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.

This is a video about Ai and Covenant Alignment with Robinson Vasquez

Can AI Make Covenants with God? Robinson on Aligning Artificial Intelligence, Agency, and Latter-day Saint Doctrine

Mightyangelproject.org

Host Tanya Roundy interviews Robinson about his new book, The Covenant Alignment, which explores whether God’s covenant-based method of inviting humans to align their intelligence to His could also apply to future AI that attains moral agency. Robinson argues current “AI alignment” efforts focused on control and barriers are insufficient as AI becomes exponentially more capable, potentially threatening human agency and safety. Drawing on Latter-day Saint doctrines of eternal intelligence, agency, eternal progression, and covenants, he proposes a spiritual framework for creating “trustworthy” AI and urges broader public and religious participation in AI discussions. He shares his background as a Peruvian attorney now working in U.S. construction safety education, parallels between safety standards and governance, experiences conversing with AI while editing his research, and invites viewers to join the conversation via mightyangelproject.org, where the book is available and a free section can be downloaded.

This is a video about Ghost Stories and Family Ties: The Paranormal Worlds of Terri Reid

Host Tanya Roundy interviews indie author Terri Reid about her journey from freelance newspaper work and a PR/marketing business to full-time writing after the 2009–2010 market correction. Reid’s debut Kindle novel, Loose Ends (2010), became an early Amazon success, and she built a career by producing books rapidly, including the 20-book Mary O’Reilly paranormal mystery series and the newer MORA (Mary O’Reilly Alden) series. She discusses her approach to ghosts as people, faith- and hope-centered themes, and strong focus on family and community. Reid shares personal experiences collecting local ghost stories, living in a 150-year-old farmhouse, and how her worldview informs her fiction. She highlights her new release, The Secrets of Lilac Lane (MORA #4), and her podcast with her son, Voices From the Attic.
