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

When Katelina was pink and nearly over heated, they climbed out of the tub, dried and dressed. She was happy to have her clothes again. 


Maeko escorted her to what Katelina thought of as the living room. It seemed larger than it had yesterday, though it might have been an illusion as only Jorick, Verchiel, Oren, Torina and Neil were present.


Verchiel stood and stretched. "Now that Kately is all clean and shiny, is it my turn?"


Maeko bowed. "If Jorick-ue does not wish a bath."


Jorick motioned the idea away and Verchiel clutched his chest in exaggerated grief. "I see how it is. I only get a bath if the fearless leader doesn't want one." Jorick rolled his eyes and Verchiel snickered. "I should see if that tasty bit of German crumpet would like to join me. Water conservation and all." He gave them a wink and then disappeared.


Katelina rolled her eyes and moved towards Jorick. "Where is everyone?" Had Micah and Loren made it back? Or Kai and Sorino?
