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

Brad was hysterical, but to Katelina's surprise, her mother didn't mention vampires. "Katelina apparently checked me out of the-wherever I was-Yes-Yes-I'm fine-Are you home?" Patricia's face paled. "Just-no-we'll talk about this later. Kately. Give him directions to where we are-what curfew?"


"We could go pick him up?" Verchiel suggested, while Brad tried to explain the new circumstances in town. "It might be easier. We can get through the roadblocks."


"Brad? Brad. Brad! Listen, someone's going to come get you-Some friends of Kately's-We'll talk about things when you get here-Yes. Yes. I'll see you soon. I love you, too."


She hung the phone up and turned accusing eyes on them. "You'd better not hurt him."


"Me?" Verchiel asked innocently. "I wouldn't hurt a fly. All right, who's up for a road trip with me?"
