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 posted on April 13, 2016.) Every article of clothing that you own has a hidden weapon.  This makes doing laundry very difficult and it is not uncommon for a knife to get stuck in the lint trap.  Let’s not … Continue reading →

Poetry Day: The Superior Inferior

Posted on August 13, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

The Red Ape: Orangutan

Posted on August 9, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

(Another post from 2022.  I wasn’t doing animal facts at this point.  It was all about bringing attention to endangered animals and stirring people to research.) I’m enjoying these animals posts, so I figured I’d do another.  Today, I thought … Continue reading →

Goal Post: I’ll Remember A Title This Time

Posted on August 8, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz
