Hi Mary,
I had around 45k words on book 5, but when I looked it over recently, I knew I had to scrap most of it. The words didn't flow and I could tell I wasn't 100% focused when I wrote it because it meandered all over the place and wasn't moving forward at the pace I wanted it to. So, I started over.
I'm happy to report that now I'm on the right track! I just needed to be in the right mindset. Now that I am, I'm hoping the process will go by quickly! Once the first draft of book 6 is done, I should have pre-order and release dates for both at that time...
I still have a ways to go, but I will be updating you all as soon as I can and hope a release date isn't too far in the future!

Hi! Yes, I have a ton of ideas for different series, but I'm going to focus on putting out books in the Crime Lord Series and completing the Singed Series before moving onto something new. :)
Mia Knight
Creating audiobooks is a future project of mine. When I do start the process, I will let you all know so you're informed!
Mia Knight
Yes, the prequel is a future project of mine ;)

Hi Trinni, I am still working on book 5 and don't have a release date. As soon as I have one, I will post everywhere!

Hi Mandy! I'm so glad you enjoyed! I will be writing MANY of them! Most of the characters I introduced will be getting a story: Marcus, Angel, Raul, Roque, Blade, Eli Stark, Lucifer... It's gonna be a wild ride! I post teasers in my FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/miakn...

Hi Laila and thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed! Yes, the series is categorized in contemporary/suspense and sometimes dark romance. It kind of straddles the line. Not dark enough to have warnings and not clean enough to be considered a straight up suspense or contemporary. Sometimes it gets put into dark and that's fine with me since it's not a safe read and I get complaints from those who aren't ready for the darker elements.

Hi Kristy! I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed the series! I actually read your reviews and loved them as well. I love reading a thorough, comprehensive review. As for different POVs... I will write the prequel eventually. From their first meet to him finding her again. I'm playing around with the idea of writing Crime Lord's Captive from Gavin's POV... That hospital scene in particular would be interesting from Gavin's POV. Maybe I'll write it in future ;) At the moment, I'm deep in Carmen's story and have released sneak peeks of her book and a scene from the prequel in my FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/miakn.... Thank you for reaching out to me and your wonderful reviews! I hope to see you in the group and we shall see about clips of Gavin's POV in future.
Mia Knight
Yes, I have considered doing a prequel. I get asked this question quite often. I figure I will do it eventually but want to give the other character's their stories first. As for updates on the new book, I've dropped several teasers and clips for Carmen's book in my Facebook group so make sure you join: https://www.facebook.com/groups/15733...
Mia Knight
Yes, the series does continue, Carmen's book is next and Angel and Blade (among other characters) will get stories within the Crime Lord Series as well.
Mia Knight
It has to be the Harry Potter world. I would walk down Diagon Alley, gawking and trying to buy everything in sight.
Mia Knight
Haha. I want to write a book about Nora, but that will have to be after the ones I've committed to already: Blade, Carmen, the Roman brothers, Eli Stark, etc. Nora has a lot of growing up to do but I already have an idea of how I want her story to go. Never fear ;)
Mia Knight
Hi Cindi! So glad to hear you enjoyed the series. If you have a chance, please make sure you leave a review! :) As for the series, yes, the Crime Lord Series is continuing. I am currently writing Carmen's book and I recently announced that I will be writing books for (in no particular order): Marcus, Blade, Raul, Roque, Angel (Roman brothers), Lucifer & Eli Stark. I am also thinking about a story for a grown up Nora, but it's still percolating so... I'll be busy for years, I'm sure. Haha.
Mia Knight
Haha. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Book 4 is Carmen's book and Blade will eventually get his book, along with a lot of other characters so stay tuned! If you have a chance, please leave a review!
Mia Knight
I research everything from police procedures to the terms for tricks that strippers do on poles. It just depends what I'm writing :)
Mia Knight
Hi Mindy, the book will be released soon. Thank you for leaving reviews. It won't be out in time for your 55 birthday (Happy early Birthday!) but it will be out before the end of the month.
Mia Knight
Hi Sunami! I'm so glad you're enjoying the series! I don't have an exact release date, but I'm aiming for April 2017.
Mia Knight
Hi Paula! Thank you for your kind words. Please leave a review, it helps me out a lot! As for Carmen, I am working on her story at the moment. I've been leaving little tidbits on book 3 on my Facebook page so feel free to join us: https://www.facebook.com/miaknightbooks/
Mia Knight
Hi Barbara, I'm so glad you enjoyed the series thus far! Please leave a review, it helps me out a lot. I am currently writing the 3rd book so I won't have a release date until I'm finished. I think it's more likely that the book will come out in March 2017 but I will keep you all posted!
Mia Knight
I was actually in the middle of writing a different series when Gavin popped out of nowhere and stole the show. I knew he was completely wrong for the series I was writing so I created another series for him and Crime Lord's Captive was born.
