Posted on March 9, 2021 by Charles Yallowitz

Quest of the Brokenhearted is what one would call a spin-off.  This story shows what happened to Kira Grasdon after the battle with Baron Kernaghan.  She grew from a one-scene character that I created on a whim to a central figure … Continue reading →

Character Theme of . . . Bob

Posted on February 28, 2014 by Charles Yallowitz

This is going to be an odd character theme to bring up because Bob hasn’t shown up in the series yet.  The character’s name isn’t even Bob.  I’ve hinted at Bob because Bob holds a special place among the villains.  … Continue reading →
