Books and music
that do not look away
Forgotten Seal Press is an independent imprint for gritty, emotionally honest fiction and alt rock projects, bringing stories to life on the page and in stereo.
An imprint for readers and listeners in the gray areas
We publish grounded, emotionally honest work...
Fiction with scars and sharp edges
Crime, speculative, and character driven stories that sit between commercial thrillers and literary fiction. As new titles launch, this is where their summaries and links will live.
Alt rock stories in stereo
Independent alt rock projects built around themes of grief, recovery, faith, and second chances. This section will highlight albums, EPs, and future audio releases from the imprint.
An independent imprint run by a working counselor and storyteller
Forgotten Seal Press is the studio home for projects created by Erv Lenzy. The focus is on stories that do not flinch at grief, addiction, faith, and the slow work of recovery. Everything here starts small, grows carefully, and stays personal, whether it reaches you as a book or a song.
Stay ahead of the next release
Occasional emails when new books, music projects, or behind the scenes notes go live. No noise, just releases.
