Grabbing from the Notebooks: Phi Beta . . . Files?

Posted on May 3, 2020 by Charles Yallowitz

Figure I can use Sundays to present future ideas that I haven’t fully fleshed out.  Helps to write stuff out, especially those that I carried from other worlds to Windemere.  This one is like that, which you can tell from … Continue reading →

Posted on March 15, 2020 by Charles Yallowitz

I was trying to think of something to write about and I had a run of bad luck.  Every time I had an idea, I was pulled away and forgot it.  So, I finally sat down and began to wonder … Continue reading →

Check on the Idea Stockpile

Posted on September 15, 2019 by Charles Yallowitz

(Okay.  I moved this from September 1st to the 15th because I forgot about all of the October post stuff I had set up.  Sorry about any confusion.) About a week and a half ago, I was talking to someone … Continue reading →

Where Did My Titles Come From? #fantasy #dystopia #vampires

Posted on April 21, 2019 by Charles Yallowitz

So, I was asked to make a post about the origin of my book titles.  I have done this a little, but not in depth.  Then, I realized that I’m not that subtle when it comes to these things.  I … Continue reading →

A Hint of Good in the Bad

Posted on September 25, 2017 by Charles Yallowitz

A major point of Path of the Traitors is that some of the villains in Legends of Windemere are not entirely evil.  They have a chance at redemption and even some positive qualities.  While not every villain is in this story, I’m … Continue reading →

Luke & Nyx: Little Brother and Big Sister

Posted on April 7, 2017 by Charles Yallowitz

They fought in their first encounter and didn’t get off on the right foot.  Yet, you wouldn’t know from how they act now.  There is the love Luke has toward Sari and Kira and then there’s the love he has … Continue reading →

Luke, Delvin, Timoran, & Dariana: Friends and Family in Arms

Posted on April 6, 2017 by Charles Yallowitz

I hate to sound like I’m underplaying these relationships, but they aren’t of the same scale as the previous ones.  Luke Callindor does have a close connection with Timoran Wrath, Delvin Cunningham, and Dariana.  They are close friends and have … Continue reading →

Luke & Kira: Hearts Bound and Battered

Posted on April 5, 2017 by Charles Yallowitz

These two have certainly gone through the ringer and left bruises, which is odd since Kira doesn’t always show up in a book.  She didn’t start making a more common appearance until after Sleeper of the Wildwood Fugue.  Prior to that … Continue reading →
