Welcome

 Welcome to Kashallan Press!

Here you will find works by celebrated author Celu Amberstone. Her novels, short stories, and nonfiction books have been enjoyed for years by readers and academics alike. As many of her works have gone out of print, Celu is thrilled these books will now be available again in new editions. In addition, new novels will complete previous series and expand the fiction available from Celu through Kashallan Press.

 

The literary works of Celu Amberstone are of particular attraction for those interested in Canadian and North American literature by writers of aboriginal heritage. In both her fiction and nonfiction writing, Celu draws on her Cherokee and Celtic history to bring strong cultural elements to her prose. Many of her novels have aspects of speculative fiction and magic realism. In some of her works are elements of the new genres of eco-fiction and eco-gothic fiction.
Each of her books is being released in ebook format and soon in print and audiobook formats as well. Look here on Kashallan Press website for links to where her books can be purchased from your favourite online vendors, and information for ordering them through bookstores as well.

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...

Opinions for a Twitter Colloquium

For a Twitter Colloquium on Self-Publishing, here are some of author Celu Amberstone's thoughts in this discussion:    I think there are advantages and disadvantages to self-publishing. I am a mixed-race, Indigenous author and for that reason my writing perspective is different than what the established publishing industry is used to. I have been told many times by New York agents and editors, in their refusal letters, “Your writing is great, but I don’t know how to market your books.” But with help from online sites like D2D or Smash words I have been able to offer my books in reputable stores like Amazon and Barnes & Noble nonetheless. Self-publishing isn’t a shortcut to fame and glory, however. It means you have to do, yourself, much that would have been done in the past by a traditional publisher. So, if you want to have your writing treated seriously, then you have to do the work needed to insure the books you offer are the very best you can...

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...
