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

Jorick disappeared and Sadihra led her to the VIP room of the restaurant. Katelina ordered a sandwich and tried to think of polite conversation. It was Sadihra who finally spoke.


"What is Cyprus doing, siding with monsters? Does he understand who they are? The Children of Shadows were the most feared, hated-" She broke off. "It isn't like him. I know he is better than this. And now they've sent Wolfe after him. He'll kill Cyprus if Cyprus doesn't kill him first." She shook her head. "I suppose you think it's silly for me to worry like this? Wolfe is trained."


Katelina toyed with her glass. "No. If that was Jorick I'd be worried."
