D. Fierst

I’ll just put this here for now and remain villainously cryptic.

I can’t share all the details yet (soon!), but let’s just say: things are moving. Fast. In a good way. A very good way.

Before the official announcements drop, I figured it was a good time for a little reintroduction. Not of me exactly, but of the shape this next year is taking, and what that means across projects and platforms:

The (first) Book>

We’re officially entering the editing phase(s) for All I Want Is To Not Be Alone. If all goes to plan (and it will), it’ll be wrapped and ready for ARC readers in about a year, with the release on point for October 2026.

It’s surreal to be this far along, and of course, I’ll be documenting the process as we go.

The Soundtrack (what!?)>

Because why not over-commit creatively, I’ve decided to create an original score for the book. Think: a moody, cinematic-style soundtrack that captures the tone of the story. I’ve always wanted to explore a more instrumental, classical-ish direction with my music, and this seemed like the right moment to go all in.

Will it work? No idea. Will I share the process? Absolutely.

Substack>

I’ll be launching a Substack in the very near future. It’s a test, but a serious one, to see if it might become a better home for serialized content, long-form updates, maybe even short fiction.

Could it flop? Sure. Will I try again if it does? Obviously. How else do you get anything to work?

That’s the gist. Short and to the point, because honestly, I’ve got a lot of shit to do. But thank you for sticking with me, and if you’re new, welcome! This is where it starts getting fun (he says with small twitch in his eye).

Love you all.

Fuck the King.
