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

When everyone was off the plane, they made their way through the airport. The wait wasn't long. Soon two SUVs with government plates appeared. What had the Executioners done? Killed some FBI guys and stolen their vehicles? 


She took her place in the backseat, clutching her suitcase, one of Torina's bags stuffed under her feet. She thought of Verchiel's "travel light" policy and wished more of them practiced it. All the luggage was getting to be a pain.


At least we left Sarah's stuff at Oren's house.


They drove away from the airport, toward the smoke. It ran the length of the horizon, mountain-like except for the motion. Near the bottom, Katelina could see the flare of orange that signaled flames.


Sorino leaned up. "Thirty miles? Maybe less."


It was going to be even less if they kept heading straight for it.
