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.

Origins: Yum-Tum Tavern

Every now and again, I want to write a fun story that has no real purpose.  No world-changing events or dastardly deeds.  Something to bring home the fact that real people live in Windemere.  I’m never sure if this is … Continue reading →

Sales Progress Report

So, as part of my experiments, I figured I should make a post-holiday report.  Though, this really wasn’t the best holiday to make a sale for.  That’s besides the point here. Only 4 copies of Bestiary of Blatherhorn Vale have … Continue reading →
