Summary

Boston, March 1990: During the St Patrick’s Day revelries, thirteen priceless works of art – a Vermeer, Rembrandts, a Manet – are stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. With no leads for the police to follow, it seems as though they’ve all but evaporated into a bleak New England night…
On the South Fork of Long Island – one hundred and fifty miles away – Jake Dealer is amongst the last of a three-hundred-year tradition of America’s seafaring history. A fisherman born with an innate ability to read the Atlantic’s unforgiving waters, from which he ekes out a living; his horizons defined only by his family and the ocean.
A plot put into motion in Boston – where money and power hold different meanings – will change the course of his life. And when, in the wake of a devastating tragedy, Jake is unwittingly ensnared in the greatest unsolved art theft in history, he’s left fighting to cling on to the only certainties he has ever known.
A white-knuckle thriller and a haunting portrait of a disappearing American frontier, No Man’s Land weaves together themes of survival, redemption and the brutal price of silence. Simon Gaul charts new territory in the American literary seascape, creating an indelible portrait of both a vanishing way of life and the depths of human resilience. Just how far will someone go to protect what matters most?

    Will a woman with no memory be the salvation of her people… or the means of their final destruction? 
    Nara Velez wakes in a prison pod with no idea how she got there. She quickly learns that things have drastically changed during the time she can’t remember—and not just with her situation. The Mareritt—an ancient enemy—now control most of Arleeon and treat her people little better than slaves. 
    Worse still, the Mareritt also control the drakkons. 
    Nara has no choice but to work with Kaiden Silva, the warrior she’s been chained to and a man who distrusts her deeply. But escaping the Mareritt is only the first of their problems; they soon discover their enemy is working on a brand-new weapon—one with the power to wipe out the last remaining free city in Arleeon, just as they’d wiped out the drakkon warriors of yesteryear. 
    If Nara is to have any hope of freeing Arleeon, she must first regain her memories and determine why they were restricted. 
    But in doing so, she might just unleash hell on the very people she is trying to save. 
    Because there is magic in her mind… and its source is Mareritt. 
    Author’s Note: While all books in the Kingdoms series are set in the same world and use the same magic system, each book features a different couple and will be set on different continents.

    Your Driver Is Waiting is a razor-sharp, darkly comic novel that follows a rideshare driver navigating the chaos of late capitalism, systemic injustice, and personal disillusionment. When her mother dies and her life begins to unravel, she clings to the only control she has left—her car, her routes, and the steady stream of passengers who come and go. But everything shifts when she meets a captivating activist whose promises of change ignite hope, rage, and unexpected romance. As tensions rise and protests ignite across the city, the line between justice and revenge begins to blur in a story that’s equal parts satire, heartbreak, and rebellion.
