The Apologies We Recorded, a psychological thriller concept package. The graphic shows 3 novel covers and the free lead magnet, Please Keep the Silence.

The concept

In a Manchester sound booth, adults can record a private apology and choose whether to send it. Editor Maxine Kay keeps the breaths between sentences. A recording may belong to its speaker, but the person it addresses gets to decide whether to listen. Three visitors hear words they crave so badly that they misread what those words prove.

The apology for her sister’s accident was recorded three days before the ride. Iris can explain that away. What she cannot explain is the correction to the colour of the broken helmet. The free companion novella is Please Keep the Silence.

The worldPrivate audio sessions, retained originals and written consent. Maxine hears what reaches the microphones, never anyone’s inner thoughts. She verifies chronology away from the booth.

Series tropesUnderdog • Revenge • Hidden Relationship

Intended readershipFor readers drawn to obsession, unreliable self-justification and a reveal that changes the meaning of the opening words.

Tone & contentPsychological coercion and adult harm. Every recording has an identifiable human source.

The people behind the promise

Free novellaMaxine Kay and Vic Law, a father seeking his daughter’s forgiveness.

Book 1Iris Watson, a bereaved cyclist, and her sister’s secret lover.

Book 2Andrew Bellis, a former boxer, and the woman who once vouched for him.

Book 3Helen Simm, a former union steward, and a colleague she once expelled.

Series arc

A silence first dismissed as dead air saves an innocent friendship. The later tapes anticipate an injury, hide the second speaker and assign forgiveness to someone who never offered it.

The three books

The direction is set. The books are written after you order.

Free novella

Please Keep the Silence

Vic wants twelve seconds of silence cut from the middle of an apology. In the silence someone whispers a private nickname. The daughter is certain her father came alone.

Story outline

Story arc and endingVic’s new partner was present, prompting a retaliatory accusation against his former friend. Maxine confirms who signed into the booth and offers the daughter the entire file only with permission. Vic admits what his partner wanted, withdraws the accusation and makes a live apology. His daughter agrees to a walk rather than immediate absolution.

Emotional payoffMaxine keeps silence in its proper place as part of a speaker’s choice.

The Sorry That Came First

The apology for her sister’s accident was recorded three days before the ride. Iris can explain that away. What she cannot explain is the correction to the colour of the broken helmet.

Story outline

Story arc and endingThe speaker planned to scare the sister for ending their affair and dictated possible apologies in advance. Iris’s own later description supplied the corrected colour on an overdub. A repair ticket, the unspliced master and a rider who saw the speaker move a barrier prove the prior intent. Iris gives investigators all three instead of releasing an edited revenge clip.

Emotional payoffShe can pursue accountability without becoming the next person to manufacture a confession.

Story focusGrief to Hope

Length55,000 words planned

Book 2 of three

Her Half of the Apology

Andrew recognises an apology from his boyhood friend. In the reply she seems to forgive him for something he remembers doing. Her mouth was wired shut the week it was made.

Story outline

Story arc and endingA rival recorded the reply using the friend’s earlier rehearsal of a play, hoping Andrew would repeat an exaggerated assault story in public. The two men had concealed their rivalry over the same partner. Andrew admits a lesser real offence and helps Maxine locate the play’s prompt copy and original actor. His accuser loses the leverage of the larger lie. The friend decides what, if anything, to forgive.

Emotional payoffAndrew stops letting shame about the truth make him susceptible to a much worse invention.

Book 3 of three

The Tape Marked Forgiven

A tape marked FORGIVEN reaches Helen’s retirement party. Her own voice grants mercy to a woman she still despises. There is applause on the tape from people who never met.

Story outline

Story arc and endingHelen’s assistant assembled pieces of three workplace ceremonies to punish her for protecting a former lover who harassed a colleague. Helen recognises the wrong hall’s echo and verifies it against an event programme. She exposes the splice, then makes a fresh, voluntary statement about the genuine cover-up. The victim declines a public reunion. Helen respects the refusal.

Emotional payoffOwning her actual complicity matters more than winning the argument about the tape.
