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.

Air Rods or Sky Fish

Posted on October 21, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

Goal Post: Progress in the Cold and Darkness

Posted on October 19, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

This week didn’t go exactly as planned and I partially blame the weather.  It got cold about halfway through and the sun is going down earlier.  Makes it hard to take walks for exercise, relaxation, solitude, and Pokemon Go.  This … Continue reading →

The Snoligoster: This Isn’t a Repeat

Posted on October 18, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

I wasn’t going to do this one later, but realized it has a connection to the Snallygaster.  Not only similar names, but the connection to racism.  Although, this one comes from the swamps of Florida, Georgia, and Louisiana instead of … Continue reading →

Poetry Day: Mind’s Eye

Posted on October 17, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

(Not 100% sure where I was going here.  Possibly about how we examine and interpret the world through our own senses and mind.  Yet, we can run into people who view things differently.  Do we all share the same reality … Continue reading →

The Snallygaster of Maryland

Posted on October 16, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

Definitely enjoying the odd names on a lot of these creatures.  This one really caught my eye.  I mean, Snallygaster sounds like something out of a Monty Python sketch or Dr Suess book.  Yet, it’s not.  So, what is it? … Continue reading →

Teaser Tuesday: We Swear It Is NOT An Evil Tree

Posted on October 15, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

For some reason, the original teaser post I had for today disappeared.  Glad I checked.  I decided to re-post this one that involves Darwin and Arlinger.  Hopefully it makes sense without all the context, but it was always one of … Continue reading →
