Nearly two decades ago, I launched the first German audiobook podcast with my thriller 'Die Haut', experiencing brief fame before moving on to a life filled with family and a passion for cinema. Despite this, I continued writing, producing numerous manuscripts over the years, which I can now bring to life using advanced AI for editing and voice work. You can listen to a new audiobook chapter from my 'Heinkeverse' every month, starting with the 12-part future thriller 'Damocles', set in a 2037 world transformed by implants and technology, where Chief Inspector Joseph Lenke navigates a society starkly divided by wealth and technological control.
