Thank you for listening to or reading The Spectral Agent.
We’re thrilled that many of you have found our story and have listened to every episode. Thank you for supporting us; your being here means a lot to us.
The Spectral Agent is Jan’s first full-length novel. We’re independent publishers, and this book and podcast are an experiment.
Since we listen to a lot of audiobooks, we figured a lot of people would enjoy stories the same way.
That seems to be the case, as many of you have been following Viktor and his investigation solely through the podcast.
Ed, in particular, likes the buddy cop—buddy ghost?—banter between Viktor and Chai.
Since Ed has to hear it over and over during editing and audio production, it must be good.
You can find the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Substack.
We’re grateful you’re here on Substack to see our creative process, read text versions of the story, and learn more about the characters. We’d love to hear your feedback.
If you enjoy the story, please tell a friend and rate the podcast.
If you hate the story, tell a friend about that, too.
Maybe it’s their cup of tea.
The first draft was written between January and March 2025. Jan has lived with these characters in his mind for much longer. He’s glad to share them with you finally.
Ed edits each chapter weekly and then publishes it for your listening pleasure.
We didn't plan to release the next chapter—chapter five—during Pride month.
But we’re delighted it turned out that way. We hope you are, too.
Jan and
The Spectral Agent - Chapter 5
