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

By the time they went to bed practically everything in the house had been laundered and put away. With nothing else to be cleaned or organized, Jorick had no choice but to keep his word. 


The following evening they drove to the nearest 24 hour chain store. For the first time in days Katelina finally felt safe. Alistair wouldn't dare show up in public.


Her cheery mood didn't affect Jorick. A door greeter in a Santa hat offered them a cart and Jorick's scowl made his smile waver. To make up for it, Katelina replied with an extra enthusiastic, "Merry Christmas" before she grabbed her crabby vampire and steered him towards domestics.
