About

Elisabeth Fowler is a Georgia-based novelist with Alabama roots, a head full of stories, and an unshakable belief in the power of messy, complex characters. She writes speculative and emotionally layered fiction that centers BIPOC voices, often set in worlds that feel just familiar enough to sting. Elisabeth is also the founder of Horizon Quill, a publishing imprint dedicated to uplifting underrepresented authors and reimagining the way their stories are told. When she’s not building fictional universes, she’s hopping time zones in search of story fuel, or sewing purses that are just as unpredictable as her plot twists.

Praise

This book broke me open and stitched me back together with gold. If you’ve ever felt like an outsider, if you’ve ever been told you’re too much or not enough, Raza’s story will feel like it was written just for you. And that final message lingers like a heartbeat: "It’s not the color of your coat that matters. It’s the color of your character."

A must read for the World. If only everyone could find this truth! Having the main character have faults and a struggle to face the reality of his place in the world makes him and his story more relatable to humanity.

This book tackles current issues surrounding technology, privacy, and the darker side of viral fame, making it a timely and thought-provoking read. I found Kassidy’s character to be both strong and vulnerable, and Fowler does an excellent job portraying the emotional cost of living in a world where even the most personal details can be weaponized.
