    Acres of Diamonds by Russell H. Conwell is one of the most influential motivational speeches ever given, emphasizing that wealth, success, and opportunity are often closer than we realize. Originally delivered as a lecture over 6,000 times before being published in 1890, this classic work argues that anyone can find prosperity and fulfillment by recognizing and cultivating the opportunities in their own surroundings. 
    Through powerful storytelling and real-world examples, Conwell demonstrates that true riches—both material and spiritual—are not found in distant lands but right where we stand. Narrated by Nathan Edwards, this audiobook breathes new life into Conwell’s timeless wisdom, inspiring listeners to rethink their approach to success and self-improvement. 
    This enduring work remains a cornerstone of personal development literature, influencing countless entrepreneurs, business leaders, and success coaches. Acres of Diamonds is more than a lesson in wealth—it is a call to recognize and harness the potential that already exists in our lives.

    Poetry Winner, 2025 International Firebird Book Awards 
    Former poet laureate of Belfast, Maine, Afrofuturist/Oro-shamanic poet and bass clarinetist Toussaint St. Negritude dazzles with this debut collection of poems, featuring an ensemble of cosmic tones the late Pulitzer Prize winning poet Gwendolyn Brooks once called “full of sweet sounds and surprises.” 
    Through the inspiration of life, jazz, and nature, Mountain Spells is about the intrinsic clarity of emancipation, expressing all found intersections of what the author sees and experiences, and how this Black/queer/high-hat-wearing artist envisions the world through the lens of spirituality, the African diaspora, and nature as his home. Each poem, written in Vermont, expresses the whole cosmos of collective liberation.  
    “I listened to the birds, to the sky, what the leaves were telling me,” says St. Negritude, and captured it all in improvisational, freeform, and musical poetry, lovely and changing as the seasons themselves.

    Just two weeks after winning reelection to his ninth term in Congress, Steve King was stunned to learn the “Swamp” was poised to unleash a treacherous media blitzkrieg designed to kill his Congressional political career on the spot. The words “They believe they can force you to resign” still ring in his ears today. He knew Democrats and the media would pile on. Unfortunately, the threat was from within his party, and it was far more dangerous. The Republican establishment, RINOs, elitists, globalists, and NeverTrumpers needed him out of the way. This is the full story.
