Revisit: What Do You Look For In Romance?

Posted on September 29, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

(Originally posted on August 2, 2013.  Have at it.) This is not my genre and I barely get it to function in my own books.  I think.  I’ve glossed over romance, but I think I gravitate toward lust or awkward … Continue reading →

Revisit: What Do You Look For In Flashbacks?

Posted on September 26, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

(Originally posted on August 23, 2013.  Being an author of third person present tense, I really can’t use these.  They would be clunky and emersion shattering.  In general, I don’t like using them very often because they require a mental … Continue reading →

Revisit: What Do You Look For In Fictional Pets?

Posted on September 24, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

(Originally posted on September 9, 2013.  We really don’t pay much attention to the pets of heroes unless they overshadow the other characters.  It’s not enough for them to be present and kind of active anymore.  They almost have to … Continue reading →

Revisit: What Do You Look For in a Third Book of a Series?

Posted on September 19, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

(Originally posted December 3, 2013.  Couldn’t resist putting this one after the one about a sequel.  This post had more meat to it since I was promoting Allure of the Gypsies for it’s debut.) So, here I am sitting around … Continue reading →

Revisit: What Do You Look For in a Sequel?

Posted on September 17, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

(Originally posted July 30, 2013.  I really wasn’t giving any breaks between posts back then, which is a shame.  I should have spread these out.  It looks like I did these posts to promote Prodigy of Rainbow Tower.  So, they’re geared … Continue reading →

Teaser Tuesday: Irritating Pest

Posted on September 16, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

(A small part of the final battle, which shows the Baron in some type of action.  I really didn’t use a lot of teasers with him fighting.  Read the rest of Warlord of the Forgotten Age for 99 cents!) A shadow … Continue reading →

Revisit: What Do You Look For in Demons?

Posted on September 15, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

(Originally posted on July 26, 2013.  Pretty much self-explanatory since I played with demons all the time in my stories.) Traditionally, demons are the bad guys.  The monsters and eaters of human.  There has been a slight change with characters … Continue reading →

Revisit: What Do You Look For in Magic?

Posted on September 10, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

(Originally posted on July 24, 2013.  My thoughts did change a bit on this one.  Mostly, I’m better about spells being broken or misfired by a sneeze or distraction.  Still not a fan of it happening a lot.  It really … Continue reading →

Revisit: What Do You Look For In Character Evolution?

Posted on September 8, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

(Originally posted on July 25, 2013.  Not exactly the evolution about since we’re talking more mental and emotional than physical.  Realizing that many of these are kind of short too.  Guess it’s from a time when I had more activity … Continue reading →
