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.

It was two hours later when Sarah joined them in the TV lounge. She dropped down on the couch next to Katelina and glared at Jorick and his book. "I suppose he dragged you up here?"


Katelina paused the show. "No. He isn't big on TV. He wanted to hang out in the library, but there were some women in there-Marna and a blonde who stared at him like she wanted to eat him."


"Trivila," Sarah said. "I ran into them while I was looking for you."


Cornelius appeared at the door, twisting his hat in his hands. "I apologize, sir, but there's a new bunch to interrogate."


Katelina groaned. Another hour of angry chattering and unhappy guards.


With a huff, Jorick closed his book and swept to his feet. "You don't need to come, little one. I'll be back."
