Nye began collaborating with Robert Lynn Asprin on the MythAdventures series in 2003 with the publication of the collection Myth-told Tales and the novel Myth Alliances.

In 2008 she donated her archive to the department of Rare Books and Special Collections at Northern Illinois University Libraries.

[2] Born 1957 in Chicago, Illinois,[1] Nye says that she "always told stories" to her younger brothers, cousins, and friends, and as a junior camp counselor.

[5][6] For the Pern guide, Nye explained in its introduction, her team (without Clouse) had visited McCaffrey two years earlier, for ten days during October 1987.

"[8] Before The Dragonlover's Guide was finished, McCaffrey and Nye were working together on a novel, presumably The Death of Sleep (1990) in the Planet Pirates trilogy.

[1][9] Late in the 1990s Nye began work with Robert Asprin to extend the Myth Adventures series he had started in 1978.

ISFDB catalogs the four Crossroads Adventures as novels, the two Guides as reference books, and all six as contributions to the Pern and Xanth series.
