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.

They stopped at Loren's house instead of their own. It was the same as it had been the other night, except the cat was back. It lay on the deck and glared evilly at them, as if to say "step on my tail now, bitch."


They went inside and Katelina kicked a pile of junk off the couch and took a seat. Jorick moved to the phone and dialed Oren's number in a series of musical beeps. She leaned back and listened to the one sided conversation.


"Oren? Have you heard from Kale or his coven yet?" There was a heavy pause and when Jorick spoke again he was annoyed. "Yes, I know, I know. I didn't give him your number. I have more important things to discuss. It's Kale. I believe he may be a prisoner." He broke off. "No! Not of Anya! Of humans!"
