Hi, I've just published a book set in Tunisia - The Selling of Kaelyn Sullivan. Set in 1629, it spans three countries. It was inspired by my own trip to Tunisia. As an obsessed traveller, I'm hoping to turn my Marie Hunter pen name into novels set in spots inspired by my extensive travels.

Discover the book that combines stirring romance with a sweeping family epic. Can the Sullivans find their way home to Ireland … and love?

1629. When Barbary pirates raid an Irish fishing village, Kaelyn Sullivan and her entire family are taken and sold off at the Tunisian slave market. Stranded in a strange land, despondent without her family, Kaelyn wants only to escape and return home.

The mysterious, sensual Zafar, a Tunisian aristocrat, is the only man who might change her mind. His kindness draws her; his heat tempts her.

With Zafar’s help, Kaelyn sets out to discover what has become of her family. Will the answers lead her back to Ireland … or into the arms of the seductive Zafar ‑ the man who might give her heart a new home?

Hello all!

Set in Tunisia and France in 1935, Dido's Crown is a taut historical thriller influenced by Indiana Jones, The Thin Man, and John le Carré.

Mary Wilson MacPherson has always been adept at putting the past behind her: her father's death, her sister's disappearance, and her complicated relationship with childhood friends Tom and Will. But that all changes when, traveling to North Africa on business for her husband, Mary meets a handsome French-Tunisian trader who holds a mysterious package her husband has purchased — a package which has drawn the interest not only of Britain's Secret Intelligence Service, but the Nazis as well.

When Tom and Will arrive in Tunisia, Mary suddenly finds herself on a race across the mesmerizing and ever-changing landscapes of the country, to the shores of southern France, and all across the wide blue Mediterranean. Despite her best efforts at distancing herself from her husband's world, Mary has become embroiled in a mystery that could threaten not only Tunisian and British security in the dangerous political landscape of 1935, but Mary's beliefs about her past and the security of her own future.
