Bugs That Bug You is a rhyming story centered around a young boy frustrated by the numerous bugs that inconvenience him at every turn. Where did the idea for this story come from?

Yes, I experienced bugs who bugged me at the time. A very annoying fly would buzz around my head every morning and wake me up. Then a cockroach flew directly towards me. This is what inspired me to write the book.

What is it that draws you to write children’s literature?

I love the fun of it all. Usually, children’s literature has a positive tone to it, and you can add a bit of fantasy to it. This is why I love childrens literature, you can almost come up with anything you like 😊

Is there anything from your own childhood included in Fred’s character or his experiences?

Yes, we had weasels in our oats when I was a child; that’s why I added the weasels to Fred’s breakfast.

Can young readers look forward to seeing more from Fred? What are you currently working on?
​
At the moment, there’s nothing more from Fred. But you never know I might come up with in the future. I’m currently working on “Oh Dear, There’s Gum in My Hair,” a series of “Oh No, There’s Poo on My Shoe.”

Thank you, I hope you enjoy my books. Thanks Again
