Keys of Eden . . . The Basics

Posted on March 1, 2020 by Charles Yallowitz

Probably not the best idea to use that picture, but people are going to jump to the comparison anyway.  Keys of Eden is the story/series where the main character is going to be collecting 100 unique monsters.  Wow.  It’s really trippy that … Continue reading →

Legends Revisited: Baron Arthuru Kernaghan the Forgotten Warlord #fantasy #adventure

Posted on December 24, 2019 by Charles Yallowitz

While he didn’t show up a lot, the Legends of Windemere wouldn’t have gone anywhere without Baron Arthuru Kernaghan.  He typically only appeared in prologues with a few mid-book scenes until I reached the 12th book.  Even then, he only got a … Continue reading →

Revisiting Legends: Kira Grasdon the Tortured Soul #fantasy #adventure

Posted on December 17, 2019 by Charles Yallowitz

Within the pages of Legends of Windemere, one character will always stand out to me as the wild card.  The reason is because she was unexpected, but she also developed a really big love/hate relationship with readers.  Some seemed to hate … Continue reading →

Revisiting Legends: Trinity the Queen of Shayd #fantasy #adventure

Posted on December 10, 2019 by Charles Yallowitz

Where to even begin with Trinity?  Over the course of Legends of Windemere, she has worn the mask of a villain, hero, savior, tormentor, victim, friend, rival, and a few others.  I think she’s the most diverse one of the whole cast … Continue reading →

Revisiting Legends: Fizzle the Lovable Drite #fantasy #adventure

Posted on December 3, 2019 by Charles Yallowitz

Fizzle is probably the most popular character of Legends of Windemere.  He isn’t a champion, but he might as well be in the eyes of some readers.  It reached a point where I was getting requests for a Fizzle book.  This … Continue reading →

Posted on December 1, 2019 by Charles Yallowitz

I bring this thing up a lot because I keep wanting to figure out how it will work and always come close.  Then, I wander off because of more urgent projects.  At this point, it feels silly to give the … Continue reading →

Revisiting Legends: Dariana the Tormented Immortal #fantasy #adventure

Posted on November 26, 2019 by Charles Yallowitz

The last of the champions from Legends of Windemere is one of the more complicated ones.  Dariana comes from a different place than the others because of her immortality, which isn’t as great as one would think.  I’ll get into that … Continue reading →

Revisiting Legends: Delvin Cunningham the Subtle Warrior #fantasy #adventure

Posted on November 19, 2019 by Charles Yallowitz

In the initial planning of Legends of Windemere, I didn’t have anything special for Delvin Cunningham.  He grew into the tactical leader of the champions, the secondary peacemaker, and the kind of romantic interest of Nyx.  This was unfortunate because he … Continue reading →
