About JM

Wisconsin native and sushi roll addict, JM has done many things for someone her age. Her first flight was across the world to Australia, where she has found great people, good food, and an appreciation for city living.

JM has been writing stories for as long as she’s been able to write. (The spelling is another matter…) From the early days of writing stories about her brothers destroying the world with atomic farts, she’s moved on to becoming a published short story author, freelance writer, and aspiring novelist.

On May 5th, 2007, she married her Australian love.

When she’s not writing and listening to almost any type of music you can think of, she spends her time talking to friends, blogging on her other blogs, scrapbooking, traveling with her husband, and talking quantum physics.

She loves hearing from people, so feel free to email her comments, questions, and jokes!
