New series beginning!

 There's a new series of novels by author Celu Amberstone being released by Kashallan Press! This summer, look for the first and second titles in the series Tales of Tasimu . The origins of this series are in Celu's novel The Dreamer's Legacy , originally published by Kegedonce Press, with her young protagonist Tasimu. Celu has restructured that novel and a sequel to make more narrative sense of Tasimu's adventures as a trilogy. First book in this series is Taste of Memory . Its striking cover has the image of a magical being who can take the shape of a seal. The second title in the series is When Memory Dies . Both titles will be available soon for preorder, and will be in both ebook formats and paperbacks.

Paperback covers adjusted

The series cover for Tales of the Kashallans is consistent for every title: there's a striking stylized image of an alien being called a khutani , which you could be forgiven for guessing was an image of some kind of dragon, if you hadn't read any of the books. Above this being appears the title for this volume in the series, such as Blood Magic's Snare , and Tales of the Kashallans Book 6 . Below the alien being is the author's name, Celu Amberstone. That pattern of words and stylized alien is consistent throughout the series Tales of the Kashallans , making them recognizable at a glance. But one thing is not so consistent for these cover images, and that's the colour. The shade of dark green used for book covers in this series appears very well on computer screens and cell phones or tablets. But when we released the first books in this series as paperbacks, it soon became apparent that this shade of dark green was almost black on a printed cover! Too dark, at any
