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 and Jorick were downstairs when Sarah caught up to them. She tugged Katelina away, but wouldn't say what she wanted until they were cloistered in her bedroom.


Sarah's hand curled into an irritated fist. "About the stalker standing outside my door in the daytime. This morning you said you heard them, remember?"


Had she? The tangle of the day's weirdness had blown it from her mind. "Oh, yeah. I said I thought I might have"


Sarah deflated slightly. "You said you did." Her spine straightened and she turned brisk. "Never mind."


"No," Katelina said quickly. Best to humor her. "I believe you. What about it?"


"I think it's time we lay a trap for them."


Sarah chewed her lip. "I don't know. I thought we could hide somewhere and wait, but there's nothing to hide behind. Then I thought of staying awake in our rooms, but they're always gone before we can open the door, so they're too fast for that."
