Thanks to an inveterate reader pointing out some glaring, but accidental replacements of "Charlize" with "Celeste," I've made corrections to this chapter and put it in the queue for re-publication. Apparently, I've got just too many character names beginning with 'C' to keep solid track of them. {eyeroll}

The next chapter will be available the night of Oct 3, at least for those in the western hemisphere. My work schedule is looking fairly benign, but that is, of course, subject to change with little notice. However, writing is going well, so I should get the next few chapters out at roughly four-day intervals.

My thoughts go out to those suffering through Ian's devastation, and I wish you the best.

Just a quick note to say that the expected uptick in work for me in September started in late August, in fact shortly after my previous bog post. I might not get to much of anything other than work for at least another few days.

Work has slowed, so I've been able to take some comp time due and gotten a lot of writing done. Chapter 118 will post tonight, and Chapter 119 will post on the 30th. I decided to do it that way as, looking ahead, work may get hectic again in September and I wanted to have something recently added if I got behind in writing in the first week or so of the month. Thanks to Beth's readers, particularly to those readers messaging me of late. Some of those comments have been both much appreciated and helpful.

One reader asked how many chapters were yet to come in Beth. Since others may like to know such, I told the writer that story time would cover the next premier-team season in its entirety, so story time will continue at least nearly through August 2018.

A lot of important stuff happens in this chapter, so I've been a while writing it. As I often do, I allow ideas that come to me during writing free rein to see where they go. On 116, I wound up making two very long excursions that I ultimately decided not to use. One or both might eventually wind up in Beth Outtakes. Be prepared, as this chapter is a shade over 19K words, and should be published sometime tonight (or tomorrow morning if you're on the other side of the world).
