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://terribleturtles.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.
