Inspirational Indie Author Interview #57: Interview with Dean Blake — Instagram Artist Helps us Laugh During Tough Times

My guest this week is Dean Blake, who has turned Instagram fame into an indie author career. What began as simple drawings that poke fun of ridiculous life situations went viral on social media and have struck a chord, especially in these times, when we can all use a good laugh. Every week I interview a member of ALLi to talk about their writing and what inspires them, and why they are inspiring to other authors.
