Anyone who visits my blog will certainly know my good friend and successful Indie author, Charles E. Yallowitz. You probably remember him from his recent guest post, What I’ve Learned or my author feature.

Well, Charles recently finished a short story called Ichabod Brooks & the City of Beasts. Even better, he entrusted me with beta-reading it, and I’m pleased to report that the story is every bit as awesome as the cover!

The best news, however, is that it’s coming on June 1st for 99 cents!

For now, we have to make do with the story’s stunning cover, by the very talented Nio Mendoza.

What is Ichabod Brooks & the City of Beasts?

In a time of heroes, a man will take any job to provide for his family.
Ichabod Brooks has earned a reputation for taking the jobs most men and women fear to challenge. This reputation has brought him to the charred remains of a small village nestled within the hills and forest of Ralian. The ruins are a source of strange monsters that terrorize the countryside and repeatedly elude the local guards and hunters. The few brave souls who have entered the creatures’ lair have yet to come out alive or dead.

The chances of survival are slim, but that generous payment is too much for Ichabod to resist. After all, a man and his family have to eat.

Who is Charles, you say?

From the blog of Nicholas C. Rossis, author of science fiction, the Pearseus epic fantasy series and children's booksCharles E. Yallowitz was born, raised, and educated in New York. Then he spent a few years in Florida, realized his fear of alligators, and moved back to the Empire State.

When he isn’t working hard on his epic fantasy stories, Charles can be found cooking or going on whatever adventure his son has planned for the day.

‘Legends of Windemere’ is his first series, but it certainly won’t be his last.
