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.

Beauties and Beasts

Opposites in nature Attracted to their cores The genders Like night and day Differences dueling In an endless dance Where one is nothing Without the other   Hairy beasts With eyes composed of want Ready for action To impress the … Continue reading →

Fizzle

This is a character that I cannot take a lot of credit for.  Fizzle was created by Mike (gamemaster of the game that the series is based on) and the character remains very similar to his original form.  In the … Continue reading →
