Teaser Tuesday: To The Tower

Posted on July 7, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

Good time to show off a little bit of the action in War of Nytefall: Savagery.  With there being so many puzzles for Clyde to solve, it’s really tough to find a non-spoiler part to share.  So, have fun this … Continue reading →

Fun With Food In Fiction

Posted on July 3, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

(Originally posted on June 9, 2014.) One thing I’ve seen brought up a lot when it comes to adventure fantasy is: what and when do the characters eat?  Oddly enough, you don’t see meals that often and the heroes never … Continue reading →

Here’s another teaser from Charms of the Feykin.  I loved writing this orchard scene because it was so vivid in my mind.

Poetry Day: The Phiocrytes

Posted on June 25, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

(Guess I had a lot of fantasy poems in the ‘T’ section.) They live in fear In the jungles of Serdune Thriving on the floor Among the moldy leaves Always with their tall eye Scanning the limbs above   Thousands … Continue reading →

Teaser Tuesday: Blowing Off Steam

Posted on June 23, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

Another character who had limited page time until the end was Baron Arthuru Kernaghan.  This was a fun scene from Charms of the Feykin, which allowed me to give me more to do than glower and shout orders.

Teaser Tuesday: Mother and Daughter

Posted on June 16, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

Here’s a teaser from Warlord of the Forgotten Age and I think it might be the only time Dariana and Zaria interact.  At least, this was the most memorable encounter between the mother and daughter.

Teaser Tuesday: Inner Conference

Posted on June 9, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

(I have to be honest.  It took me a few minutes to remember where this showed up in the series.  Back when I first posted this teaser, I put up a different cover than what should have been there.  I’m … Continue reading →

Poetry Day: The Marchers of Vindervurld

Posted on June 4, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

(Another fantastical creation.  Kind of sad too.) Upon the marshy hollows Their feet make a sucking plop As purest mud Grabs at their boots That are moldy to the laces Beings of all sizes March in a sturdy mob Fat … Continue reading →
