Birds, Boughs, & Belonging: Reflections on Nature, Solitude, and the American Spirit

"Birds, Boughs, and Belonging invites listeners into a quieter America—where meaning is discovered not in noise or ambition, but through attentive companionship with nature. Across gardens, forests, seashores, and mountain vistas, classic American writers—including Nathaniel Hawthorne, Louisa May Alcott, Edgar Allan Poe, and Herman Melville—explore solitude, empathy, and moral lessons provided by birds, trees, and living landscapes. These stories reflect on small moments: observing the Sabbath from a window, a nest meticulously built, a garden persistently tended, and a lonely soul enlightened by nature’s wisdom. This volume is not about escaping society but about learning to belong within it more humanely. Sometimes whimsical, sometimes meditative, and at times quietly devastating, these selections reveal how nature consoles, instructs, and ultimately reconnects individuals—with themselves and others. Thoughtfully arranged for immersive listening, Birds, Boughs, and Belonging offers a restorative journey into the reflective, compassionate, and vibrant American spirit. Featuring the work of renowned authors and hidden gems of classic American fiction, including: Sunday at Home, by Nathaniel Hawthorne Footprints on the Seashore, by Nathaniel Hawthorne The Piazza, by Herman Melville Sketches from Memory, by Nathaniel Hawthorne The Domain of Arnheim, by Edgar Allan Poe The Island of the Fay, by Edgar Allan Poe My Summer in a Garden, by Charles Dudley Warner Buds and Bird Voices, by Nathaniel Hawthorne Mountain-Laurel and Maidenhair, by Louisa May Alcott What the Swallows Did, by Louisa May Alcott Gray Lady and the Birds, by Mabel Osgood Wright The Oriole’s Nest, by Kate Douglas Wiggin Song of the Fir-Tree, by Kate Douglas Wiggin A Story of the Forest, by Nora A.

Battlefield Missouri

"A Second Korean War Looms... A murderous North Korean dictator identifies a weakness in the powerful United States armed forces. For over sixty years this same force protected South Korea from the North’s aggression. If he can exploit this weakness, war will result. If allowed to happen, this war will wreak untold destruction and enslave millions of innocent South Koreans. North Korea commandos and ISIS terrorists are soon enroute to Middle America. Aided by North Korean cyber warriors, an astounding piece of North Korean technology, and even an American traitor, the commandos and terrorists are soon in place and ready to commit horrendous acts of terrorism and destruction. One man stands alone against the impending attacks - Colonel Jack Black Eagle, commander of an isolated US Army ammunition depot. When political leaders ignore his warnings and request for help, Jack has no choice but to lead his employees and several reluctant local citizens in a desperate battle against the attackers. Clausewitz describes the uncertainty of situational awareness during battle as the 'Fog of War.' This same 'Fog' holds true for Colonel Black Eagle's almost impossible task… Can not-so-ordinary citizens hold their own against fanatic mujahidin soldiers? Will a Sasquatch intervene on the side of the good guys? Can a man protect his family and defend his command at the same time? Will an oddball helicopter pilot overcome long odds and save his marriage? Can an undisciplined brawler focus his skills, and his family, into defeating the enemy? Will the United States avoid a second Korean war? Colonel Jack Black Eagle laughs, cries, and shakes his head in disbelief as he learns the answers to these questions the hard way."

The Death Ship

"The Death Ship tells the story of an American sailor, stateless and penniless because he has lost his passport, who is harassed by police and hounded across Europe until he finds an 'illegal' job shoveling coal in the hold of a steamer bound for destruction. The Death Ship is the first of B. Traven's politically charged novels about life among the downtrodden, which have sold more than thirty million copies in thirty-six languages. Praise for The Death Ship: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A damn good high seas adventure novel with all the trimmings. This one lived up to expectations. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It's a funny first-person yarn by a happy-go-unlucky societal misfit that's reminiscent of Mark Twain. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of these books you read once and never forget. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ When you see B. Traven on the spine of a book, just pick it up... hurry home with it."

The Maenad's God

"Pete Morrow is an alienated FBI agent whose only escape from the colleagues and society he despises is through reading literary classics. When his boss sends him to warn away a drug dealer on an obscure army base, he discovers a murder and becomes obsessed with Jade McClellan, a mysterious man whose rock band just performed at the crime scene. Tough-guy Morrow has never been in love before—but Jade is almost magical, an embodiment of myth and literature who creates living fantasies that rapidly become the only thing Morrow values in his otherwise miserable life. But there's a problem. Morrow is investigating a mafia family that is investing in Jade's musical career. Being open about their relationship could get both of them killed. Morrow's investigation annihilates his hard-boiled understanding of reality when he learns that Jade is an abandoned, mortal son of Dionysus, the god whose energy informs hard rock. Jade's mafia support is being arranged by Dirty Penny Starmaker, a witch who started life in 5th century BCE Athens, where she received a divine mandate to promote brilliant musicians throughout history. Penny is warring with Hugh McCrae, a primeval, human-like 'monster' who has currently incarnated himself as a congressional aide with an unhealthy interest in Morrow's work. McCrae (rhymes with 'decay') carries his own divine mandate to promote cultural decline by eradicating creativity and art. This includes Jade, his music, and Morrow's newfound happiness. A seamless blend of psychological thriller, dark satire, magical realism, LGBTQ romantic suspense, and myth, The Maenad's God is the story of a spiritual war that's been fought for thousands of years; the war between the ancient arts of music, poetry, and love; and the equally ancient forces of artistic envy, oppressive law, and authoritarian religion."

To Open The Sky

"From Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author Robert Silverberg comes, To Open The Sky. The Atom was their God—but there was something stronger… At the beginning of the 22nd century, Earth colonies were established on Mars and Venus. But the ultimate dream - to travel to the stars - was still an impossibility. Cults, fads, madnesses of various kinds swept the population. The maddest--and so far the most permanent--were the Vorst worshipers, the atom adorers, the believers in immortality through technology. Yet there were the Harmonists, who believed that technology could never do it. And the hatred between the two factions was too deep to be reconciled - until a conflict on Venus between a Vorster priest and his Harmonist opponent resulted in unexpected developments. "

Locker Jr. Elmer's grandson, David, has further enriched this Manifestation Book with many of his own experiences in manifestation. If you wish to harness the power of your consciousness (conscious and subconscious mind) to realize your desires, don't hesitate.
