From the desk of the President and Editor in Chief, Mr. Cameron Walker.

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen and welcome to the first issue of Solitary Confinement for 2020. I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday season, whatever it is you did and whoever you spent it with. For us here at Forsaken Press it doesn’t feel like it was much of a holiday as we’ve been extremely busy running the company and getting all of our exciting new releases out on time. But let’s get stuck into the news, announcements and the latest on the recent Forsaken Press developments shall we?

The first announcement I have to make is that from now on Solitary Confinement will be a fortnightly newsletter, making it less regular, but still as informative and insightful as well. The decision for this is a relatively simple one. For the first several months there was an awful lot going on with news and developments occurring on an almost daily basis, hence it was necessary to keep you all up to date with regular newsletters detailing what was going on. Now however, we have settled into a more normal routine and things while still productive, aren’t nearly as chaotic as they were, thank the gods for that. So now its no longer necessary to keep you all informed with weekly newsletters as a fortnightly format is enough to keep our news and announcements current, now everything has been established and we find ourselves with a much more normal schedule.

Secondly all three of our scheduled Forsaken Press releases are now out and available in Ebook format on Amazon, Smashwords, Gardner, Kobo, Scribd and Apple Books. The paperback edition of Devil’s Eye is now available exclusively on Amazon (for now) and the other two are coming in the near future. It was a long and arduous process, but we finally got there in the end. There have been some issues with the review process seeking approval for the manuscripts on Amazon, which despite being all cleared by the upload process are still being rejected upon review, frustratingly without an explanation. So until that issue is solved they will be available only in Ebook format, but we hope to have that issue resolved very soon.

We are currently working on some upgrades to our Instagram, just to add a little bit more flare to the page and make it a bit more informative. Work has begun on designing our Blogger Blog that should be completed in the next week or so. We’re pretty excited about this particular development, as it has been one of our goals for sometime now. In addition to this you can now find Forsaken Press releases available on Lulu, as we expand our distribution network to include their platform. Both Ken Dixon’s The Roots of Marvis Jedd and Through the Gates of the Silver Key: The Best Collaborations and Ghost Writings of H.P. Lovecraft are currently available through Lulu, with Devil’s Eye coming in the near future.

A few scheduling conflicts and minor issues have led to us having to shuffle around our release dates a little bit, but rest assured we have plenty of exciting new releases in store for you in the future. Our next release will be coming out at the end of February, a little bit later than we had initially planned, but still keeping with our manifesto of one release a month, so we’re safe, for now at least.

Don’t forget to check out our release catalogue right here on the blog, along with our official reviews conducted by our Social Media Manager Jenna in her own Jenna’s Side review page. There’s also our official Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, DeviantArt and Facebook page to check out across the web of our social media network. That’s all from me for this edition of Solitary Confinement. I’ll see you next fortnight when I have some official details to be unveiled in regards to our next release and hopefully good news as to the progress of our paperback releases and the launch of our Blogger Blog.

Thank you and kind regards,

Cameron Walker,

The official weekly Forsaken Press Newsletter:

Issue 5: 29/11/2019

From the desk of the President and Editor in Chief, Mr. Cameron Walker.

Hello all,

As usual its been another busy and eventful week here at Forsaken Press, but I am happy to announce that things are finally settling down into some sense of normality as we get everything we need established set up and ready to roll. The editing and formatting process with a number of works for release is progressing very well and we’ll be getting those out right on schedule in the coming weeks. And you can be sure that in the coming months we’ve got a load of new releases in the works with five scheduled in the coming months and another four currently in development. We are constantly growing, picking up new authors and scheduling new material to be released under the Forsaken Press banner.

A brief look at our release schedule for the next month shows three exciting releases that you’re sure to love:

Devil’s Eye. PRINT EDITION, by Cameron Walker – Coming December 14th.

Through the Gates of the Silver Key: The Best collaborations and ghost writings of H.P. Lovecraft, edited by Cameron Walker – Coming December 23rd.

The Roots of Maris Jedd, by Ken Dixon – Coming December 30th.

Aside from the news on upcoming releases we’re happy to report that our social media network of Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, DeviantArt and Twitter are slowly, but surely growing. So if you’re on any of these platforms be sure to give us a follow and show your support. I would also like to take this opportunity to announce that next week’s issue of Solitary Confinement will include a very significant and special announcement concerning releases and submitted material, so stay tuned for that.

Plans for our Youtube channel and other forms of media and content outside the area of Social Media have been unfortunately delayed for the near future while we focus on other, more pressing matters, but we still have big plans for them in the longer term. I’m quite excited about what we have in mind, but unfortunately it will have to wait for a later date. Updates and announcements relating to that will be revealed as they become available.

Be sure to follow the official Forsaken Press blog and Facebook page as we have some great content coming for you in the near future in the form of interviews, samples, excerpts, reviews, focus pieces and related articles. Speaking of which I was recently interviewed by our wonderful Social Media Manager Jenna for the first entry in our “On Writing” interview series, right here on the blog, which I would really recommend checking out. Stayed tuned for next week’s addition to the series when I sit down with the maestro of the macabre C. Priest Brumley and discuss writing, horror and things that go bump in the night.

Lastly I would like to take the opportunity to welcome Allyson Cooper Russell to the Forsaken Press team. Allyson will be releasing her debut novel, True Companion, through us in the coming months and its sure to be a hit with fans of slow burning Sci-Fi.

That’s all from me for this week, as I said stayed tuned next week for what could possibly be our biggest announcement yet. 🙂

Thank you for all your continued support,

Cameron Walker,
President and Editor in Chief,
