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.

Ice Age Survivors

Posted on December 22, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

Two full weeks of break and I’m dragging myself into it.  Sort of.  By the time this post goes live, I’ve probably woken up and headed out to the mall for some walking before the shoppers arrive.  Might even get … Continue reading →
