Pauline Chow is a writer, coach, and ancestral magic practitioner, crafting alternative histories and optimistic futures. She is a Pushcart nominated author with words. Not your average data scientist, she once sued slumlords and advocated for affordable housing. Now, she lives in the woods and is planning her next trip to a historical (hopefully haunted) hotel.
Chasing Moonflowers, a gothic fantasy, is out July 2025, request an ARC here.
