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.
Two re‑releases are coming this spring, and both mean a lot to me.
Silence Hollowed: May 22, 2026, A fully revised edition with a new cover, new interior, and the version of the story I always meant to share.
Summer of Electric Weeds: June 1, 2026, A stand‑alone queer novella inspired by true events. A season of sparks, secrecy, and the moment that changed everything. I’m revealing the revised cover today.
Both titles will be available on Amazon, and if you want to step deeper into the universe, The Forever Tapes: The First Recording — Side A is already out and waiting.
More soon... but for now, here’s the first look at Summer of Electric Weeds.
Silence Hollowed 5|22|2026
(insider excerpt)
While polishing the revised edition, I reached one of the moments that has always lived at the center of Julian’s story; raw, quiet, and devastating in the way only truth can be.
For the re‑release, I wanted to share a small insider glimpse. Not a spoiler, just a moment of honesty.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
When they finally came, they were fractured, halting. “My father… he… he hated me.” Sebastian didn’t move, didn’t interrupt. His posture remained open, his eyes steady, his silence deliberate. He let Julian’s voice fill the space, however broken, however raw.
Julian swallowed hard, his breath uneven. “Four years ago… park… summer. I was with someone. A boy. My friend.” His voice cracked, the memory pressing against him like a blade.
“We were close. About to… kiss.” He shook his head, tears threatening. “My father saw. He… he screamed. Called me… called me a disgrace. A fag.” The word left his lips like poison, his voice trembling as though speaking it aloud burned him all over again. His shoulders hunched, body curling inward, as though he could make himself smaller, invisible.
“He dragged me. Pulled me off the table. My friend tried to fight him. He shoved him… hard. He fell. I screamed. I cried. It didn’t matter. My father didn’t care.” His voice broke, the fragments spilling out like shattered glass. “He threw me into my room. Hit me and slammed the door. Said I was nothing. Said I’d never be anything.”
Julian’s breathing grew ragged, his chest tight, tears slipping down his cheeks unchecked. He pressed the blanket against his face, muffling a sob, but he didn’t stop speaking. “That was the first time… the first time I knew I wasn’t safe. Not at home. Not anywhere. He made me believe love was wrong. That I was wrong.” His voice dropped to a whisper, fragile, almost childlike. “And I believed him.”

Do You Need A New Read???
Are you into queer reads? A new vision? Something fresh and different? Here are 4 links to two novels and one novella (short story) that I believe you should check out.
The First Recording - Side A (The first novel of a 6 novel series called The Forever Tapes) -> Amazon.com: The First Recording - Side A: 1965 (The Forever Tapes): 9798253036747: Canupp, R.L.: Books
The Forever Tapes: The First Recording - Side A: follows Daniel Vargas, who flees his judgmental home in 1960 for Chicago, where he finds a roommate and initial sanctuary with Rick, a writer struggling with his own identity. Daniel begins working at a record store and becomes captivated by Artie Price, a raw and soulful jazz singer whose voice Daniel views as "the sound of survival". Over the next few years, Daniel and Artie build a life together, creating a private "sanctuary" that withstands poverty. While their bond deepens and Artie's musical career begins to catch the eye of a calculating talent scout, the era's pervasive homophobia remains an ever-present threat.
The Silent Hollow (Available May 22, 2026): you explore a psychological horror narrative that leans into a "prestige-horror" aesthetic. The story centers on a deep-seated mystery within a specific location, focusing on atmospheric tension and a sense of isolation to drive the plot. As characters navigate the chilling environment, they are forced to confront both external threats and internal psychological struggles. The narrative is designed to maintain a high level of suspense, building toward a revelation that challenges the characters' perceptions of reality. Summer of Electric Weeds (Available June 1, 2026): a contemporary drama that follows Elara, a woman attempting to rebuild her life and identity after a period of institutionalization. While navigating a complicated relationship with her boyfriend, Darren, she experiences an immediate and undeniable "spark" with a man named Jonah Mercer. The narrative delves into a season of intense secrecy and emotional complexity as Elara and Jonah develop a hidden connection right under the noses of their friends and family. Ultimately, the story explores themes of self-discovery, the weight of long-held secrets, and the difficult search for closure and personal freedom.
The First Recording - Side A
A pause. The sound of a lighter flicking, a sharp intake of breath.
“This isn’t a story about how we burned. It’s a story about how we lived while the world was holding the match.”
The tape hisses again, a long, lonely sound.
“My name was Artie Price. But before the lights, before the records, before I became a ghost in my own life… I belonged to him.”
Click. The recording stops, but the silence it leaves behind is loud. It pulls you in, backward through the years, through the smoke and the neon, to a Chicago autumn where the wind cut like a knife and two strangers were about to collide in the dark.
