he'd promised, Oren moved Katelina to one of the empty slave's quarters - empty because, unlike Claudius, Kateesha didn't keep human slaves. "They aren't compulsory," Oren had sniffed at the inquiry, an attitude Katelina found interesting, considering the number of human servants he'd had.


 Thomas, in a fit of swagger, blabbed that he was going to petition The Guild about Jorick and his "dangerous human", so Oren thought it might be better if Jorick stayed where he was. The more they were apart, the better, or so he said. Katelina didn't agree, but Jorick whispered to her that it was only for one night, and that tomorrow they'd leave.
