Introducing - Heinke Digital Audiobook Podcasts
Hello there. My name is Christian Heinke. Almost two decades ago, I got off to a respectable start with the first German audio book podcast, my thriller 'Die Haut' (The Skin). After my 10 minutes of fame in the spotlight with book contracts, interviews, reading tours and podcasts, I went on with my life. I found a job, met my wife, got married, started a family and introduced some people to the magic of cinema with various film programs.
But all these years, writing was always with me. Every November, during National Writers Month, I would sit down and write another manuscript. Over the years, this has resulted in a number of interesting stories. Some of them are too good to let gather dust in my cloud storage. Thanks to the latest advances in artificial intelligence, I am now able to have my texts edited and translated well enough to bring them to life using a variety of artificial voices.
Every two weeks you can now listen to a new audiobook chapter from the Heinkeverse. We start with my 12-part thriller from the future: Damocles.
