Revisit: Runaway Characters

Posted on July 16, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

First posted on January 9, 2013, I like how it was creating goblin society and dryad breeding practices that stirred this topic.  Not Kira Grasdon constantly forcing me to reevaluate her path or Queen Trinity shifting further away from true … Continue reading →

Teaser Tuesday: Enemies to the End

Posted on July 15, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

This is a scene from The Compass Key.  It’s one of my favorites because it stems from a crazy point of the original game.  I had a lot of trouble figuring out how to capture the emotions of Luke Callindor … Continue reading →

Teaser Tuesday: The Debut of the Baron

Posted on July 8, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

This is a big scene from Allure of the Gypsies because it’s where Baron Arthuru Kernaghan makes his debut.  Having a main villain trapped in one spot for the entire series was tough, but I think I made it work.  Peppering … Continue reading →

Teaser Tuesday: A Meeting Between Immortals

Posted on July 1, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

There really isn’t much to say about this one.  It’s an encounter I’ve been wanting to do since the first book.  In War of Nytefall: Savagery, we finally get to see a familiar face from Legends of Windemere make their presence known.

Posted on June 17, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

(A fun excerpt from Prodigy of Rainbow Tower.  Nice to put something with Fritz Warrenberg on the blog.) Luke smiles before vaulting over the railing to the deck below. He sees that Nimby and Fritz are already waiting on the escape … Continue reading →

Posted on June 3, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

(An old excerpt from Legends of Windemere: Allure of the Gypsies) The bakery at the entrance to Haven fills the air with the sweet aroma of fresh pastries. Aedyn can feel his mouth water as they pass the open door … Continue reading →

Questions 3: Monster Hunting?

Posted on May 28, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

Not sure where the picture above came from, but it worked for the original post idea.  I was going to do a ‘Ye Olde Safari Gear Shoppe’.  I couldn’t get the concept to work because going on a monster hunting … Continue reading →

Teaser Tuesday: Clash of the Chaotic Ones

Posted on May 27, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

In Legends of Windemere: The Merchant of Nevra Coil, I spent time highlighting Yola Biggs the Chaos goddess.  Prior to this, she was more in the background and staying with Baron Kernaghan.  That was the safest place considering she was a goddess … Continue reading →

Special Defenders in Fantasy Worlds

Posted on May 19, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

I thought about this concept when I watched ‘Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves’ and they brought up the Harpers.  This is a special group of people who protect the Forgotten Realms from various enemies.  They’re kind of political, but … Continue reading →
