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...

Spring reading

 Here are two books worth adding to your book bag for some spring reading: Blessings of the Blood , and Deepening the Power, both by Celu Amberstone. Both have been VERY popular all winter on Smashwords among books on Rituals.

Winter reading

February is ending, and winter is starting to turn towards spring. Time to read another in the Tales of the Kashallan series! Here's a link for Treacherous Campaign , as ebook or paperback: https://books2read.com/b/treacherouscampaign   Treacherous Campaign is the eighth book in the series Tales of the Kashallans, by celebrated author Celu Amberstone. For fans of the 'Hundred Worlds' approach used in Star Trek and in Golden Age magazines, there are diverse settings and cultures along the journey taken by these human and alien characters. Nathan and Phillip, with their symbiotes, strain to lead the Kashallan Alliance against their Ghostlander enemies. They must learn to trust native war magics as well as their own off-world technology, as all resources are needed to protect them in this struggle. And what can Tessa do if her human body is not strong enough for the fighting that her own inner Demon must win, to protect them all?

Snowstorms here!

 There are snowstorms here at Kashallan Press, and also in many other places this winter. Time to find a good book and curl up by the fire. Have you read the latest two books in the series Tales of the Kashallans yet? Number seven in this series is Kashallan Alliance , and it's a strong story that covers a lot of ground. Phillip thought of himself only as a scientist. When he took on a Khutani symbiote he became a kashallan, to communicate for these great beings among all the races of the world Timorna. Now he's a respected leader on a mission to cross the Shallow Sea. With his young symbiote Yoey, Phillip must form alliances among warring clans in preparation for a dangerous future. Not all the clans agree, and the demon Tessa carries has its own agenda. Even the Khutani are not of one mind about what shall be done.   "This is a richly detailed fantasy/space opera that is positively addictive. Celu Amberstone has the knack of weaving elaboration and action into...

Happy New Year! and 2024's most popular titles

It's wonderful at the beginning of the new year 2025 to look back on the previous year's most popular titles. And this year, there is a tie! It's true. The most popular book of 2024 for Kashallan Press is not one, but TWO books. One is  Blessings of the Blood , first in our series Rituals , and the other is The Dream-Chosen , first in our series Tales of the Kashallans . Both of these titles are available as ebooks and paperbacks, and plans are being made for audiobook editions. It's a treat to see both of these books -- one fiction, one nonfiction -- so popular in both ebook and paperback formats. In 2025, look to see a finish to the series Tales of the Kashallans with Book 9. And there are plans ahead for a possible new volume to the Ritual series as well. All Kashallan Press titles can be found at this link: books2read.com/amberstone where you can click on any book's cover to learn more and order it from over a dozen online vendors. Or request paperbacks at yo...
