Nunn has been working as a full-time freelance artist for almost three years. She was born and raised in Virginia, where she still resides, and has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Virginia Commonwealth University. Her web site, Bishonen Works, over six years old, boasts over 30 image collections (much of it fan art labeled "Adults only"), a slightly larger number of fan and original fics, and about 30 doujinshi. Nunn is a familiar American creator of fan and original yaoi fiction and doujinshi (self-published comics). Welcome to the bishounen-filled world of artist and writer P.L.

Just like that, the life she had imagined for herself had gone up in flames. Then a trip to the doctor and, a few weeks shy of her twenty-third birthday, a diagnosis: leukemia, with a 35 percent chance of survival.
