About Charles Yallowitz
Charles E. Yallowitz was born, raised, and educated in New York. Then he spent a few years in Florida, realized his fear of alligators, and moved back to the Empire State. When he isn't working hard on his epic fantasy stories, Charles can be found cooking or going on whatever adventure his son has planned for the day. 'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.
I have the original Nintendo with Mario Cart. Lots of fun.

Classic. I have an original Nintendo here, but it was my wife’s. All she has is Super Mario 3, Darkwing Duck (very cool), and a Barbie game. Some others that I forget.

Thanks. Unfortunately, the friend who was going to illustrate dropped out. He helped write them too, so it’s one of those projects where I don’t feel right getting a replacement.

They don’t even NEED illustrations. I’m very sad to hear that though.

With these poems, I think they do. Part of the idea was that there was a hidden 101st poem. Each letter of the poem was hidden in the illustrations.

That is seriously just . . . SO cool. Was there a reasoning behind the dropping out? Because I am bummed.

He lost his muse and has been unable to get it back.
