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.

Jamie called a few minutes later with the same story. When Jorick hung up, he gave Oren and Etsuko a more detailed rundown. "-The Atormentadores dealt with it by setting fire "


Katelina interrupted. "Who are the Arrto-whatever?"


He made a low noise in his throat. "The Atormentadores are the Mexican Executioners. As I was saying, they set fire to the entire village to destroy the evidence."


Katelina gaped. "They burned a whole town? What about the people?"


"Presumably they were lost. Jamie said the human news reported no survivors."


No survivors. An entire town gone. "Did Lilith kill everyone, or was it the Mexican Executioners?"


"I don't know," Jorick said patiently. "Jamie isn't there yet. He has very little information."


"They're sure it was Lilith?" Oren asked.


"No," Jorick said. "But from what Jamie and Verchiel gathered, the damage sounded similar."
