Creepy Crawlies...Lynn's World of Disgusting and Dangerous Creatures

If you ask anyone that knows me, they will tell you - my two favourite things to do are bug hunting and beach combing! This shows in many of the books I write.

I have written a book about minibeasts for Hodder and Stoughton , coming out later this year (2003) which includes giant water bugs - as big as your hand! - and Puss Moth caterpillars who can spit a tream of acid at predators.

Then there is my book for Franklin Watts about what happens when Eleanor goes bug hunting in the garden...and meets dragonfly nymphs that look like aliens!

I am currently writing a book about dangerous animals called 'Animal Assassins' and another one about the 'World's Grossest Creatures', including everything slimy and stinky I could think of - yum!

I have also written a story about a dragonfly, and another about a stinkbug who plays smelly jokes on his friends...so watch this space!

*STOP PRESS* I have just finished a picture book about a boy who thinks bugs are aliens setting up camp in his garden...
