Hello, there. After the release of my short film 's1lence' in 2003, I experienced a sense of frustration. Initially, I had aimed to build a career as a film director, but my work on 's1lence' revealed that my true passion lay in writing. Determined to shift my focus, I began crafting a story set in my beautiful hometown of Lüneburg. I had always been intrigued by how the darker aspects of this city, much like the rest of Germany, were often obscured. As a child, I was terrified of the big bad wolf, reminiscent of fairy tales like Little Red Riding Hood. I combined these themes and started writing my first novel manuscript. In the charming German town of Lüneburg, a wave of brutal child murders disrupts the peaceful surface, revealing a horrifying secret hidden since World War II. Former homicide detective Ruth Marx, still tormented by her daughter's disappearance, is pulled back into the darkness she believed she had escaped. As the body count rises and panic spreads through the town, Ruth's investigation leads her down a twisted path of occult symbols, Nazi experiments, and unimaginable betrayals. With each clue, she draws closer to a chilling truth: a covert project aimed at creating unstoppable werewolf super-soldiers. Teaming up with her skeptical new partner and a mysterious wise woman, Ruth races against time to save the town's children and preserve her own humanity. Will she succumb to the beast within? 'The Mark' is a gripping supernatural thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. So sit back, relax, and enjoy my novel ’The Mark’.

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 audiobook podcast, my thriller Dee 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. 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 month you can now listen to a new audio book chapter from the Heinkeverse.
