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.

They walked back to the others in silence. Katelina paused just outside the door and heard Jorick say, " Loren killed the man who slit her throat."


Jorick's voice shook with anger, "I should have destroyed Malick after Velnya died but to kill one's master-Now death is not enough for him. He can never be forgiven for taking Katelina, leaving her broken and bleeding. Having her murdered. Forcing her to be under another master. He's stolen much from me over the years and to take even this-He deserves the old way: to be buried in dirt for centuries!"


At his words, her hand went to her neck and an image popped into her head. She saw herself lying in a pool of blood, her throat gaping open like the murder photos in the Chinese magazine.
