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.

Windemere Monsters: The Trolls

Posted on October 12, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

What would a fantasy world be without trolls to drive terror into the hearts of adventures at least once?  Obviously, you can do this, but I was picking from the classics early on and trolls were top of the list.  … Continue reading →

Posted on October 10, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

Who really knows how many Doppelgangers have appeared in the Legends of Windemere series?  Not many because revealing several main characters have been copies of the originals for most of the adventure is stupid.  I mean, could you imagine being … Continue reading →

Windemere Monsters: Roc

Posted on October 7, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

(I keep wanting to make some variants of the roc. I feel like there’s a lot of variation that can be done with giant eagles in general. Though, going too far would lose the point.) Rocs are incredibly common fantasy … Continue reading →
