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

Katelina drifted to sleep in Jorick's arms, but woke suddenly. There was the memory of a voice, though she didn't know what it had said, or who it belonged to. Her eyes jerked to the door. Silence. As she started to relax, a soft sound came, like a shuffle. She threw back the blankets and catapulted over Jorick. She jerked the door open, but there was only Sarah, staring down the corridor. Their eyes met and they nodded, then Katelina returned to her bed and Jorick's curious questions.


"I thought she was crazy, too," Katelina whispered. "But this is the second time I've heard someone. Maybe she's right. Maybe the stalker is real."


Jorick asked the same question she had: Why would anyone stalk Sarah?


"Maybe if we find out who, we can find out why."
