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.

Posted on February 14, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

I’m going by the View counter and the Likes showing up, but I’ve noticed a lot of activity on ‘Catalysts: Despair Part 3’.  I hope people are remembering to read ‘Catalysts: Despair Part 2’ because I don’t think Part 3 … Continue reading →

Valentine’s Day: Message to the Lovers and Haters (Some Cursing)

Posted on February 14, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

(Controversial personal opinion ahead!  You’ve been warned!) I never really got into this holiday even when I got a girlfriend/wife.  Prior to the girlfriend/wife, I simply didn’t care. After the girlfriend/wife entered the scene, I realized something: I STILL didn’t … Continue reading →

In Memory of Clear Nonsense

Posted on February 13, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz
