Flames of Fate And Other Fateful Tales is a compilation of fourteen short stories with a common theme. Each tale illustrates the interaction between human intentions and that most fickle of ungraspable things - fate.

Sometimes fate intervenes for the better creating good out of a potential disaster, but all too often it does so to create mayhem or tragedy. In these very human stories the impact of fate comes as an unexpected consequence - often only revealed in the final few words.

Herein is collection of twelve very different short stories, each in its own way illustrating the ability of our old friend Fate to interfere with the best-laid plans that we humans can devise-sometimes for the good, and sometimes for the disastrously bad.
