Readers, I write today to inform you that I'm moving three stories from the Beth Universe to my new Ridiculous Universe: A New Tree, Las Amadas and The Team [LA&TT; now without parentheses, again], and Sandy--25 (or so) Years Later. I am also in the process of, at the suggestion of at least one reader, aggregating all former chapters of Las Amadas and The Team from single days into single chapters, reducing the number of published chapters from 32 to five. That brings the putative sequel of Beth (the story) into synch with Beth (for the most part). However, with those three stories being catapulted into a different universe, this note also provides fair warning that LA&TT will drift from Beth's very strong focus on the LA to a wider focus; in time, a very much wider focus. Indeed, I am considering merging A New Tree with LA&TT, interdigitating the various authorial contributions by date/time; I have more thinking to do on that. The process of revamping the LA&TT chapters should be completed today (6 Jan; NYC date).
