Revisit: What Do You Look For In A Funny Villain?

Posted on September 22, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

(Originally posted on August 16, 2013.  This is different than a standard villain question and I guess this gears more towards stories aimed at children.  Kind of a shame because I think adults deserve more comical bad guys.) Now, we’ve … Continue reading →

Goal Post: Allergies Won’t Stop This Auth . . . Seamstress?

Posted on September 20, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

I feel a little foolish here.  After going on about how I was going to get chapter 3 of Darwin & the Joy Path done this weekend, I realized on Thursday that I should probably focus on something else.  I’m also writing … Continue reading →

Posted on September 19, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

(Originally posted December 3, 2013.  Couldn’t resist putting this one after the one about a sequel.  This post had more meat to it since I was promoting Allure of the Gypsies for it’s debut.) So, here I am sitting around … Continue reading →

Poetry Day: Society of Absent Parents

Posted on September 18, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

(This one hits home since I work in a school.  I know there are parents who simply don’t try to be there for their kids.  Yet, I feel like the majority are those who wish they could be there, but … Continue reading →

Revisit: What Do You Look For in a Sequel?

Posted on September 17, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

(Originally posted July 30, 2013.  I really wasn’t giving any breaks between posts back then, which is a shame.  I should have spread these out.  It looks like I did these posts to promote Prodigy of Rainbow Tower.  So, they’re geared … Continue reading →

Teaser Tuesday: Irritating Pest

Posted on September 16, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

(A small part of the final battle, which shows the Baron in some type of action.  I really didn’t use a lot of teasers with him fighting.  Read the rest of Warlord of the Forgotten Age for 99 cents!) A shadow … Continue reading →

Revisit: What Do You Look For in Demons?

Posted on September 15, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

(Originally posted on July 26, 2013.  Pretty much self-explanatory since I played with demons all the time in my stories.) Traditionally, demons are the bad guys.  The monsters and eaters of human.  There has been a slight change with characters … Continue reading →

Goal Post: One Chapter Down . . . That’s It

Posted on September 13, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

The title says it all.  I did manager to write chapter 2 of Darwin & the Joy Path.  A secret didn’t last long because I realized how honest some characters are.  Still, I got the action going and kind of got … Continue reading →

Revisit: What Do You Look For in a Villain?

Posted on September 12, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

(Originally posted on July 29, 2013.  I still stand by this, but I definitely wrote the post before I every put Stephen Kernaghan on paper.  He kind of stands out as the true monster of my villain gallery.  Pretty sure … Continue reading →

Poetry Day: Slamming Doors

Posted on September 11, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

(I was iffy on posting this considering it’s 9/11, but maybe this can have some connection.  To be fair, this day doesn’t get as much special attention as it once did.  I guess it’s fallen into history like Pearl Harbor.  … Continue reading →
