Core of the Champions: Sari

Posted on September 24, 2014 by Charles Yallowitz

Core of the Champions: Luke Callindor

Posted on September 22, 2014 by Charles Yallowitz

Hero Hypocrite: Do As He Says, Not As He Does

Posted on September 18, 2014 by Charles Yallowitz

This one might be quicker than the rest because I can’t think of any clear examples.  It mostly stems from a few responses I’ve gotten about my books and discussions I have had about heroes.  It seems there are readers … Continue reading →
