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.

Monster Month: Kurage-No-Hinotama

Posted on October 18, 2023 by Charles Yallowitz

I debated giving a day to this monster, but I really liked the concept.  Unfortunately, I couldn’t find much in the way of lore.  It definitely stems from Japanese mythology and seems to be a yokai.  Yet, I found more … Continue reading →
