This isn’t fiction. It’s a warning shot.
Storyteller with a Rebel Edge
Monica Chase is the bestselling author of speculative thrillers that grab you by the imagination and don’t let go. Raised on sarcasm, skepticism, and ‘80s mixtapes, she grew up a Gen X latchkey kid with a chip on her shoulder and a knack for seeing through the spin—ideal training for writing high-octane stories where science goes sideways and power always overreaches.
Often compared to authors like Michael Crichton and Blake Crouch, her work dissects the collision of progress and power, featuring morally gray characters and consequences that cut deep. She often says her stories sit just one inch from reality—because the future isn’t waiting for permission.
From Boardroom to Biohackers
Her debut novel, Broken Code, launched The Helix Chronicles, a speculative thriller series about rogue DNA, secret labs, and future shock. Before storytelling full-time, Monica spent years navigating corporate America, sharpening her mistrust of power—and turning it into a few unforgettable villains.
Quirks, Coffee, & Chaos
When she’s not neck-deep in conspiracy and chaos, Monica binge-watches TV that’s smarter than she is, invents elaborate backstories for strangers in coffee shops, and tries (and mostly fails) to negotiate life with her highly opinionated rescue dog. An ’80s soundtrack is usually playing way too loud.
