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.

 Oren checked the calendar. It had been a week since he'd called Jorick, and he was no nearer to a solution. He had three days left until the fourteenth. Three days to craft the perfect proposal. 


"It can't be done," imaginary Jesslynn scolded. "You should have taken more time, put more thought into it."


He shook off his discouragement. He'd spent the last two days pouring through books of poetry, looking for just the right prose. Nothing seemed to fit, and for the twelfth time he mentally crossed it off the list. It was back to dancing, which he still wasn't sure Etsuko could do, let alone how he'd instigate it at the still un-chosen romantic location.
