Joleene Naylor grew up in southwest Iowa surrounded by soybeans, corn and very little entertainment – so she made her own. She has been writing and drawing since she was a small child, with a particular leaning towards fantasy, horror and paranormal. It is this love of all that goes bump in the night that lead her to write the paranormal fantasy series Amaranthine.
Besides writing, she also does cheap book covers (http://coverart.joleenenaylor.com)and maintains a large selection of free stock photos on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/pandora_6666) as well as illustrating a weekly webcomic (http://tttc.joleenenaylor.com).
In what free time is left she blogs, updates her website at www.JoleeneNaylor.com, and hopes to win the lottery. Until she does, she and her husband live near Bolivar Missouri with their dog, cats and turtles. However, unless she starts buying tickets she may never actually win anything.
You can contact Joleene at Joleene@joleenenaylor.com, and if you’re still bored, you can find her personal blog at http://ramblingsfromthedarkness.wordpress.com. You can also find her on blogger at http://joleenenaylor.blogspot.com and on Facebook http://facebook.com/joleene.naylor
She currently has several books available for purchase on Amazon and/or Smashwords.
Amaranthine series:
- Shades of Gray
- Legacy of Ghosts
- Ties of Blood (Coming October 2011)
- Sins of the Father
