Jennifer Mitchell Roberson O'Green was born in Kansas City, MO on October 26, 1953. She grew up in Phoenix, Arizona and currently resided in Tucson. She received a B.S. in Journalism from Northern Arizona University in 1982, and in 1984 published her first novel, Shapechangers (1984).

In 1986 Roberson published the first in her Tiger and Del series, Sword-Dancer. This series concerns the adventures of Southron sword-dancer Sandtiger and Deliliah, a sword-singer from the North.
