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 next movie played through. More intelligent than the last, it lacked the terrible effects but managed to have some of the same clunky acting. Katelina hoped the third selection was better.


Marna got up to eject the disc, and Brandle made a show of stretching. "This is a party, isn't it? We should play a game."


He scratched his chin and looked thoughtful. "Hmmmm. How about-Hide Fox?" They blinked and he grinned. "I'm sorry, Hide and Seek they call it now."


The selection seemed childish, but if the others thought so they didn't say. It was agreed that Kai would remain in the TV room, with the door locked to be safe, and the base would be the door itself.


"I'll be 'it' first, shall I?" Brandle volunteered. "You'd better hide quickly, I count fast."


He hid his eyes and the others took off. Katelina stood helplessly in the hall behind him, trying to come to terms with a group of adults playing a kindergarten game.
