Hello, are you looking for book updates?
This page is where you can find the nitty gritty details about what's going on behind the scenes. I will do my best to keep this updated with all the important things you as readers want to know.
Yes Now Yes Forever Release Date!!! 12/19/2024
Buckle up Unicorns we have a lot of exciting things to cover!
First I want to get just a little sappy with you all. 2024 did not go at all how I planned it, but changes in my life needed to be made. I didn’t realize how much I’d stuffed down to deal with later because I didn’t have time to fall apart. Well guess what, your body and brain are rather amazing creations. Once I reached a place in life where I felt stable and it was safe for me to finally have my meltdown I crashed hard. However thanks to the AMAZING community that I’ve built over the years I didn’t have to face this alone.
A huge shout out to my assistants Britt, Cass, and Heather for keeping the wheels on the train while I couldn’t. Devyn, you are the biggest blessing in my life and I love that we have a relationship where you can tell me hard truths and I listen. Without you being by my side through this it would have been a hell of a lot harder. Thank you for being the best friend I truly needed.
*don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry*
Okay, now that I’ve gotten that out of my system let’s move on to the fun bits!
The release date for Yes Now Yes Forever is officially January 24th!
Since I am on the shit list for Amazon I can’t put up any pre-orders for awhile So I decided to try something new! I’ll be offering up a pre-order through my website and on the 24th it will be sent directly to you and can be read on any device.

Come January 25th Yes Now Yes Forever will be added into the Kindle Unlimited library for everyone who uses that service. Due to the rules of KU I can’t have the book being sold anywhere else but Amazon if it’s in KU, hence the one day delay.
The next book I will be working on in the new year is Two for the Show, book 2 for Von who you all met in the Caprioni Queen series. And yes before I get a billion emails Ivy will have her story told as well. Not sure how that is going to play out yet, but when do I ever lol.
Special Editions 2025
I have been working on some pretty cool projects for 2025! This time around I wanted to try something different and give more people access to buying them.
Dax is turning 5 years old this February so to celebrate I’ve created a limited edition 5 year anniversary box set! There will only be a certain amount of sets printed and when I run out of them they’re not going to be reprinted. Please note the photos I’m showing of this set are digital representations of what is going to be created so there might be some slight changes with the real deal.
What is included?
-
A slipcover with custom art
-
All six books in the series
-
Full foil covers with a matte black background
-
End papers with the custom art that matches the slipcase
-
Sprayed edges
-
COLORED TEXT!!!!! (pink for Vol 1&2 teal for Harper’s)
-
Special swag for pre-orders
That’s not all, there’s more! (said in the best infomercial voice ever)
Dax isn’t the only one getting something special, my girl Astin refused to be a step behind. The Caprioni Queen series is going lux with my new discrete covers! This will be a limited deluxe paperback box set worthy of the mafia queen.
What does deluxe mean?
-
A limited edition slipcover
-
Sprayed edges
-
Matte cover with 3D neon gloss over title to make it POP
-
Special swag for pre-orders
Right now I have a PRE-PRINT order up on my website for both of these special editions which ends 2/28/2025. This means the books haven’t been printed yet but you’re guaranteed to get a copy when they arrive. Everyone who pre-orders gets special edition swag included.

Shipping for overseas bulk orders takes 1-2 months after printing. Once they get to me in April/May (if it’s sooner then I will ship sooner) I will work on getting them out to you guys as quickly as possible. I will be adding both sets to all my signing order forms as well, so if you are attending one of them you won’t have to pay for shipping.
*make sure to order through Beventi so as not to be charged shipping*
These pre-orders are open to everyone and anyone who wants to buy them. If you have any questions about international shipping feel free to email me at ek@elizabethknightbooks.com.
I hope you all end this year with a good book, hot drink, and people you love ❤️🦄
Black Friday Sale 11/29 - 12/2/2024
Well it is finally fall here in Arizona so I got to throw open my windows, pull out my sweaters, and put the extra comfy blanket on my bed! Here in the desert we don’t get to enjoy our cool weather long so we take advantage of every second.
Thanksgiving is next week and I wanted to give you guys a sneak peek as to what I’ve got planned for Black Friday! The sale will start on the 29th and last until December 2nd. All my hardback books will be 30% off and for everything else it will be, spend $50 and get 25% off the total. These will be automatically added at checkout so no need to remember a code. I allowed for most of the books to have the pre-order option available, which means if I ran out of stock you can still buy it at that special price and I’ll put in an order straight away to get more printed.
My special 2 vol edition of Hidden Empire with foil and sprayed edges will be for sale on my website. There is a limited amount of them so what I’ve got is all there is, this version will not be reprinted. Due to some damages in the process of having them printed I have an uneven amount of Vol 1 vs. Vol 2, so I’ll have a few of Vol 1 for sale by itself.
In addition I’m putting up some scratch and dent stock. These are first come first serve and I won’t be taking pictures of all of them, but just know they might have minor imperfections (bent corners, small nicks or scratches, crinkled pages) or might have been signed to someone who never came to pick up their order at a signing. All sales are final on these books.
Last but not least let's talk 2025 and what my goal is going to be. Yes Now Yes Forever is what I’m working on now, my plan is to have it published in January 2025. That is as detailed as I’m going to get with that because I won’t know anything for sure until I get it to my editor. After that I will be turning my focus on Two for the Show, book 2 for Von in the Gun Runner series, a spin off of Caprioni Queen.
**Please note that for the foreseeable future all books will be live releases there will be no pre-orders posted!**
In full and upfront honesty as I always am with you I’ll let you know what my action plan is for next year. I’ve worked out the best way to give myself the best balance of work, life, and travel. 2025 is my international signing year and that takes a lot out of a girl. Which is why I’ve set my publishing goal to be only 4 books in 2025. If I can manage to do more, that’s fucking awesome, but I also can’t allow myself to fall into the bad habits I’ve worked so hard to overcome. This is the job I love and I want to give it my all, but I can’t let it overtake my entire life. A healthy mind and body work far better than one that’s been abused and wrung out.
I hope wherever you are in the world that you know how important you are to me, and I feel so blessed to have readers as amazing as all of you are!
Yes Now Yes Forever Pre-Order Canceled 9/6/2024
Hello my readers,
Yes Now Yes Forever’s pre-order has been canceled. I’m sorry this announcement is going to be rather disappointing for many of you. I get it and I totally understand how you feel, I’m disappointed as well. However what I will tell you is that I’m working on the book, there are words on paper!
The reason why I’ve had to go the route of canceling the book, is because I wouldn’t finish it in time to give my editor the six weeks she needs. Trust me, being ADHD and Dyslexic you do not want to read my books before having my editor work on them 😂.
An additional thing to be aware of: I will only be doing live releases for the foreseeable future. This choice was made with a fair amount of thought. Right now with my mental health I can’t guarantee much. Things are getting better, I’m receiving the help I need and just started on a new medication. Fingers crossed it will help with my killer fatigue. My goal is not to torture you but to make sure I am doing what is best for both of us. If I don’t have the fear of not making a deadline, losing pre-orders, or having to write posts like this then we will all win out.
If you guys have questions or what updates I have three options that will work best.

Thank you all for sticking with me through this whole process, it’s been a rough road of dealing with grief, hard truths about myself, and learning that my mental health matters just as much as everyone else’s.
Much love 🩷 Elizabeth Knight
Two For The Show & Yes Now Yes Forever Update 8/13/2024
Two For The Show
You probably clicked on this link to find out what's going on with book two of Von's story. There was a pre-order put up and it might still show on Goodreads because we can't remove anything from that site. Back in April I made the call to cancel the pre-order and tried to share it in as many places as I can but the world is a big place. Knowing this I decided to make a page where I could keep you all in the loop without fear of it getting lost.
The simple answer to this question is...right now Von's series has been put on pause. What this does NOT mean is that the series isn't going to be finished. Von would never stand for that and neither do I. Once I have a firm date that won't be changing, I'll make sure to blast it from the mountain tops! (You can also sign up for my text notifications if you want to be sure not to miss anything super important)
Yes Now Yes Forever
There is a pre-order up for this book dated November 2nd. https://geni.us/YNYF
I'll be real with you guys, this is the date to expect and it might even be pushed back a little further. I love Lyra and her men so very much, but she has lots of trauma and loss in her story. Due to my own mental health I am struggling to keep her issues from colliding with my own.
It's no secret that I'm on a mental health journey which started because of how burnt out I was feeling. Since working with my therapist I've discovered how much not dealing with grief of losing my father almost five years ago has drained me. My father was an incredibly important person in my life and he passed in September 2019. Unwilling to face that loss I locked away my grief until my body refused to hold onto that burden any longer. Funny thing about writing, apparently you need to feel emotions in order to write them. Understanding this, I became determined to face my hard truths and deal with matters I'd really rather not revisit. I know it's the only way I'm going to heal and allow me to write for many years to come.
I realize my choices affect you guys and I didn't make them lightly, but my mental health has to come first no matter what. Thank you to all of you who have reached out, sent notes, or shared your own struggles, it's beyond heartwarming to know none of us have to struggle alone. I'm not giving up, I refuse to lose the job I love and the amazing people I've met along the way. Words have power and I choose to use mine to uplift others wherever I can.
Much Love,
Elizabeth
❤️🦄 your friendly neighborhood unicorn 🦄❤️
