Fernanda Lazzaro's interest in bugs was sparked in her childhood, when she would collect and observe little
critters she would find in the backyard and laneway of her Toronto home. However, she always stayed away from spiders and centipedes.
Fernanda enjoys writing about the adventures of Tia and the twins,
but this story was slightly difficult because of her own fear. Even after conducting much research, Fernanda is still afraid! At least now she understands a centipede's purpose.
The first book in the Tillsonbugger Adventures series is called, The Swarm that Swarmed. It follows Tia, Vivian, and Fil through mischief and bee-scoveries.
