Packshot of The Ocean's Calling by Mirà Kanehl. The book cover features a New Orleans woman on a French balcony facing the ocean. She looks wild and has a yearning expression. A ship is in the background.

My current work in progress, subject to editing 🙂

She wants only a ship beneath her, a crew behind her, and a treasure before her.

Packshot of paperback: A Half Flower by Mirà Kanehl. The book cover shows a Frenchman in period clothing looking seriously towards a flower. He's at the beach in Hawaii and the atmosphere is sinister, dark clouds.

He never intended to fall in love, much less get into the same trouble in a different place.
