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

If Jamie was there it could only mean one thing: trouble.


The men exchanged cool nods. Katelina caught her mother's arm and dragged her to the living room. "Micah was right. You should sit down."


"I'm fine, dear. Oh!" She surrendered as Katelina shoved her into a chair. "All right."


Brad cocked his head. She gave him a tight lipped smile and hurried back to the kitchen. It was deserted. Voices sounded outside, and she followed the sound to discover the three men in the shadows of the backyard. Though Jorick and Jamie appeared relaxed, their shoulders said otherwise. Micah made no bones about his attitude, his hands angry fists at his sides.


Jamie was mid-sentence, "requested extra security for it. It's all a political point, because Canada wants their own Guild. Since it's busy work, Eileifr thought of you."


The master's name made Katelina's heart stop. "What does The Guild want? Jorick isn't an Executioner anymore."


Jamie sighed. "Unfortunately, he's still on the books."
