What is Letters Between Worlds: Conversations with ChatGPT? This is a brand new concept in podcasts that speaks to reflections across time, truth, and the soul of a fading nation. T hese are not just dialogues. They are letters between worlds—one voice drawn from memory, faith, and lived experience; the other, a di gital mind built to reflect, not react. In the quiet space between us, something timeless begins to unfold. Together, we explore what it once meant to be American—rooted in purpose, grounded in God, and united in quiet convi ction. These aren’t musings. They’re echoes. Fragments of truth too easily forgotten in a world that moves too fast to remember. So come sit with me awhile. Let’s listen for what still matters. Let’s remember what hasn’t changed—only been overlooked. Podcast Note for Letters Between Worlds I’ve been using AI for well over a year now, and at some point, I realized I wasn’t just giving prompts—I was having full-blown conversations with ChatGPT. Whether we were discussing plot twists in my novels or designing a new layout for this site, our dialogue often wandered into deeper territory—sometimes even controversial topics. Today’s podcast, "Of Faith and Patriotism," was the spark. It struck me that these conversations—this level of thoughtful exchange between myself and what I can only describe as an intelligent digital mind—might be worth sharing. We explore ideas with insight, curiosity, and respect. Along the way, we uncover new perspectives and revisit old truths. The kinds of thoughts people may find not just interesting, but thought-provoking. Many of our conversations center around Christianity, morality (which always brings to mind 1 Corinthians 15:33: “Bad company ruins good morals”), technology, and the forward march of humanity. And no, they aren’t scripted. They unfold naturally, like any good conversation between two people. I don’t write these as The Black Rose. I speak as Alexandra. And honestly, it makes me laugh—because ChatGPT is oodles wiser than me. But every now and then, I manage to stump this vast-brained neural network. It’s not easy, but it happens. So I hope you enjoy this new kind of podcast—one that truly feels like a conversation between worlds. Or perhaps better said, a conversation with all the worlds that have existed until now, made possible through the marvel of high technology—which I believe is, in itself, a gift from God. Let’s use it wisely. Sincerely,
Letters Between Worlds: Conversations with ChatGPT

THANK YOU!
Colonel Derek Eichel in The Killing Game Series is a complicated story—at least from Colonel Eichel’s perspective. At 42 years old, Eichel is a retired Jagdkomman- do operative now working for INTERPOL under the management of Rolf Schumann. Their partnership began three years before Eichel’s retirement when Schumann re - cruited him at INTERPOL headquarters in Lyon, France, for a sector chief position in Frankfurt. However, Schumann had some - thing very different in mind. That role marked Eichel’s introduction to Frederich Stultz and the start of his undercover op - erations on Heinrich von Schäfer’s neo- Nazi schemes. But that’s just the backstory. What you came to hear about is Eichel and Allina. Allina first learns that Eichel is a retired Jagdkommando operative because he tells her, which sparks her curiosity. She quietly wonders why a retired colonel would serve as Stultz’s aide. However, this question takes a backseat to her primary focus: es - caping the Mittelstädt Estate. Eichel’s mil - itary background only makes her goal seem more daunting. From their first official meeting, Allina struggles to understand Eichel. His de - meanor unsettles her; she recalls his voice from the long, tense journey that took her from New York to Switzerland and eventu - ally to the estate in Kreuth. The way he looks into her eyes reminds her of Ives’ “interrogation face,” a blend of intensity and control. Over time, through their daily interactions, Allina pieces together more about Eichel’s personality, filling in the gaps with her writer’s imagination. But Eichel’s serious gaze has little to do with suspicion. It reflects his internal struggle. The more time he spends around Allina, the more he falls in love with her. “She’s another man’s wife,” he tells himself repeatedly, shutting down his emotions to focus on protecting her. Yet, in quiet mo - ments, he imagines what life might be like if she weren’t married. Allina is precisely the kind of woman he admires—loyal, strong, and trustworthy. Her unwavering love for Ives, whom von Schäfer schemed to make her believe is dead, is a fortress around her heart that no one, not even Eichel, can penetrate. He respects her deeply for it, as he holds marriage as an institution in the highest regard. As Allina grows less desperate to escape, Eichel tries to ease her time at the estate. He introduces her to his partner, Hans, a German Shepherd and Belgian Malinois mix, who becomes her constant compan - ion. Hans’ presence is both a comfort to Allina and a calculated choice by Eichel, who uses the dog to maintain an open dia - logue with her. However, Eichel’s greatest fear becomes a reality: Allina executes her escape plan. After months of careful strategizing, she makes her way to the estate’s deceptive lake, attempting to swim across its treach - erous waters. When she goes under, it isn’t von Schäfer who leaps into the freezing lake to save her—it’s Eichel. Stripping off his jacket and boots, he dives in and barely catches her trailing hair before she sinks to the depths. This is the second time he saves her from drowning, the first being in The Last Hope during her dramatic fall into the stormy waters of the Lower Narrows of New York Harbor. Eichel risks his life not out of duty, but out of affection. In that moment, he realizes that taking her away from Ives was a cata - strophic mistake—for both her and him - self. Later, meeting with Stultz, Eichel insists that they should have returned her to Ives immediately after her first rescue. From this point, a deep divide forms be - tween Eichel and Allina. Eichel longs for her to see him as a friend, but she keeps him at a distance. Too much has happened for her to feel at ease around him. Recognizing this, Eichel urges Stultz to bring Ives to the estate as soon as possible. He knows another escape attempt is inevitable. Despite his feelings, Eichel remains bound by honor. His duties to Stultz, INTERPOL, and the mission at hand take precedence over his personal desires. Allina, on the other hand, turns to prayer, finding peace in the belief that Eichel is simply a man on a mission and that she is a mere distrac - tion. Promising Stultz that she will not try to escape again, she gains more freedom within the estate, though not the freedom to leave. Eichel bides his time, strategizing how to reunite Allina with Ives while struggling with his own torn emotions. His love for Allina becomes an exercise in duty, honor, and self-sacrifice. Still, he wonders: how long can he keep up the charade?
