Okay, first—sorry for the delay. Between illness and life becoming wonderfully chaotic, things got a little rough for a while. But I have been working, even during the silence. When I couldn’t sit at a keyboard, I was still dictating scenes and pushing the story forward until I could properly write again.
          	
          	And honestly? Some pretty massive changes came out of that process. Changes I think made the story stronger.
          	
          	Chapter 18 was rewritten entirely from the opening onward, and I’m currently about 75% finished with it. There’s a lot happening in this chapter. Chapter 19 is around 85% complete, and yes—we finally arrive in Goldrith to begin unraveling the mystery:
          	
          	Where is Lisa?
          	
          	This is also the final week of school for the kiddos, which means I can finally reclaim my evenings after work and focus again.
          	
          	If all goes well, I’m hoping to have the next two chapters posted within about a week once final edits and cleanup are done.
          	
          	And to everyone who stuck around during the wait: thank you. Truly. Your patience means more than you know.
          	
          	The next arc is going to reveal truths Natasha may not be ready for.
          	
          	Stay tuned.

Quick update: I’m still working on this story, but life has me a bit tied up right now. It’s been a little while since my last update, and I appreciate you all sticking with me.
          
          When I return, I’m planning a chapter drop with multiple updates at once,so we’ll make up for lost time.
          
          To everyone who’s been reading, loving, and supporting this story,thank you. Truly. I’m sorry for the delay. I can’t go into much detail, but sometimes life just… slows everything down.
          
          I’ll be back soon. Thank you for your patience

Quick update. My stories haven’t been abandoned. Unfortunately, I’ve been dealing with a sick household for the past two weeks, which threw my writing schedule off track. I promise Chapter 18 is coming—and I’m going to try to release Chapter 19 on the same day. Please bear with me. Thank you all again for your support and understanding. You being here, reading my humble story, means the world to me. I’m truly sorry for the delay.

Heads up. I pulled chapters 11-17 of Claimed By A Cat Alien for some minor editing. Those chapters will be restored gradually over the next two days. I know it's crazy, but it's my writer's brain at work. Chapters 18 and possibly 19 will be published no later than Friday. I apologize for the delay.  And if you've stuck with me, thank you!

Hello everyone! If you're still here waiting for the next chapter, thank you. I truly appreciate your patience.
          
          I want you to know that I am working on it. These chapters take time, and I never want to rush them. My goal is always to give you something well-written and enjoyable when I finally hit publish.
          
          The good news: Chapter 18 is over 85% complete. I'm currently finishing up the final act, so we're very close.
          
          Thank you all for sticking with the story and for your continued support!

Update Time!
          
          Hi, friends! I know you’ve been patiently waiting for the next chapters of Claimed by a Cat Alien, and I promise—they’re coming.
          
          Here’s where we are:
          
          Chapter 16 – 99% complete. Just a few tiny edits left, and I’m finishing those today.
          
          Chapter 17 – 85% done. I’m working through the closing beats, and whew… they have given me absolute hell. I wanted to cry. But they’re important, so they’re staying.
          
          Chapter 18 – 75% complete (yes, I absolutely skipped ahead when I got stuck—don’t judge me ).
          
          Technically, I could post Chapter 16 today… but I really want you to experience at least 16 and 17 together. The impact will hit better that way.
          
          So hang in there just a little longer. I’m moving as fast as I can while still making sure these chapters land the way they’re supposed to.
          
          Thank you for your patience and for caring about this story the way you do.

Quick Announcement!
          
          I'm currently working on the next two chapters for Claimed by a Cat Alien and hope to have them posted sometime this week. Chapter 16 ended up being much longer than expected, so I’ve split it into two chapters.
          
          For those following Love and Circuits, I’m also hoping to post the next chapter soon.
          
          In addition, I’d love to share something new I’m working on called The Gnome In My Backyard, a cozy fantasy about second chances. I’d really appreciate it if you’d like to preview the first two chapters and share your feedback.
          
          A huge thank you to everyone who’s given my stories a chance. I know updates can be slow at times, but I truly value quality and want to publish chapters that resonate with readers. If it’s taking a little longer, it’s because I’m making sure the story is something I’m proud to share.
          
          Thanks again for your support!

Hey, what happened to Love And Circuits? 

Its_Me_Kai

@KayNichols congratulations on that btw, and it doesn't sound insane, The Absolute is the first book I a. Completely fully and b. Was really passionate about, I put it up for the Ambys full on thinking it wasn't going anywhere, then it goes pass all three rounds and becomes a grand favorite and even though I am shocked and happy, I'm also like, is it really that good?

@Its_Me_Kai  This will sound insane.
            
            When I first hit #1, I was so excited—still not clear on how it happened, but overjoyed. Then it hit me: I could be seen. I was exposed. And not only that… those around me had tens of thousands of views. I felt completely out of place.
            
            Where I once wrote confidently and happily in the shadows, I suddenly started comparing myself. Yikes. It nearly crushed me.
            
            I had to take a deep breath and remember the promise I made to myself: if even one person liked what I put out, that would be enough. I owe it to the ones who gave me a shot to finish what I started.
            
            I know you didn’t ask for all of this… lol. But as someone on a similar journey, I imagine you get it.

@KayNichols I understand that, I almost took my entire book down.
