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 shook her head. "I don't think Samael is looking for the blade of Nuwa. He hasn't mentioned it."


"You're still in communication with him, even after the change?"


As if to save her from a reply, Verchiel announced, "I love this song," and dragged her toward the dance floor with a wave to their acquaintances.


He stopped in a likely place and put his hand on her waist.


"You know how to dance?" she asked doubtfully.


Katelina looked to the swirling dancers. Skirts flared and feathers swished. "I don't. Not like that."


"I guess we'll fake it." He caught her other hand in his. "At least for a couple of twirls, or Sorino will know we ran away from him." He gave her a spin. "You know, if Andrei thinks Samael's after that dagger, it's no wonder he demanded extra security."
