Marilyn Kister on Writing Her Debut Memoir “The Man in the Green Hat” | Roundy’s Rants, Raves & Reviews
https://www.marilynkister.com/

Host Tanya Roundy interviews Marilyn Kister, who is launching her first book, “The Man in the Green Hat: A Story about Connections.” Marilyn shares her Missouri roots, longtime career, love of coach travel, and favorite trips including Alaska, Cape Cod, and Mackinac Island. She describes how attending Richard’s Ranch and joining a writers group helped her grow from writing a short anthology piece into a full book using creative nonfiction. The memoir focuses on adoption, deciding whether to search for birth parents, and preparing for different outcomes; Marilyn’s story is positive and includes a surprise element. She discusses reading influences, the challenges of editing and point of view, and promoting the book through a late-September launch in St. Charles, Missouri, plus future events and an upcoming audiobook.
