    Author

    Mira Kanehl

    Mira was born in Munich and raised in an international city in South India. For most of her career life, she worked as a project manager and translator. At university her focus was on literature and intercultural communication with the intent of becoming an author. Though it was her dream from age three, it stayed just that until she took the leap in 2018 when she published her first book. Her writing explores intercultural psychology and the sometimes harsh realities of history in emotionally gripping stories.
