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.

"Enough!" Jorick's cry was a command and a sudden wave of power rolled from him.


Torina growled, but stepped away from their prisoner. "Why is that?"


 "We want to know who they are and why they're attacking us," Jorick replied impatiently. 


He shoved his prisoner off on Micah, but before he could question anyone, Wolfe charged into the center to take control. "Do you know who we are?"


The black haired vampiress turned her face away.


Though Wolfe repeated his question in several languages, he got the same silence.


The other vampires drew forward and, with the danger past, Katelina hurried to Jorick's side. He glanced at her, as though to make sure she was all right.
