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's thoughts fell away when she noticed several figures on the porch. A Japanese girl, dressed in a puffy pink dress, looked no more than thirteen. The doll she clutched, dressed in a matching outfit, made her seem even younger. Clustered around her were three males. The tallest had long black hair, while a coppery redhead leaned on a cane, his right trouser leg tied off where his ankle had once been. The third was still human and no more than seventeen, if he was that old.


"Jorick-ue!" Maeko hurried towards them. "You have brought a new friend!"


"I don't know who she is." He stopped before the diminutive vampiress. "Verchiel dumped her on us."


Sharon cringed into herself. Katelina felt the prickle of her humiliation and sighed. It really wasn't her fault. "There's someone after her," she explained.
