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 reconnaissance done, Katelina followed the others inside. Cutter met them in the entryway and escorted them back to the green lounge, where he produced blueprints of the mansion. It didn't interest Katelina, and she fell to whispers with Sarah.


When the others finished studying the plans, Cutter led them on a tour. Among the rooms were different colored lounges, a library, a den, a ballroom, a formal dining room that seated fifty, a smaller dining room, and a room of glass cases that contained Andrei's "collections". The kitchens had coolers of refrigerated blood, and walk in freezers.


The basement had a bowling alley, a miniature movie theater, and an indoor swimming pool surrounded by sea colored tiles and lush jungle plants. Upstairs were rows of bedrooms and sumptuous bathrooms, a trophy room, and what Cutter called a ladies' sewing salon, though it looked like another lounge to Katelina.
