Posted on July 27, 2015 by Charles Yallowitz

Posted on July 20, 2015 by Charles Yallowitz

I’ve been doing some thinking about heroes and their reputations.  Mostly how I work with them in my books.  I’ve always found it interesting when a character considers the long term affect of their adventures.  Even if they don’t think … Continue reading →
