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. 

Twenty-nine short stories of love, death, heartbreak, and blood.
Meet the Executioners, elite enforcers of the vampires’ laws. Walk with them through origin stories, follow them across the sea to the colonies, and run with them through the wilds, as they try to bring civilization to a land ruled by “day sleeper” clans. Fifteen interwoven stories tell the beginning of The Guild, set under the watchful - and sometimes malevolent - gaze of the ancient Malick, whose heavy shadow stretches even across the sea. Meet his favorite son, his willful daughter, his child-like pet, and many more whose jealousies, hatreds, and loves twist together to create consequences they can’t foresee. 


Tales of the Executioners

"Stress doesn't seem to trigger her ability," Gildan said, hands behind his back as he peered through the window to their subject. "Perhaps not all powers are enhanced by it?"


"No idea." Philip dropped back into the chair and yawned. "Demon eye takes practice to use, to focus. Even if she does get clips of the future, there's no guarantee she'll see herself, unless she's focusing. And even then" Even then there was no guarantee.


"Perhaps you're right. Perhaps there's too much going on here. She's running, hiding, crouching. Physical activity may not be conducive to such powers. Perhaps we'll try her on a table."


Gildan gave the orders and the vampiress was dragged away. The scientist made several notes in a file, then motioned Philip to follow. "We may want to continue the torture."
