Books 7 and 8 in a series

This winter has seen the release of new titles in the series Tales of the Kashallans by Celu Amberstone!

Book seven is Kashallan Alliance, in which Phillip and his young symbiote, Joey, take on the challenge of forming 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.

Book eight is Treacherous Campaign, where we see several threads of the narrative come together. 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?

A moment from Taste of Memory

The new series from Kashallan Press is Tales of Tasimu . First in the series, Taste of Memory can be found at our distributor at this link . a revised and expanded edition of Celu Amberstone's out-of-print novel The Dreamer's Legacy . Here's an image with a short moment from the book. The second book in the series is When Memory Dies . Both books are available now as ebooks, and soon will be paperbacks as well. Third in the series is Abandoning Memory , to be released in summer 2024.

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.

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...
