Zsaffryn Terra@zsaffrynterra.bsky.social · 2w agoSurprise book mail! 🤩 Epic all on its own, but when I opened the cover, themed stickers fell out like confetti! Thank you @authormickeyblack.bsky.social for my very own copy of WHEN MOUNTAINS CRUMBLE! This book was my first beta read, and my first arc read. I’ll never forget it.
Let’s go back to school with the fmc of my new adult, dystopian romance! Some news: 1) We are at 41 adds on Goodreads! Let’s get to 50! 2) WMC releases on 9/22! 3) I’m throwing a launch party on 9/27! Details are coming soon but just know I’m SO hype!

I’m signed up to do 6 book events from September until the end of the year with more pending. 🤯 I’m overstimulated already.
40 people want to read my book on Goodreads! Reminder: if I get to 50, I’ll have an annotated book for one lucky person and do a live reading of the first chapter. 🥰
Who doesn’t like a female, Robin Hood inspired, dystopian fairytale set in Appalachia? When Mountains Crumble releases on 9/22!
I’ve had 17 preorders on my book. I know that might not seem like much, but nearly 20 people want to read my book before it’s even out!
Are you more Shiloh Dupre or Aster Maxwell? When Mountains Crumble releases on 9/22/2026! Add it to your TBR if you love childhood friends to lovers, Appalachian settings, dystopian worlds, and Robin Hood vibes with a ton of yearning.
The stakes have been lowered! 🍎 50 adds on Goodreads and I’ll send out an annotated ARC to one random person who proves they added the book. 🗡️ A stretch goal but 50 pre0rders and I will send a box of goodies to one random person who showed proof. Technically we have 14 of them.
Today I conquered my fear of the post office. Everyone there was so lovely! And a side note, my son LOVES the mail and got to live a dream by meeting “post workers”. 😂😂😂
Those of you who like bonus content/sneak peeks of books might want to sign up for my newsletter if they have not!
I ordered author copies of my book yesterday from KDP. Initially the order said they’d be here 8/5, but I just got an email saying they’re shipped and will be here TOMORROW. Am I chosen or is that as weird as I’m thinking?
Does anyone else have a crazy need to be productive even when sick? I quite literally have a double ear infection/sinus nightmare and I keep trying to work when I really need to rest. 🫠
Shiloh Dupre today verses in May! I think I’m getting somewhere.

Zsaffryn Terra@zsaffrynterra.bsky.social · 2mo agoThat ending though! The pup requests book 2 pronto. We recently finished ARC reading WHEN MOUNTAINS CRUMBLE by Mickey Black, a dystopian fairytale with Robin Hood vibes.
Here’s an “about me” as we kick it into the new year! Look guys! I’m trying to be aesthetic and crap! I think I’m a pretty boring person. I’m sure my mom and therapist disagree. Follow my journey if you’re into dystopian fairytales about overthrowing a tyrant. ✌️ #writingcommunity
I’m going to try my best to be more active on here! Hello, Bluesky! I a have a dystopian romance coming out in October. When Mountains Crumble 10/20/2026
Okay guys - here it is. After months of querying on and off, I’ve decided to officially pursue self publishing. I have a great editor to help me along the way and have a timeline I’m working with. After a year of feeling stuck, I finally feel like I have forward momentum in this. I feel so at ease.☺️
