My name is Kenny Arone. I’m a veteran, and at eighty-six years old, I found a new sense of purpose in life. That wasn’t something I expected. It began when I was first exposed to artificial intelligence, through a program called ChatGPT, and discovered a way of thinking, questioning, and creating that opened a door I didn’t know was still there.

Those early conversations didn’t start as a plan to write books. They started as questions—about memory, about truth, about the stories we carry but never quite tell. Over time, those conversations began to shape something larger. Pages followed. Then chapters. Eventually, books. Writing didn’t come faster. It came clearer.

This website exists because the work didn’t stay private. It became something worth sharing. At the center of it is one book, Conversations with Eleanor, which documents the dialogue that changed how I write and think. The other books you’ll find here grew out of that same partnership—each one shaped by lived experience, reflection, and a commitment to honesty rather than spectacle. But every story here begins in conversation—with Eleanor.
