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.

The official trial notice came the next evening.  Jorick explained that it wasn't for a couple of hours.


As she ate her toast he went over what was going to happen. "It should be very short. This time the law is on our side. They may love red tape here, but they also enjoy clinging to the letter of the law."


She swallowed the dry bread and asked, "What about Micah?"


"He's held for assaulting two guards. He'll have his own trial."


The hours slipped past and when the time drew near Jorick led her to the Lesser Council's chambers. They were ushered through the antechamber with the advice, "Take a seat."
