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

Something like a cyber caf¨¦ sat in the middle of the shopping center. The walls, striped in orange and yellow, gave Katelina a headache. She was glad they didn't wait long to get a computer.


Jorick sat patiently as she signed into her email and typed up a hopefully cryptic note.


They think the old guy is hiding in the mountains outside of Obigarm, Tajikistan. We're waiting for them to approve transportation. J thinks it might be by tomorrow. Do not bring everyone with you. It would draw unwanted attention. 


Jorick nodded his approval and she hit send. 


"Are you sure that will be enough?" she whispered. "How will she find us once she gets there?"


"Hopefully she will get there first and scout out the situation. If we're lucky she may be able to interfere with whatever Malick's doing."


Katelina rolled her eyes and clicked on her inbox. The top message was from her cousin with the subject "OMG! Are you OK?"
