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

With a jolt, Katelina landed in the present and stepped back a pace. The terror slowly drained off and left her bent over, palms resting on her thighs for support. She looked up to see Kai, his eyes hidden behind his hair.


"What in the hell was that?" The voice at the end had sounded more like Sorino than Kai.


The boy spoke to her silently. "You should not immerse yourself like that."


"What the hell is that supposed to mean? You're the one who showed that to me."


"You're telling me that I can't catch a word that you're thinking, the easy stuff, as Jorick calls it, but I stumbled on-what? One of your memories?"


Frustrated, she sat next to him. If it was one of his memories what was it from?


His only reply was, "Their meeting is over."
