Allure Final CoverLegends of Windemere: Allure of the Gypsies has Arrived!!!

My review of the book:
I thoroughly enjoyed Allure of the Gypsies. I’ve read the first two books of the series and continue to find the author creating great new characters and continuing to build my understanding of the existing characters.

Let’s talk about action. The author creates interesting action sequences with believable use of fantasy elements. He is very creative. There are also good sections where the characters stretch out and we get to know them better.

This is the third book in a great series. If you like fantasy and enjoy good realistic character development, then this is a series for you.

Book Blurb:
The epic adventures of Luke Callindor and Nyx continue after their journey down the L’Dandrin River in Legends of Windemere: Prodigy of Rainbow Tower.

Reeling from his failures in their previous adventure, Luke leads his surviving friends to his hometown. With his mind frayed and his confidence fractured, Luke must face the family and fiancée he left behind. It is a brief homecoming when the vampire Kalam attacks the village, forcing Luke and Nyx to break into his lair for the key to resurrecting a fallen warrior. It is a quest that will force both young heroes to reach new heights of strength and power that they never knew they had.

Can Luke and Nyx escape the lair of Kalam? And, what role will the orphaned gypsy Sari play in their looming destiny?

Wondering what you’re in for? Check out the praise earned by the first two
installments of this high fantasy series.

wattpad beginningReview Excerpts for Legends of Windemere: Beginning of a Hero:

“I greatly enjoyed the vivid characters, the gripping plot, and the refreshingly unique writing style (present tense). ” – kdillmanjones

“This is a sophisticated and delightful read. I recommend this book to lovers of Fantasy or to General Fiction readers. The story is compelling enough to entertain a wide audience.” – John Howell

“One of the things that won me over was the bouts of humor. Especially in the beginning. “This is not possible! I am a Paladin!” I thought I was going to die with delight.” – C.N. Faust

rsz_prodigy_cover_finalReview Excerpts for Legends of Windemere: Prodigy of Rainbow Tower:

“Something I find unique about this fantasy novel that I don’t often find in others, is that the hero, Luke Callindor is rather of the unlucky variety. He does not get everything he asks for, he stumbles, falls, gets knocked down (literally)and taught lessons as he goes. This is helping him to grow into the hero that was promised in the first book.” – Ionia Martin

“Nyx is such a strong personality. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her and more of the other characters, new and already known, with the rich tapestry of Windemere unfolding in between intense actions scenes and moments of kindness and budding friendships.” – Danielle Taylor

“Almost like the Harry Potter series. The books start out so young and innocent, but by the last book – watch out!” — Momto4Booklover

Charles author photo B&WAuthor Biography:
Charles Yallowitz was born and raised on Long Island, NY, but he has spent most of his life wandering his own imagination in a blissful haze. Occasionally, he would return from this world for the necessities such as food, showers, and Saturday morning cartoons. One day he returned from his imagination and decided he would share his stories with the world. After his wife decided that she was tired of hearing the same stories repeatedly, she convinced him that it would make more sense to follow his dream of being a fantasy author. So, locked within the house under orders to shut up and get to work, Charles brings you Legends of Windemere. He looks forward to sharing all of his stories with you and his wife is happy he finally has someone else to play with.

Fantastic wp Epic Fantasy author, interviewed

Gwen Bristol

In a recent post, epic fantasy author Charles Yallowitz described how his book sales are continuing even though he’s slipping out of the top 100 list rankings.

I’ve been watching his book, Beginning of a Hero, which he’s had quite a bit of success with. As of writing this post, his book is ranked #1,688 Paid in Kindle Store. He’s also ranked #37 in the Kindle Store for literature and fiction: epic fantasy, #44 for action and adventure, and #50 for science fiction and fantasy: epic fantasy. While these ranks may be slightly lower today than they were yesterday, what I’ve been most impressed with is how consistent the high rankings and decent sales have been for this book. I don’t think that happens to many debut authors.

Of course I had to ask about it, and Charles Yallowitz graciously agreed to a blog interview. Here it is:
