Work in Progress: Footsteps . . . Maybe

Posted on January 18, 2014 by Charles Yallowitz

One difficult thing with writing series is that it’s really hard to let characters go.  I dread the end of Legends of Windemere because I’ll feel a little lost without Luke, Nyx, and the others.  They’ll be done and usable … Continue reading →

Love Life of Luke (Possible Spoilers)

Posted on January 8, 2014 by Charles Yallowitz

First, it’s really hard to find a picture depicting a love triangle that isn’t a picture of Twilight.  I was lucky to stumble onto this one, which is more of a square. For those that don’t know it’s Spider-Man who … Continue reading →

Character Origins: John Chandler

Posted on December 7, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

Months ago, I posted about an idea called The Ninja Never Wins.  Briefly, this was a series of books that spoof fighting games.  Strange fighters with bizarre, over the top backgrounds in tournaments that seem to have no real purpose.  … Continue reading →

Early on in Legends of Windemere: Allure of the Gypsies, new villains are introduced.  All of them are allies of the Lich and are on equal footing with him, but they tend to stay more to the shadows.  All of … Continue reading →
