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 night was as silent as death when Katelina dashed outside for a last minute outhouse visit. Jorick stayed behind in the cabin, his face visible at the window, but his attention on the conversation he had with Oren. Like a child she'd been admonished to go straight there and straight back, as if she'd want to go for a nature hike in the dark.


She had a brief view of colored ribbons in the sky before she shut herself in the dilapidated shed. When she finished, she slipped outside and stopped to stare. Wisps of eerie green fog pulsed and twisted above her. The sight was both beautiful and terrifying, and she fell back against the building, transfixed and paralyzed.
