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

It was a blue mist; a dark, electric blue that pulsed with thought. Katelina touched the edges of it and felt tingles reverberate through her.


The words echoed in her mind, but they left no peace behind as they had in other dreams.


The dream faded and she blinked against a blurry world. Her body was numb, and her eyes didn't want to focus. Gray walls became clear and then fuzzy. She was aware of motion; being carried?


Voices slogged through her ears, "She's waking."


"She's had too much blood. It's made her resistant. They'll need something stronger."
