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 rolled his eyes and marched after Fethillen. Katelina followed. The last time she'd seen Sorino had been in the mountains near the Raven Queen's temple. They'd had a bonfire funeral for Neil, their ally who'd been killed in the temple. Before that, her last memory of him was in the basement of the temple as he'd forced her to shove the withered Heart of the Raven into Samael's open mouth, hoping he'd be able to control the resurrected vampire for his own ends.


Sorino wasn't someone she wanted to see again, yet there he was with his hands behind his back. He wore his long dark hair in a ponytail and the expression on his face was torn between glowing curiosity and insult. His khaki outfit was clich¨¦ jungle explorer garb, except he'd traded shorts for long pants. He even wore a pith helmet.
