ABOUT THIS NEST AND AUTHOR

Alex BravoWho did this?

My birth name is Alejandro Raymundo Bravo.  I was born in Acapulco, Mexico.  I'm a Christian, an inventor, and a Pisces.

How did this book come about?

I got the idea for a bug book in 1988, but I didn't start writing it until 1993.  The more I learned about bugs, the more I thought it would be fun to write a novel incorporating all the cool things they do.  Also, I thought it would be neat to have a companion website that showed all the cool facts embedded in the novel. I've spent a lot of time and effort trying to produce a piece that I hope many people will enjoy.
