⚠️ Audiobooks – Restoration in Progress
Between 2014 and 2022, I created twelve original books and curated eleven anthologies of world literature. In collaboration with an international group of narrators from the UK, the United States, and Canada, this work led to the production of twenty-three audiobooks. Following an unexpected issue with a distribution platform, these audiobooks are no longer available, and the original audio files could not be recovered. However, the manuscripts remain intact. I am currently working towards rebuilding and reimagining these audiobooks for future listeners. While this chapter has taken an unforeseen turn, the work itself continues, and its next life is already underway.
