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

Near the Canadian border, they stopped at a gas station papered with tourist advertisements. Katelina studied one for Niagara Falls. Her childhood was colored with her mother's dream of an "American Vacation." Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, and Niagara Falls. The places sitcom stars had visited with their fake families. "Are we going near there?"


Sarah squinted at the poster. "I don't know. I wish I had my phone." She moved to a rack of maps and unfolded one. After careful study she said, "I think we're going past that. We could stop."


Katelina nodded enthusiastically. "I'll tell Jorick."


She found him in the passenger seat of the SUV. When she explained, he shook his head. "Canadian Executioners are waiting for us in Toronto. I doubt sightseeing is on their itinerary."


"Partially. The overlook you want is Canadian."


"Isn't it before Toronto? The Executioners would never know."
