The Beth cycle

Beth is a young woman from the 25th century who has only one dream: to travel through space.
One day, she wins twelve journeys thanks to a lottery. The dream becomes reality.
But from her very first attempt, something feels off: Beth is not quite like everyone else…

That was the original pitch of this story, which began in 2014, on April 1st.

I started writing it at the pace of one chapter per week, in two languages. It was my challenge at the time. It is what it is, but I do not want to erase it. I am attached to it.

However, due to a technical issue, I had to take it offline.
From this page, I will gradually republish this first draft, which forms the basis of my current rewrite.

Here are the five volumes I wrote back then. The accordions will be filled little by little, at my own pace.
