Blake Hoena's stepdad once set a lump of clay in front of him in an art studio at the University of Wisconsin-Stout and told him to make something with it. Like with his second grade teacher telling him to use his imagination, that was one of the many small steps that led to him becoming a writer. And Blake has written many MANY books for children. Some have been licensed through National Geographic Kids, Sports Illustrated Kids, and DC Comics.He hopes to write another Blake and Archie Adventure in the very near future.
