January 02, 2026 Type Thief audio – chapter 1
I didn’t take the time to re-export with intro music like I did for Codename Hirondelle, so this is the barebones Chapter 1 that follows on from the Prologue (previously posted—or mostly, as part of the sample).

December 29, 2025 Type Thief – now an audiobook
Type Thief, set in #earlymodern Europe, is the tale of a beautiful typeface created in Venice for exclusive use by the Vatican. But the apprentice tasked with delivering the type to Rome decides instead to head north… Type Thief tells the story of what happens to the apprentice, and the type, as it journeys from Venice to Antwerp and beyond… Meanwhile, in the present day, a book collector traces its journey through the rare books and prints that survive.
The audiobook is narrated by me, and comes in at 9hrs and 24 minutes of *solid* entertainment. It’s available from Amazon, Audible, and Apple Books.
