Allison Baggott-Rowe is an International Award-winning author with disabilities hoping to build worlds that challenge and inspire readers to consider our place on the planet, especially in a world that can be challenging for disabled/chronically ill individuals to inhabit. She is one of Marquis “Who’s Who in America 2024” and delivered a TEDx talk on overcoming medical adversity in 2018, entitled "A Fall Does Not Define You, But How You Rise Will Redefine You." Her previous short stories and personal essays have been featured in several acclaimed works, including the 2023 international bestselling anthology "You Can, You Will." She also contributed the winning piece for Inked in Gray's 2022 anthology contest, We Deserve to Exist.

In 2024, she won Harvard University's Judith Wood Prize upon graduation for being a student who advocates for disability access on the heels of receiving the Swarthmore Book Award. When not writing from her favorite perch on the couch, Allison enjoys taking her dogs (Samwise and Rosie) to the park, embarking on adventures with her husband into the wilds of Ohio, and playing enchanting tabletop board games. She also has a pesky habit of diving into any body of water she finds, from the lap lane in the gym pool to the Aegean Sea.

Liz Moore’s The God of the Woods is a masterclass in literary suspense—less a mystery to be solved than an atmosphere to be inhabited. From its opening pages, the novel understands something essential: that the most unsettling questions are not what happened, but who gets believed, who gets protected, and what silence costs.

Liz Moore writes with a quiet, devastating clarity about the systems that decide whose voices matter and whose disappear without consequence. This novel understands that danger is rarely sudden or singular; it is cumulative, structural, and often sanctioned by institutions that call themselves protective.

Set against a wilderness that neither comforts nor condemns, Moore exposes how power hides in plain sight. The woods are not the threat. The threat is what happens when class, gender, and authority converge—and when girls and women learn, over and over, that speaking up carries consequences while silence is rewarded. 🤫

What makes this book extraordinary is its refusal to simplify. There are no easy villains, no cathartic reckonings. Instead, Moore interrogates how families, schools, wealth, and social hierarchies collude in erasure. How intuition is dismissed as hysteria. How survival is mistaken for consent. How truth becomes negotiable when it inconveniences those in power.

Formally, the novel is patient and precise, trusting readers to sit with ambiguity rather than rushing toward answers. That restraint mirrors the book’s moral stance: justice is rarely neat, and accountability is often deferred—especially for the most vulnerable.

It is a novel about believing women, about the cost of silence, and about the violence embedded in systems that teach us to look away. This is literary fiction doing what it does best: naming the harm, illuminating the pattern, and daring the reader not to unsee it. 👁️

Honored to receive an Honorable Mention from NYC Midnight for my 100-word micro-fiction “Over Enemy Lines.” 🏆💜

A suspenseful moment in a pharmacy parking lot: two people undercover, racing the clock, risking everything to attempt the quietest rebellion imaginable—growing a family against the backdrop of marginalization, misunderstanding, and manifestation.

Sometimes resistance looks like survival. Sometimes it looks like love. And sometimes, even hope has to move in the shadows.

✨🕯️When the musicians invited any Swifties in the room to sing, my husband and I didn’t hesitate.
Then they played Anti-Hero — his favorite — and we sang along as other voices slowly joined in. 🎻🕯️
But the real star? The little girl behind me who knew all the Eras choreography and sang with her whole heart.💕
There’s something about shared music — especially music that’s lived with us for years — that cracks something open. I came home overflowing with creative abundance for my writing after this unforgettable Candlelight tribute to Taylor Swift by StringSource String Quartet at Memorial Hall.🕯️
Art begets art. Always. 💜✨

4:30 a.m. in Budapest.
A quiet atrium on Christmas morning.
A notebook brimming with new stories.
When I travel, I don’t leave my writing behind — I bring it with me, gently.
Before the city wakes. Before the day asks anything of me.
Just ink, breath, and the strange magic that shows up when you listen closely enough. This trip has reminded me that stories don’t need perfect conditions.
They just need a little stillness… and your willingness to show up.
🖋️🌍

Gentle goal: write one honest paragraph today — wherever you are.
