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. Under her Olivie byline, she is the New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six. Her other books include The Atlas Paradox and viral literary romance Alone With You in the Ether. Alexene lives and works in Los Angeles with her husband and goblin prince/toddler, where she is generally tolerated by her rescue pit bull.
