A. Kirk That is so wonderful to hear! We knew is was different from DNC and are so thrilled that you loved it! It's been a story we've had on the back burner for years while we worked on getting DNC series out. Then we felt it was a good time to get out Midnight Poison. So happy you love Leontes and Kickass Kiara (great alliteration which we adore! And it so fits!) The first Hex Boy Chronicle is with the editor, so that is what will come out next. Probably Sept. We have just started DNC 4, Dark Demon Knights, then it looks like we will get out the next MP. So we can't give an actual date, but with luck, if we can get DDK out by the end of the year or beginning of 2018, then we can get to the next MP. We also have prequels lined up for MP to give you some answers on the past relationship between Kiara and Leontes. We know you will love it! We will keep you posted as we know more. Thanks the amazing love and support, especially for a new book and series! XOXO
A. Kirk You are too kind! And we got you an answer with a bit of time to spare! Our next project is DNC 4 as we just got that first Hex Boy Chronicle to our editor and are waiting for him to do his magic so we can improve it and get it out to you. Thanks for all the love and praise. Your fabulous support keeps us writing every day! Much love and thanks! XOXO
A. Kirk That is one of the problems of independent publishing, we can't always have an actual date until we get really close. At the moment we are hoping for end of 2017 or early 2018. But the Hex Boy Chronicles following the HB adventures when they are away from Aurora during Demon In Disguise should be out next month! We will keep you posted and hope that helps with the wait! Thanks so much!
A. Kirk Not yet! WE are hoping for end of 2017 or early 2018. But the Hex Boy Chronicles following the HB adventures when they are away from Aurora during Demon In Disguise should be out next month! We will keep you posted! Thanks!
A. Kirk Hi Tarissa!

We put a post on FB this week that we are waiting on the proof to get shipped to us. It is supposed to arrive this week. If it looks good - cover, interior, etc - then it immediately becomes available, so fingers crossed! We put up a post on FB about this and added a picture of how the first page is going to look. You can check it out at www.facebook.com/AandEKirk. We try to keep updates there. Plus you can always ask at the DN Nest FB page. As you know that they can often answer questions faster than we do! Go happy you liked Midnight Poison and we can't wait to get you a hard copy in your hands! Did you have a favorite character?

Love and Hugs!
A. Kirk Hi Sidra!

We are trying for Dark Demon Knights to be ready by the end of the year, but we can't be sure. We are putting out a Hex Boys Point of view book in the next couple of months so hopefully that will help ease the wait. It will be a series of "Mission Reports" told from their perspective during Demons In Disguise. It will be part of a Hex Boys Chronicles series which will eventually cover all the regular DNC books. We think you will love it and it will help answer some questions about what was happening to them when they were "off page" so to speak.

Thanks for your question and we will keep you updated on Facebook, our Hexy Knight Newsletter (which you can sign up for on our aekirk.com website) and blog posts. You can also hang with other DNC fans in the FB fan group Divinicus Nex Nest. Those ladies have a lot of theories they love to discuss!

Thanks for loving Aurora and the Hex Boys!

Hugs

A. Kirk Hi Raffo!

We have been wanting to do an audio for a long time. So we are very happy that you like the idea too. Brilliant minds think alike!

It was something we put on the back burner while we worked on the gazillion other things on our to-do list. Anyway, next month we are starting our search for a narrator. Wish us luck! And we will be sure to keep you updated on our progress. Bottom line - an audio should happen sometime this year - hopefully by summer.

Thanks!
A. Kirk Hi Belinda,
We are a little late answering your questions, but it was because we were so busy working on MP so it wouldn't be delayed past the Feb 24 date. And good news, we made it! It just came out on Friday! Here's the link:

https://www.amazon.com/Midnight-Poiso...

Be warned, it is very different from DNC - dark, twisted, and completely insane! We have a note for our DNC fans right at the beginning of the book. But even though it's different, we hope you love it!

A. Kirk As far as Aurora changing, she is learning and dealing with a whole new world she didn't know existed, and developing things about herself that have vexed her for so long. So much of what is new to her is old hat to The Hex Boys.

Thanks for the interest in the characters. And for reading our stories!
A. Kirk So we can't really answer that with too much specificity, but we can say that we are planning at least 6 books in the series, and as they are currently planned, Aurora and the Hex Boys will be in all of them. As to what they are doing and how they are doing it, that is something that you will have to wait and read!

You can keep up on the latest scoop on our A and E Kirk Facebook Page, and you can dish with fans on the fanmade Facebook page called the Divinicus Nex Nest.

Thanks so much! We are very grateful for the love and support!
A. Kirk Book 4 called Dark Demon Knights has been pushed back to 2017, but the good news is that we will have the first in a new series out shortly, certainly before you birthday! DDK got pushed back because of the work we did getting Midnight Poison finished. As for ARCs on any of our books, we usually haven't given them out only because once the book is ready, we tend to get it out immediately. Because we self publish we usually don't have the lag time between when it's done and how fast it gets out to the public (that kind of delay happens with commercial publishers). But we have been looking at doing that. We will keep you informed if we do give out ARCs.

Midnight Poison is with our editor right now and we have started on DDK. It's exciting to get back to our beloved Hex Boys and Aurora! As for spoilers, well, you know we can't tell you much, but rest assured that Cristiano will be back. As will some other great characters, and of course, you will get to meet some new ones. We hope you love them all. Well, you might hate some, but that's okay too. We are just so happy you love and read our stories!

Big Hugs and Much Thanks!

Plus we always like to let you know that we have a lot of updates and latest news on our facebook page and the fanmade FB page. The fanmade, The Divinicus Nex Nest, has a lot of lovely (and hysterical) ladies gabbing on all things DNC and even the new series. Plus they have giveaways and we pop in now and then to say hi!

A. Kirk DN4 Dark Demon Knights is at the beginning stages so we are several months away. It got pushed back because of the changes on Midnight Poison. The good news is that Midnight Poison should be out soon, before the end of the year, so you will have a new book available! Hope that helps and thanks for the DNC love and support!

And by the way you are welcome to check out our A and E Kirk Facebook Page for the latest news, and you can dish with fans on the fanmade Facebook page called the Divinicus Nex Nest. Have fun!

A. Kirk Anna? Is that you again??? It's been too long! Haha. Hello again.

Fan art???? We LOOOOOOVE fan art. We do put it up on our FB page and then use it in our Newsletters (which we are behind on but some of the ladies from the group are going to help us with that.)

Anyway, Fan Art is awesome and we would love to see everything you have! If you can put in on the A and E Kirk FB site, that great, we have an album for it and we can put it in there and share it! But also it would really be the PERFECT thing for the Divinicus Nex Nest Group. We can have Isabelle Crusoe (the leader of our street team, The Kirk Clan. You can ask her anything. If she doesn't know, she'll find out. Several other ladies will help you too, no doubt. They are all the best. Katrin, Cierra, Claudia, Michelle, Aldii, are just a few of the names that come to mind, but everyone there is so willing to welcome you and help you out with whatever you need). Plus they can help us get your art over to the A and E Kirk site in our album, but then it would also be on their site as well. They have been talking about setting up a place for fan art. See, it's perfect!

You really need to go join that group. It is so much fun!

We will be looking for the fan art. Thank you so much for doing that! Can't wait! Please, please, please share it!!

Speakig of art, we are actually having an designer create the Gossamer Falls High School Mascot - a Gargoyle, of course! - so we can put it on some Gossamer Falls HS "school spirit" clothes for you guys, and just a bunch of other cool stuff. Fun, right???

Thanks for all the love - and the fan art. That is a huge compliment and show of support!

Love and Oodles of Thanks!

A. Kirk Hi Anna!
That is so kind of you to say! Thank you!!! We love and respect you too! It's great to know that wonderful fans like you have such a great sense of humor (our kind) and love for the DN characters and adventures!

Well, we are on the same mental page, we are trying to get DN4 Dark Demon Knights, out for Christmas 2016. Yay! But that is if all goes as planned, and if you know anything about our 2015, so many things did not go as planned. However, we are currently editing the first in a new series called Midnight Poison and that should come out in a few months, so some of our writing that we hope you enjoy in between DN3 and DN4.

Something else that might help you with the wait is this amazing bunch of fans that created a Facebook group that lovers of the DN Chronicles can join. You ladies are always dishing on everything related to the series - characters, plot, etc - and they are happy to chat with other Hex Boy (and Cristiano) lovers. Go introduce yourself. It's a fabulous group of ladies who would love to have you join their many conversations. They also just put out a video of their many conspiracy theories about the DN series. It's a hoot! Plus they have all the latest scoop of what we are up to even when we are in the Writing Cave!

Hope you join up and have a great time. We swing by every now and then because this group of lovelies is just too much fun to miss! Hope to see you there!

Tons of Love and Gratitude!

XOXO
PS: As for Cristiano, it's probably safe to assume you haven't seen the last of him. But go ask the ladies in the group (Divinicus Nex Nest), we are sure they have a billion opinions on that one! XOXO

A. Kirk Hi Shaily!
It's not wrong. What's wrong is that we don't write faster and create such torture for you! Ahhhhhh!

Well, we would love to get DN4 Dark Demon Knights out be Christmas of this year, but we will have to see how that goes. Before DDK we are currently editing the first in a new series called Midnight Poison which we hope to have out in a few months. We will keep you posted, on the website and the FB page.

Another way to keep up with what is happening is to join a Facebook group that the fans created. They have all the latest info that they share (when we are eyeball deep in writing) and they love to dish on all things DN, Hex Boys, and Aurora. And Cristiano (we are so happy you like him too) and Horus who seems to be a fan favorite, psycho that he is.

They also just put together a video with all their crazy DN theories. It is all amazing to see and chat and enjoy!

Here's the info

A. Kirk Hi Enigma!
That is a great question! We aren't sure. Time/portal travel makes our brain hurt! But so happy that you would be willing to go through the Waiting World to get DN4 - Dark Demon Knights - that much sooner. What a compliment!

We wish we could write them faster, but we do the best we can. To help with the wait, a bunch of fans have started a Facebook Group where they dish and chat about all things Hex Boys and DN related. They even just put together a video with all their crazy theories about what is going to happen in future books. Check in all out and hope you join up and chat along with them too! We pop in every now and then because it is so much fun to "listen" to you guys!

Love and Thanks! And stay away from the Waiting World! Unless you have a Hex Boy or Italian Sicarius warrior to take with you!

A. Kirk Hi Jenica!
Hormonal? Aurora? Don't know what you're talking about!

Just kidding!

Thanks for the question! Unfortunately, we can't answer any details on upcoming books, but we know where you can chat with wonderful fans that have the same questions as you!

The fans have a Facebook group where they dish on all this kind of stuff. Put your questions there, and you will have plenty of wonderful ladies offering up opinions and asking even more questions! They even just made a video of all their crazy conspiracy theories about the DN series. You should have fun!

A. Kirk Hi Brittany!
Sorry for the delay, but we've been writing like crazy.

Yes, they are only available on Amazon as we contract exclusively with them. HOWEVER, we can help you get them on your Nook. Here is the link to the post in our website. Isabelle Crusoe, the team leader for our Street Team, The Kirk Clan, can get you squared away.

Also, a bunch of fans created a Facebook Group just to talk about all things DN related. You are welcome to join! They have a lot of fun. They just made a video with many of their conspiracy theories about what will happen in future books. Check it all out!

A. Kirk Hi Natasha!
Thank you so very much for the love! It's what keeps us writing! Unfortunately we know nothing! (or at least can't divulge anything).

The good news is that there is a fabulous group on Facebook called The Divinicus Nex Nest. A bunch of wonderful fans created it and you can join and chat with them on all things Hex Boys, Aurora, and anything else DN related. Join up and you can post any and all of your questions and I know several of them who would love to give you their opinions. Especially on Matty. Ask Cierra-Nicole Crouch, who is obsessed with that Hex Boy!

They even just made a video of all the conspiracy theories they came up with about the DN series. It's awesome! Seriously go introduce yourself and chat with them. You won't regret it!

A. Kirk Hi Megan! Sorry for the delay but we go into hibernate mode when we get writing furiously. We are very glad you are impatient since that means you love the stories and characters! Thank you!

As for a date, we are hoping to get it out by the end of this year, but we don't know for sure. We will be putting out the first book in a new series called Midnight Poison. We are editing it now. We will keep you posted!

In the meantime, the fans have set up this great Facebook Group you can join to talk all things Divinicus Nex!

https://www.facebook.com/groups/nexne...

And check out the video they just made regarding all their theories about future books! Lots of fun!

Hope you join and have fun, and make it through the torturous wait for DN4 - Dark Demon Knights!

Love and Thanks!
