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.

Originally, I was going to do a ‘Ye Olde Shoppe’ for this, but then I realized how interesting dreamcatchers are.  I used to have a small one as well as a large mandala having over my bed between graduating college … Continue reading →

Questions 3: Reading Silently vs Reading Aloud

Posted on February 4, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

Any type of reading is good, so it’s weird that I ran into a debate.  The argument was if reading aloud or silently was better.  Both sides had good points, but I still didn’t understand why there was any disagreement.  … Continue reading →

Another Groundhog Day

Posted on February 2, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

It’s the day of the year where we pay attention to a rodent who is rudely awakened from his nap to do a job.  Pretty sure we can all relate to that feeling.  No wonder the groundhogs never look happy.

Goal Post: Freezing And Frantic

Posted on January 31, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

Okay, not really frantic, but I am stressed.  We had a snow day on Monday due to Sunday’s blizzard.  Lots of shoveling and resultant aching of the body.  Nothing says fun like clearing the driveway and then a plow comes … Continue reading →
