Blake Hoena Author & Editor

Blake Hoena grew up writing stories about robots conquering the moon and trolls lumbering around in the woods behind his parents’ house—the fact that the trolls were hunting for little boys had nothing to do with Blake’s pesky brothers. He pursued a Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing from Minnesota State University, Mankato, and since graduating, Blake has written more than 60 books for children. Blake has published ABC picture books, graphic novels about space aliens, and retellings of classic stories.
