At long last, Perfect Organism is thrilled to bring you a two-part interview series with Alex White, author of 2018's Alien: The Cold Forge and the just-released Alien: Into Charybdis.

Alex's work is popular with fans—so popular, in fact, that Alex credits a fan meme campaign with getting this second Alien novel off the ground!

Join Jaime and Patrick as they sit down with Alex for this two-parter on Alien, inspiration, how to write a novel, the perks of convincing your parents to become friends with your second-grade teacher, and much more.

We'll be back with Alex in a few weeks for a second installment, in which they'll respond to listener questions. If you haven't submitted yours yet, head over to Building Better Worlds on Facebook and add your voice to the conversation!
