GOAL OF 50K MET & EXCEEDED

I'm thrilled. Absolutely thrilled to announce that as of this very  minute, CATHERINE is at 54,402 words... and I'm not completely finished. Whoo Hoo!

I'm still fleshing out the final chapters, adding more angst and inner thoughts, but the meat and potatoes are on the page and everything else is all fluff.
