#EBookGifts

  Today we're promoting small press books with the hashtag #EBook Gifts. This is the time of year when people are thinking about presents for the holiday season. Books are always a good suggestion for gifts, and ebooks are even better. Want to find affordable gifts? Ebooks can often be much more affordable than paperbacks or hardcover books. Or maybe you're looking for presents that don't take up a lot of space. Hardcover books are hard to carry when travelling for the holidays, and collecting an entire series of paperback novels can take up a lot of room on a bookshelf! In that case, ebooks can be carried on your phone or tablet or laptop computer, or saved in your subscription to your favourite online vendor. If you're a fan of books but have mostly read what's available at news stands or at the front shelves of a bookstore, try looking for books from a small press. You might be amazed at the work of authors who are new-to-you; the cover art for small press books ...

The hashtag #EBookGifts on Social Media

 November is a time of year when people start thinking ahead to the holiday season and planning for gifts. Ebooks are very practical gifts! There's no wrapping paper to wrap properly or recycle afterwards. With ebooks on phones and tablets and computers, there's always something good to read right at hand. There are ebooks on every topic and to suit every reader's taste. The downloads happen right away, so there's no waiting for delivery. There are many online vendors and even Bookshop.org which will let you buy books and ebooks online with that purchase going through a local bookstore that you choose.   Author Celu Amberstone and Kashallan Press are making plans for a small press book event with other authors and publishers. On Saturday, November 22 we'll all be promoting our ebooks on social media with the hashtag #EBookGifts.

Spooky Season Stories!

It's great to be part of the Spooky Stories event on Kobo in October. During this month, look for Refugees And Other Stories , Celu Amberstone's collection, to be available as a 99 cent ebook. This is the book we've been promoting this fall to college and university students of literature, telling them to look at their course readings and ask the professor about Indigenous writing -- and then give them a copy of Refugees And Other Stories . Looking at the promo image above, the photo of the cave seemed very appropriate because CAVES are featured in several of these stories!

Trending on some platforms!

 Why are books from Kashallan Press available from so many online vendors? Lots of reasons! Online vendors are a great way to get copies of ebooks (and print books). Some vendors curate a selection of books, some carry as many books as they find compatible. If a reader wants to support a local or domestic business or an independent, there are a number of choices as well as the most famous vendors. Libraries are another great way to read books (in print or ebook or audiobook formats). Magazines and movies are available too. Kashallan Press makes our books available through libraries using several different systems, one of which is Hoopla.  Lately, there's been word of some Kashallan Press titles being borrowed through Hoopla, which is always good news. Glad to say that one of these books is Celu Amberstone's novel The Dream-Chosen , first in her series Tales of the Kashallans . Here's hoping that reader knows where to find the other seven books in the series. Celu is current...

Tales of Tasimu series now complete!

It's a busy time at Kashallan Press! This spring sees the release of the final two books in the series Tales of Tasimu: Reawakening Memory and Memory Reclaimed . These books are available now as ebooks and early in April will be available as paperback books. The series Tales of Tasimu has been a project close to the heart of author Celu Amberstone. Since the first book in the series was published years ago by Kegedonce Press under the title The Dreamer's Legacy , this has been a story she has wanted to tell till it is completed. When Kashallan Press released the new edition of the first book in the series as Taste of Memory , this expanded version of the book began a series that Amberstone could tell the way she wanted. Here's an image of the cover for this book and ebook, with a brief quote from early in the story. The first book was soon followed by sequels: When Memory Dies , Abandoning Memory , and Bitter Echo of Memory . Now the series takes a brighter turn, for tho...
