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 next morning, Katelina entered the living room where Jorick was on the phone. After a noise of agreement, he hung up.


He offered her a smile. "The trial is tonight."


Katelina wasn't sure she wanted to see Thomas or his evil sister again, but she wantedno neededto see it was really Joseff on trial and that it was all resolved. She was tired of being chased by phantoms from the past. "I'm going."


Though Jorick threw up his hands, Katelina was pleased that instead of arguing he said, "You'll have to do something with your human."


"She has a name." Katelina glanced uncomfortably at the closed door to Xandria's room. "I guess we could see if Micah and Loren would watch her." It felt wrong, like treating Xandria as a pet yorkie, but he was right. What if someone lured her away and did something horrible?
