A genuine, heartfelt welcome to everyone who has wandered over to my corner of the internet. I am Charles Edward Yallowitz and this is my author blog/website. It is here that I will be posting sections of my books, personal musings, updates for future products, and updates for available products. Here you can get a taste of the world that I have created and then move on to the e-book store of your choice to continue your journey into my realm.
A more serious origin for me is that I have always wanted to be a writer. To be more specific, I always wanted to be a storyteller. I am happiest when I am entertaining people with the stories that are in my head. When I went to college, it was to learn how to be an author. I went to classes and did the good student thing, but this is also where Windemere came into being. I joined a Dungeons & Dragons game where I created Luke Callindor and eventually got the idea of turning these adventures into a series. All the other players gave me their blessings and then the game promptly died before we had any conclusions to the story. Yet, the seed was planted and I began testing story characters in other games, which allowed Windemere to grow into this amazing fictional world. Even today, I am surprised how this world has grown by absorbing my interests and knowledge.
This is where my path has taken me to. I am on the verge of publishing the first three books of Legends of Windemere, which will introduce readers to the world. As I said, I love telling a good story, so my focus is almost entirely on character evolution and character relations. So, I use more dialog and character reactions than other fantasy-based stories. I have been told many times that reading my stories is like reading a movie, which these people assure me is a good thing.
More of my style, world, and characters will be discussed in detail throughout the posts on this site. As for a posting schedule, here it is:
Monday- Post a section of one of my books. These will be posted in order, so Legends of Windemere: Beginning of a Hero Prologue Part 1 will be appearing on Monday.
Wednesday- A personal blog post that gives you insight into my mind. This can be my thoughts on something in the writing world, personal philosophies, or if a current event perks and peaks my interest. Also, if (down the road) I get a fan question that fits into this category, it will turn up here.
Friday- Updates on what I am working on and stories about how certain characters or places came to be. If I get a lot of fan questions (again, down the road) then I’ll be posting a Youtube Video where I answer them personally. Unfortunately, this means people would have to look at my ugly mug, but why should my wife be the only one to suffer.
So, again I give a friendly hello to everyone who enters and hope you enjoy the site when I start the book postings on Monday.

Did you ever do a Youtube video answering questions Charles? Is that something that is still on the cards? It seems like an interesting idea.

I’ve thought about it, but I never had enough questions to do much. I also haven’t figured out where the charger for my digital camcorder went. I’m still putting that on a future project status.

I should have more, but continually run out of room. If I keep them all I’ll look like an old hoarder.

I think people can get away with it when it comes to books. One can accept that a person has read the books or has a use for them.
