So, I thought I’d just put something simple up for today and keep it a sticky until the next morning. I have a lot on my plate in the next few days that might take me away more than I’d like. Anyway, I’ll be doing another Ichabod story on the blog next year and thought I’d reveal my crop of tales. No details or context. Just the part that comes after ‘and the’:
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 did the first poll a week before I came up with the second. I might have the top short story get put up on the blog because it could take a year to get the collection ready to go. This way there will still be a 2017 Ichabod story.
I think Ichabod is my favorite of all your stuff. I understand and like the guy. I’m excited that he’s coming back around. I would absolutely publish something. The bigger the catalog the better.
I’ll need to figure out how many stories unless I just do them all. Each one tends to be 30-35 pages, so 10-12 stories doesn’t seem so bad. A collection can definitely be a large tome.
Or do more than one tome. First one fuels interest in the second one, etc. I fell into that by accident with Experimental Notebooks. I’m sure there will be a third one someday. Just pick an overall name you can recycle. The ongoing saga of Ichabod Brooks, or something.
It’ll be interesting. Gives me a good reason to keep writing them between bigger projects. Might add the one from last year in there too. Need to think a City of Beasts.
Thanks. Fingers crossed that I make it. Think I might jot down the choices people made on this poll and grab the Ichabod notebook instead of the one I was going to. Doesn’t hurt to do preliminary outlines now when I have the time.
So, were we voting on the stories that would be published in a collection?

Okay. I had voted for several, so that’s why I wondered.

No problem. Think it gave me 11 stories to use and then there’s Starwind Egg.

Adventures of Ichabod Brooks right now. His first story is still around for 99 cents so that can be an intro. Have enough stories for two though.

Good job. I hope the published series response wins
