Her Majesty's Quill

What if you lost everything?

Honolulu, 1827

Delmar Lecuyer flees across the South Pacific, one heart-racing knot ahead of the law. At twenty-one, he's an outlaw-for a crime he didn't commit-instead of following his surgeon career. As the tormenting clutches of France dissolve in the wind, he reaches Honolulu in hope of a new life. When the monarchy refuses the French disembarking for being Catholics, Delmar is devastated. Then, by a stroke of luck, he's called before Her Majesty. Will he win the gamble with fate to ensure his stay?

Her Majesty's Quill is the first book in a historical fiction and magical realism series Naupaka that features an array of intercultural and compelling characters-from the surgeon protagonist to women pirates and Hawaiian magicians-that meet in a sizzling, historical context. If you like exotic locales, cringe-worthy explorations of early 19th-century medicine, and engaging, subtle fantasy, then you'll love Mira Kanehl's page-turning new series.

"Her Majesty's Quill is an enchanting start to a new series of novellas, reading historical, but with an undercurrent that is other-worldly. The reader simply knows without being told that something is afoot. [...] History, myth, love, legend, adventure... This little novella has it all!"

-Susan Stradiotto from Truly Novel Reviews

"Her Majesty's Quill is a delightful historical novella, book one in a series. It is the story of Delmar Lecuyer, a French surgeon who travels to the South Pacific in the 1800s. He falls in with a group of missionaries, and encounters many adventures ministering to the sick in a Hawaiian culture alien to his European roots. There is also the promise of romance. The author has a gift for bringing the sights, sounds and smells of a past era alive with evocative phrases and vivid descriptions. I look forward to the next installment of Delmar's story."
