From conversation to legacy book

Introducing my new book: 

I Want to Hear Your Story: The Easy AI Method to Capture and Share Your Loved One’s Life Story in a Book - No Writing Required! by George Sranko 


Turn a simple conversation into a beautiful published legacy book. 

My system, "From Voice to Book," gives you a clear, repeatable workflow to record a guided interview, auto‑transcribe it, and let AI do the heavy lifting to craft a polished life story you can publish on Amazon KDP. No writing required. 

Why this book beats the fill‑in‑the‑blanks style workbook 

Traditional “Mom, I want to hear your story” workbooks often become make‑work projects for seniors. The space for answers is tiny, there isn’t enough room for an engaging story, and finishing the book can feel like a massive assignment for the person receiving the “gift.” 

The result is usually a few clipped notes—not a life in full voice. 

This book flips the script: a relaxed conversation or two captures real voice, humor, and detail. A few weeks later, the senior receives a true gift—her life story presented as engaging vignettes and moments the whole family can read and share.

I'm looking for readers for Advanced Review Copies. 

To receive your own free copy of the PDF, send me an email at gsranko@gmail.com titled "I want to hear your story." If you find the book valuable, I would really appreciate a positive review on Amazon.


Stop wishing you had their life story.

Traditional "fill-in-the-blank" workbooks often become a burden, leaving precious memories unshared. 
This book offers a revolutionary, AI-powered process to transform a casual conversation into a beautiful, published legacy book.

Record their voice: Simple guided interviews capture authentic stories.
AI does the heavy lifting: Transcripts become engaging chapters, effortlessly.
Publish with ease: Step-by-step guide to a finished book on Amazon KDP.
Use Amazon as your low-cost worldwide distribution network.
Create a true family treasure: A lasting keepsake, in their own words.

I really urge everyone to record their stories! With today's technology it is a straightforward process using a smart phone. Once you have a recording, it is just a matter of using the right prompts -- as shown in my book -- to turn the transcript into a beautiful legacy book for the kids and grandkids.

The Fantastical Ballet of Sexual Selection: Nature's Dating Game

Watch my lively presentation on Mating Rituals on YouTube

Only the winners get to pass on their genes

Here's a thought that might keep you up at night: everything beautiful in nature probably exists just so some plant or animal can reproduce. That tail, that song, those bright blue feet? All elaborate pickup lines in the grand singles bar of evolution.

The Reproductive Arms Race

Animals find mates through what amounts to nature's most desperate marketing campaign. Sexual selection, natural selection's flashier and slightly unhinged cousin, has driven creatures to develop traits so ridiculous they make human dating apps seem rational by comparison. The peacock's tail is basically a giant neon sign flashing "GENETIC JACKPOT" while simultaneously telegraphing "EASY MEAL HERE" to every predator within eyeshot.

Sex makes the evolutionary world go round, which explains quite a lot when you think about it. Why does the natural world resemble a combination of America's Got Talent, a fashion runway, and occasionally WrestleMania? Because only the contestants who win get to pass their genetic material forward in time. The rest become evolutionary dead ends, their fancy genes buried with them like so many unsold tickets to a canceled concert.

The Remarkable Price of Beauty

Darwin himself, that pillar of Victorian scientific exploration and understanding, was so confounded by the peacock's tail that in April 1860, he admitted that just the sight of a peacock feather "makes me sick!" Picture the scene: a brilliant man develops a comprehensive theory explaining all of life, only to be thoroughly flummoxed by what is essentially a bird's extravagant butt fan.

Why would any creature evolve a feature so impractical that it essentially paints a target on its back? The answer lies in what Darwin eventually realized was the difference between natural selection (the "struggle for existence") and... continue to read
