Blake put her pen name through a name generator originally to anonymously write fan fiction. [3] She self-published six novels prior to being picked up by a traditional publisher. [7]
Blake uses her pen name for adult literature and her legal name for young adult literature. [5]
Blake's most notable work is her only series, The Atlas Series, a fantasy trilogy that follows six medeians who are invited to the Alexandrian Society, five of whom are promised initiation, at the cost of one's elimination. [8]
The Atlas Six was later republished by Tor Books in 2022 with revisions after going viral on TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter, while Blake was having her first son. [7] In late 2021, Amazon Studios announced they will be collaborating with Brightstar Productions and Blake to produce the novel into a television series. [9] [2]
Tor Books also republished Blake's backlist titles: New York Times bestselling Masters of Death (2018), One for My Enemy (2019) and Alone With You in the Ether (2020). [10]
Blake then published the second novel in The Atlas Six series in 2022, The Atlas Paradox, alongside Sacred Hospitality, an Atlas short story taking place before the events of the novel, both via Tor. In the same year, she published her first YA novel, My Mechanical Romance, with Holiday House, under her legal name, Alexene Farol Follmuth. [11] My Mechanical Romance revolves around women in STEM, and was inspired by the author's husband, who is a high school physics teacher. [8]
