My work time in the field became something of a disaster, with little we did working, forcing us to be out longer than anticipated, both per-day and overall. I got home and immediately came down with a no-doubt-deployment-related bad cold that made my brain too fuzzy to write. I'm finally coming out of that and hope to get back to the writing I had intended to get done in the evenings when in the field. Look for new chapters to _Las Amadas and The Team_, _A New Tree_, and _Sandy II_ next week.

Through some mixup or other, my Halloween story (Trick or Treat, Suck My Teat) did not get posted until today. Oh, well.

I'm in the final stages of editing Book Two of _Beth_ for Bookapy, which might be available in a week or two. I apologize to those readers of _Beth_ who came in late and had not gotten anywhere near the end (one recent correspondent had reached only Chapter 34) when all but the intro and first chapters were taken down to support publication at Bookapy. I hope to stay ahead of re-editing the rest of the story so that there will be as little delay as possible while we get subsequent _Beth_ books available at Bookapy.

I've not gotten much written in _Las Amadas and The Team_ of late, due to a writing project for work and, now, my recent deployment into the field. I will probably get little or nothing done for the _Beth_ sequel until returning home, probably late next week. I did manage to sneak enough time to finish off Chapter 15; it's in the publication queue for tonight.

I see that the first book of Beth (Chapters 1-20) is available, with a link at the end of the SOL Chapter 1 of the story. I apologize for the clunky way this has gone, but this is my first experience with this.

_Beth_ will soon be published on Bookapy, and when that happens, the powers that be take all but the first chapter down from SOL, then add the chapters back one at a time every few days. Unfortunately, the powers that be took _Beth_ down without telling me, so I did not have a chance to write a blog post explaining that and warning current readers who may not have finished the story.

If my readers couldn't tell, late August is a critical time for three of my stories in the Beth universe, and I need to synch those stories so that one doesn't steal thunder from one or both of the others. Currently, _Sandy II_ is ahead in the calendar and _A New Tree_ has been on hiatus waiting for that story's main character to return home from the weekend being documented in Beth II (otherwise known as _Las Amadas and The Team_). That weekend will take quite some time, given that the first 12 or so hours of it required eleven chapters of the story! That eleventh chapter from August 24th will post in the evening of 20 October (NYC time).
