Poetry Day: Species of Fools

Posted on October 23, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

Poetry Day: Skudger

Posted on October 16, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

(Yeah . . . I got nothing on this one either.  Maybe the komodo dragon? Only because of the poison then waiting for the prey to drop tactic.) Dweller in the muck Deep beneath the waves The Skudger wanders Following … Continue reading →

So, I realized I forgot to schedule a holiday, animal, or any type of post for today and next Sunday.  Found a note under my desk reminding me to find a Halloween-like animal post, but clearly I forgot.  I might … Continue reading →

Goal Post: Writing On The Back-Burner

Posted on October 11, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

Hate to admit that I wasn’t able to get any writing done once the week started.  Finished chapter 4 of Darwin & the Joy Path and that was it.  I had hoped to start on chapter 5, especially after things took … Continue reading →

Teaser Tuesday: Magic in the Mess Hall

Posted on September 30, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

(A laidback blast from the distant past.  Remember, Beginning of a Hero is a free eBook!) Fizzle’s bump-like horns perk up and he sniffs the air, his tail whipping in excitement. He looks around, his bright eyes falling on Selenia, who … Continue reading →

Revisit: What Do You Look For In Romance?

Posted on September 29, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

(Originally posted on August 2, 2013.  Have at it.) This is not my genre and I barely get it to function in my own books.  I think.  I’ve glossed over romance, but I think I gravitate toward lust or awkward … Continue reading →
