Author of the Month

Our Author of the Month for January 2024 - Olivie Blake

Alexene Farol Follmuth, also known under the pen name Olivie Blake, is a lover and writer of stories, many of which involve the fantastic, the paranormal, or the supernatural, but not always. More often, her works revolve around the collective experience, what it means to be human (or not), and the endlessly interesting complexities of life and love.

Alexene tripped and fell into writing after abandoning her long-premeditated track for Optimum Life Achievement while attending law school, and now focuses primarily on the craft and occasional headache of creating fiction. Under her Olivie byline, Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling The Atlas Six released in 2022 from Tor Books, completing the trilogy with sequels The Atlas Paradox (2022) and The Atlas Complex (2024). She is also the author of standalone SFF bestsellers One For My Enemy and Masters of Death, as well as viral literary romance Alone With You in the Ether. Olivie has also been published as the writer for the Webtoon-featured graphic series Clara and the Devil with illustrator Little Chmura. As Alexene, she is the author of YA romance, including Goodreads Choice Nominee My Mechanical Romance and forthcoming Twelfth Knight.

Alexene lives and works in Los Angeles with her husband and goblin prince/toddler, where she is generally tolerated by her rescue pit bull. You can find out more about Alexene and her work at www.olivieblake.com

The Atlas Complex : The devastating conclusion to the dark academia phenomenon - Olivie Blake

The Atlas Complex marks the much-anticipated, heart-shattering conclusion in Olivie Blake's trilogy that began with the internationally bestselling dark academic phenomenon, The Atlas Six.

Only the extraordinary are chosen. Only the cunning survive. An explosive return to the library leaves the six Alexandrians vulnerable to the lethal terms of their recruitment. Old alliances quickly fracture as the initiates take opposing strategies as to how to deal with the deadly bargain they have so far failed to uphold. Those who remain with the archives wrestle with the ethics of their astronomical abilities, while elsewhere, an unlikely pair from the Society cohort partner to influence politics on a global stage.
