Hi guys! I's been, like, two months past when I said it would be, but the book is finally released!
What was the holdup? Well, as I said, I got the book professionally edited, and after it was done, I printed out a proof copy. When it arrived, it looked fantastic, and that evening, in celebration, my wife and I read the first few chapters out loud to each other that evening before bed.
And we were... disappointed.
The editor missed so many things, and in some cases even introduced errors (especially regarding commas inserted into compound predicates before the coordinating conjunction). We ended up having to self edit, but we only had an hour or two a day to do it in, so it streched out over six weeks. It was kinda miserable.
That being said, the book is finally done, and we put it up on Amazon! Nothing major changed, but I fixed a few continuity errors people spotted and, in some cases, made the character's motivations a little more clear. Autumn's got a couple of new magic items, for instance, there's two new pages of dialogue hinting at why she didn't just come clean to Gavin before the road trip, and some info regarding Lilah's documentation and doctor's appointments were tightened. CitP's about as polished as it can get! You can buy the completed Catgirl in the Pantry Here, or read it for free if you have kindle unlimited!
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
As I warned you all at the beginning, this book is now being removed from Royal Road. The exceptions are the first two chapters and the bonus chapters; these will remain as a teaser for the full book. I've done that raffle I promised, and the winner is Theodoor! As I said, chances for winning were based on the number of words in the review, and had Theo's review been 22 words shorter it would have gone to somebody else, lol.

I'm notifying him right now, and his free copy should be on the way as soon as I get an address from him!
Thanks for everything, guys. It's been a wild ride.
Hope to see you on board for the next one. <3
