Posted on July 12, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

Beginning of a Hero finally fell into the 100,000 ranking area, which I’m shrugging off.  Can’t figure out how one 1 book sale can launch me into the 20,000 area while a 3 book sale day only puts me in … Continue reading →

Unlimited Ammo and One-Handed Greatswords? (Part 1 of a Series)

Posted on July 10, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

We’ve all seen or read about it.  An 8-shot revolver having 10 bullets?  An enormous sword being wielded by a slender warrior?  Standing a few feet away from an explosion and not getting touched?  These can be great scenes and … Continue reading →
