I'll get Chapter 33 uploaded sometime soon. My other writing commitments... other current writing commitments are nearly completed. This may mean that I can get more than a half-chapter ahead in writing, which might mean that I can get more chapters uploaded sooner. However, that's not at all a guarantee. Some writing things come up unexpectedly, as did the one last month that chewed up a lot of my free time.

I've uploaded Ch 32. Unfortunately, work and other writing commitments will be taking up much of my time over the next week or so, thus subsequent chapter uploads will probably be delayed.

I have just uploaded a floor plan of the Williams house (as an appendix) and chapter 31. I've had the plan since shortly after I began writing Beth, but am only just getting around to posting it.

I've re-posted Chapter 30, again, as I did a relatively poor copy-editing job on it before.
