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 train stopped at a dimly lit platform. Through the windows, Katelina could see a formation of vampires wearing long black coats. They stood motionless, assault guns leveled at the train cars.


Jamie and Jorick glanced at one another before sliding into defensive crouches. Pavel waved his hands quickly. "No, no. Is all right. I will go first." He pushed the door open and slowly stepped out, his hands up. One of the guards shouted to him in Russian and he called back. 


A guard hurried forward and dug in Pavel's coat. He came back with papers, which he read quickly and handed off to someone else. For a tense moment Katelina thought they might shoot him. 


The vampires lowered their guns and relief swept over her. She was surprised at the intensity of it. Had she been that worried?
