Goodreads asked Tom Blubaugh:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Tom Blubaugh When my oldest granddaughter was about two, I started pretending I had tickle bugs on the ends of my fingers. She never tired of this.

When her little sister was old enough, the older sister passed this game on to her. I live 13 hours away. One day I received a phone call from the younger granddaughter asking me if I could bring some tickle bugs the next time I visited.

This prompted me to write the children's book The Legend of the Tickle Bugs.
