Author has written 15 stories for Nightmare Before Christmas, and Coraline.

Hi all.

I am in my early 40s. I've been writing NBC fic now and again for about 20 years. Most of my stuff is on Ao3 these days, but some is here.

I live with my husband, our kids, and our dear old dog.

If you knit or crochet or spin, I'm also Misa1 on Ravelry, and always looking for fiber folk friends. I also have an Etsy shop called "Go Get Our Girl", but it's on extended hiatus right now as I manage family stuff. I'm lummy on Pinterest and nannerpies on Instagram. I'm just all over the damn place.

Apart from fanfiction and fiber stuff, I run long distances to burn off my crazy. I did a full marathon for the first time last year. The was a thing that happened.

I have a Dreamwidth journal. It's mostly f-locked, but if you ask I'll happily add you. It's pretty boring. No fic, just my day to day life stuff, but if you're into hearing someone vent about young children and looking at photos of yarn purchases and race medals - it could be right what you're looking for!

In years past my non fan-fic writing has been published in print nationally and internationally in places like Animerica Magazine, Broken Pencil, The Scars Literary Review, The Biotope, and The Ax-Wound. I also contributed online to the websites Pretty Scary, We Play with Dolls, Spwug, and a couple of others.

I wrote a middle-grade novel that I still haven't figured out what to do with.

I'm pretty wrapped up in our youngest child right now, and he is a force of nature. Much other stuff has had to slide for the past couple of years.

Don't Tease the Pumpkin King by GodlyJewel reviews

It's a Wonderful Nightmare by Snowflake Archive reviews
When Jack wishes that he had never been the Pumpkin King, he gets a chance to see what he and others' afterlives would be like if his wish came true. But what repercussions will his quick decision have on the people Jack loves? This is something of an "It's a Wonderful Life" parody with "The Nightmare Before Christmas." Expect some good ol' Jack and Sally shipping too.
