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.

When Micah complained about feeding, Sorino snapped, "You can eat on the way and the humans can get food at the airport. Now, let's go."


Katelina packed her bag and the last bottle of water. Ume locked everything and plunged into the jungle, the others behind her. Katelina paused at the edge of the trees and gave the camp a final look as Verchiel shut off the generator. The lights flickered out and it took her eyes a moment to adjust. The camp had a sudden air of abandonment, and she wondered if its occupants would return or if it would lay empty until the poachers got brave enough to loot it.
