Well, War of Nytefall: Eradication has been out for a while and it means I have to look to the future.  Wow . . . Those clouds are pretty dark.  Is that a clown waving a blood-soaked weed whacker around?  Okay, there … Continue reading →

Legends Revisited: Baron Arthuru Kernaghan the Forgotten Warlord #fantasy #adventure

Posted on December 24, 2019 by Charles Yallowitz

While he didn’t show up a lot, the Legends of Windemere wouldn’t have gone anywhere without Baron Arthuru Kernaghan.  He typically only appeared in prologues with a few mid-book scenes until I reached the 12th book.  Even then, he only got a … Continue reading →

Revisiting Legends: Kira Grasdon the Tortured Soul #fantasy #adventure

Posted on December 17, 2019 by Charles Yallowitz

Within the pages of Legends of Windemere, one character will always stand out to me as the wild card.  The reason is because she was unexpected, but she also developed a really big love/hate relationship with readers.  Some seemed to hate … Continue reading →

Revisiting Legends: Trinity the Queen of Shayd #fantasy #adventure

Posted on December 10, 2019 by Charles Yallowitz

Where to even begin with Trinity?  Over the course of Legends of Windemere, she has worn the mask of a villain, hero, savior, tormentor, victim, friend, rival, and a few others.  I think she’s the most diverse one of the whole cast … Continue reading →

Revisiting Legends: Fizzle the Lovable Drite #fantasy #adventure

Posted on December 3, 2019 by Charles Yallowitz

Fizzle is probably the most popular character of Legends of Windemere.  He isn’t a champion, but he might as well be in the eyes of some readers.  It reached a point where I was getting requests for a Fizzle book.  This … Continue reading →

Revisiting Legends: Dariana the Tormented Immortal #fantasy #adventure

Posted on November 26, 2019 by Charles Yallowitz

The last of the champions from Legends of Windemere is one of the more complicated ones.  Dariana comes from a different place than the others because of her immortality, which isn’t as great as one would think.  I’ll get into that … Continue reading →

Revisiting Legends: Delvin Cunningham the Subtle Warrior #fantasy #adventure

Posted on November 19, 2019 by Charles Yallowitz

In the initial planning of Legends of Windemere, I didn’t have anything special for Delvin Cunningham.  He grew into the tactical leader of the champions, the secondary peacemaker, and the kind of romantic interest of Nyx.  This was unfortunate because he … Continue reading →

Revisiting Legends: Timoran Wrath the Noble Barbarian #fantasy #adventure

Posted on November 12, 2019 by Charles Yallowitz

This might be a shorter post than the others.  Within the pages of Legends of Windemere, Timoran Wrath stands out at being the most stable character.  He doesn’t change much over the course of the adventure in terms of personality.  There … Continue reading →

Revisiting Legends: Sari the Soul Scarred Gypsy #fantasy #adventure

Posted on November 5, 2019 by Charles Yallowitz

Sari entered Legends of Windemere with a vicious impact.  She comes from a nomadic people who are called gypsies.  This is the fantasy version where they are almost thief-like, but I never got far into the culture.  Mostly because Sari clan … Continue reading →

Revisiting Legends: Nyx the Willful Caster #fantasy #adventure

Posted on October 29, 2019 by Charles Yallowitz

In Legends of Windemere, people are introduced to one who we could consider the female lead.  Nyx debuts in the second book (Prodigy of Rainbow Tower) for a few reasons.  One is that she is a caster (Windemere term for wizard), … Continue reading →
