Friends Are Family

You never pick your family
But you always pick your friends
They are your chosen siblings
Brothers and sisters
Born from life’s adventures
Proving blood
Is not the final say in kin

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.
