 Have you seen Memory Reclaimed , the final book in Celu Amberstone's Tales of Tasimu series? The image of a magical seal-being on the cover is the same throughout the series, but the story grows and matures from book 1 to book 6. Young Tasimu grows to manhood with joys and responsibilities that test his strengths. The fantasy elements in this series reinforce Tas's ties to the natural world. To describe this series, the author considers it not so much fantasy as "non-colonial magic realism" -- an inspiring thought. Book 1 in the series, Taste of Memory , has the ebook marked down to FREE for the rest of June, to get readers started in the series.

Enthusiasm on social media

 What fun! There's some cheerful discussion of Celu's series Tales of the Kashallans , now that all ten books have been released. Here is a quote from Jess Mahler on Bluesky: "I've read the first book in Tales of the Kashallans series, and it was ... wow! Mind blown. Never read anything like it before. Rest of the series is on my TBR list." With delight for Jess's enthusiasm, Kashallan Press set the first 6 titles in this series at 99cents each for an ebook for the next ten days, so Jess and friends of Jess would have plenty to read this summer.

Most popular title

 Wow! At Kashallan Press, the most popular book of 2025 is Blessings of the Blood . It's no surprise, as this book is author Celu Amberstone's most popular book, most borrowed-and-talked-about book, and the one most-likely-to-have-somebody-photocopy-a-chapter. The enduring popularity of the original edition (which is still trading among used book dealers) is why Kashallan Press knew there was a need for our new edition. Ask for it at your public library: Blessings of the Blood is a book you want people to see on the shelves and find parts of it that speak to their own experiences.
