The Year of The Forever Tapes

(insider look of my proof copy)

I got my proof copy of Side B today… and honestly, I’m still processing it.

This is the first time I’ve held it as a novel. Not a draft. Not a test print. Not the old 8×11 version from years ago when Side B was still called Forever and was meant to be the first story in the saga.

Back then, it was a short story trying to be a book. Now, it’s a book that finally knows what it is.

I opened the old prologue, skimmed chapter 2, and then read the same moment in the new Side B: darker, sharper, more honest. The growth between those pages is wild. It feels like holding two versions of myself at once.

There are a couple tiny cover tweaks I need to fix before release (trim lines, a dotted spine mark), but the story itself… it’s exactly where it needs to be.

The First Recording – Side B releasing Juneteenth, 2026 on Amazon. Press play — the tape resumes soon.

You can purchase The First Recording - Side A now on Amazon.
