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

The masters stepped back and Sadihra and Wolfe stepped forward. The priest gave them a small nod of encouragement. "Wolfe, fledgling of Anslem, and Sadihra, fledgling of Dominik, today we ask God to bless your union, in the presence of your covens and your masters.


"The bond of matrimony is not to be entered lightly, for our lives are long. There is no crueler fate than eternity tied to one you do not love. Neither is there a greater joy than to wake each night in the warm assurance of a bonded love that is true.


"Wolfe, fledgling of Anslem, do you on this day, and every day henceforth, ask that God bless Sadihra as your true and only wife?"


Wolfe looked into Sadihra's eyes and smiled. The expression was one Katelina had never seen on him before. It felt weird to see it now, like watching a coworker cry. 


"Sadihra, fledgling of Dominik, do you on this day, and every day henceforth, ask that God bless Wolfe as your true and only husband?"
