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.

"After breakfast we'll move that stuff."


Katelina nodded to Sarah's half heard words, though she still thought it was crazy. She expected Jorick to agreehe'd said he didn't want her to do anything dangerousbut he only said, "Whatever you want."


Sarah laid her glass on the sideboard. "Ready?"


Without a valid excuse, Katelina followed. As they wove their way down the corridor, she felt the heavy oppression of an old vampire.


Kali stepped in front of them and took Sarah's hands in hers. Tol and Ren stood on either side, wearing their strange smiles.
