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.

But if it wasn't one of them who had healed Katelina, then who was it?


Verchiel kicked his foot absently. "Oh, I imagine it happened while everyone was under that big pile of rocks." He gave another cough. "Almost everyone. I wasn't of course, and then there was that naked vampire you woke up."


Katelina sat up so fast she banged her head on the bunk above. "Ow! What are you saying? Are you saying that Samael-" It was too absurd to finish.


"Take it how you want," Verchiel said. "But someone gave you blood or else you healed on your own. Either way, it's bound to make things interesting later."


"But why would he? He was trying to kill us!"


"Maybe he figured he owed you for waking him up? I don't know!" Verchiel tapped the side of his head. "I might be an occasional mind reader, but I'm not that good, sweetheart."
