Tempest of the Flames Volume 3: Fire Storm

Tempest of the Flames Volume 3: Fire Storm

Months after the death of his father and uncle, Tom also faces the death of his aunt at her own hands.  More importantly, Tom and his mother, who have been living as man and wife for months, now must take in Tom's cousin, Tanya.

Tanya's attempts to deal with her problems don't go well.  Will Tom and Carol be able to help her through things, or will she spiral into the same dark place as her mother?

Hot story.  This could use another chapter.

Definitely another chapter. Perhaps titled 'Sharing'.

Re: Tempest of the Flames Volume 3: Fire Storm

They're not chapters, they're individual short stories, but yes, there is one final one left.  It will, in fact, be titled "Tempest of the Flames".

No, I have not written volume 4 yet.  If I had, it would be here.

I would think Tanya's mother would have received a settlement from the oil company.  She would have inherited after her mothers death/suicide.  Might provide more guts to the next short story.

Re: Tempest of the Flames Volume 3: Fire Storm

Well, there's a couple points to that.

First, remember that the first amount offered to Tom and his mother was pretty pitiful.  If they had contacted Tanya's mother at the same time, she might have taken the smaller amount.  This would leave some, but not a huge amount, after paying off debts and taxes and what-have-you.

Second, even if there was a millions-of-dollars inheritance, it is very likely the mother would have had a trust set up so that the daughter received an annuity payment, and not the entire amount.  She would know her daughter well enough to know she was incapable of handling a sum that large.
