Chasing Thoughts

Welcome to (The Chase - Monica's Blog)

Well, this is awkward.

I’m Monica Chase, and this is my blog—which means I’m supposed to tell you a little about myself without sounding like a résumé or a hostage note.

Let’s get this out of the way: I’ve been devouring books since I was tall enough to reach the library counter. Writing came soon after. Now I write stories about the not-so-distant future, where science blurs the line between progress and fallout, and ordinary people are forced to make impossible choices.

If you're into biotech conspiracies, rogue AIs, and human agency in a world that feels increasingly programmed, you're in the right place.

By day, I’m a former corporate escapee with a healthy distrust of authority. By night, I write fiction that stares into the dark corners of our technological reality and asks, “What if we already crossed the line?”

I’m an introvert in a well-cut extrovert disguise. I overanalyze everything. I build entire character arcs for people I’ve only seen once in a coffee shop. My mind never really turns off—and I’ve learned to make that work for me.

This blog is where I share behind-the-scenes glimpses into my writing journey, thoughts I probably should’ve kept to myself, and the rabbit holes I keep falling down. Sometimes it’s about the books. Sometimes it’s about the biotech. Sometimes it’s just about the chaos of doing it all while trying to outsmart my very opinionated rescue dog.

If anything here makes you nod, laugh, or question the future—stick around. Subscribe to the newsletter. Say hi. Or just lurk—I see you, and I’ve definitely created a fictional character based on your vibe.
