Hot story.  This could use another chapter.

Definitely another chapter. Perhaps titled 'Sharing'.

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.

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.

This series of stories needs to have a follow-up/continuation.

There is a concluding story planned, actually titled Tempest of the Flames.  It's even been started.

Just... don't expect to see it any time soon.

Donation Chart
Monthly Donations Target: $700
Received So Far This Month: $90
Received Last Month: $1063

Please Note: A $6 minimum donation is required before special access is given as a thank-you gift.

If you cannot, or do not wish to, use PayPal, but you still want to make a donation, you can use one of the methods below:

Why Donate?

You may be wondering why you should bother donating to some guy on the internet that you don't know.

I'm not going to lie: I don't really need donations to keep the site running. The site costs me less than $20 a month. Though donation money does go to pay those bills, the primary need is elsewhere.

I am disabled, and live on a fixed income. I also own an old house that is beginning to have "issues". The appliances inside the home also seem to want to break frequently.

On top of that, I live in a place prone to hurricanes, which not only means worrying about the house falling down every summer, I have to worry about being able to handle evacuations and things like that.

The point is, the donations aren't for the site. They're to keep me fed, clothed, and housed, and also allow me a little bit of discretionary spending, instead of having to watch every dime to make sure I don't go over budget that month.

So What Do I Get for Donating?

Not a goddamned thing. Let me be crystal clear: Making a donation does not entitle you to anything at all. Donations are a gift, not a payment for a service or product.

That being said, I do like to say thank you to those who support me. I usually do that by granting special access to the website. What does "special access" mean? Well, not a whole lot, but it means you have extra file formats to download stories in, and it also gives you access to "PRM" content.

What is PRM content? PRM stands for "Pre-Release Material". It is stuff that you are allowed to read before it goes public. How long before it goes public is up to each author that chooses to participate in the PRM system.

In conclusion, if you want to help keep me funded and happy, please make a donation by your preferred method of those listed above.

And thank you in advance.
