Kashel Char is a Canadian-based author and independent publisher originally from South Africa. Writing under the literary pseudonym Glacier Dune, Char crafts immersive speculative science fiction and fantasy realms. Driven by a passion for deeply emotional and intense character dynamics, Dune’s work stands out for its high-stakes plots interwoven with spicy romance across both M/M and M/F pairings.

To maintain complete creative freedom and ensure high production standards for these vivid worlds, Char established Koda Calmz Publishing. 

As the principal proprietor of the boutique imprint, Char manages the global distribution, digital rights, and publication of the entire Glacier Dune catalog. Today, Char writes and operates the publishing house from Canada, blending a rich cross-cultural background into stories of adventure, magic, and romance.
