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.

Teaser Tuesday: Treetop Tussle

Posted on October 20, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

Is this the biggest scene of War of Nytefall: Eradication?  No.  Is this a major plot point that will reveal all?  No.  Will it be a lot of fun to read?  That’s the plan.  It’s Monster vs Monster this time.

Posted on October 17, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz
