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

On the second floor they ran into Marna. The brunette vampiress smiled. "You aren't going to the Feast, are you?"


"There are a few of us skipping it and we thought we might have our own party in the TV room. Would you like to join?"


Katelina looked to Kai, but the teen stayed as expressionless as ever, so she nodded.


"Wonderful! I'm helping Annabelle get ready then I'll be in. I think Hannah's already there. See you later." With a smile the vampiress headed off.


As she said, the braid wearing Hannah was already seated on the couch. The once over she gave them was cool, though not hostile. When Katelina offered her a stiff smile, she returned it.


Kolli strolled through the door, his blonde hair mussed in a modern style, and his hands in his pockets. "They're all locked up," he announced cheerfully. "Just don't let me forget to let them out at sunup." He suddenly noticed Katelina and Kai. "Hello! How are you?"
