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.

Verchiel appeared next to the wind walker, swinging his sword. William dodged at the last second to resurface next to Angelica. She stumbled back into Zachariah. The vampire swore. Adding insult to injury, she wrenched the spiked tonfa away from him and readied to defend herself.


Zander spun in a circle. He slammed his mace into Aalot's back, knocking him to the ground. "Lies!" He swung in a broad downward arc. Aalot rolled out of the way. Leaving the weapon to slam into the dirt.


Aalot's friend moved to interfere. Brandle intercepted him with a clash of weapons.
