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.

She followed Loren to the public area of the stronghold. As they passed the sign for photo developing, she remembered the abandoned camera and ducked into the shop to pick up her photos. There was confusion because they were in Jorick's name, not Loren'sas if she meant nothingbut they finally sorted it out and she left clutching an envelope of prints. 


The caf¨¦ was filled with white clothed tables, bistro style chairs and a tall marble topped counter. If it hadn't been for vampires wearing the usual unique mixture of modern and old fashioned clothes, the scene could have been from a magazine.
