Teaser Tuesday: Mercenary Prince vs Tribe Baron #fantasy #adventure

Posted on June 11, 2019 by Charles Yallowitz

The Compass Key managed to get a vote and I was surprised how little I’d done teasers for it.  Part of the reason for this is because it’s a big transition book during the Legends of Windemere series.  I wanted to … Continue reading →

Teaser Tuesday: Fanged Words of Wisdom #vampires #fantasy

Posted on May 14, 2019 by Charles Yallowitz

Here’s another excerpt from War of Nytefall: Rivalry.  It’s a very low key scene, but it involves Decker who doesn’t get a lot of page time.  I feel bad that I don’t use him as much as I want.  He was … Continue reading →
