Green married in 1963 and had three sons. In 1976, Green divorced her husband and raised her three sons, Andy, Brian and Curtis, as a single mother in Highland Park, New Jersey.^[2]

Career

Green began writing in high school. She styled her early writings after her favorite writer, Robert A. Heinlein.^[3]

Before becoming a full-time author, she worked in several industries including as an AT&T shareowner correspondent, a construction assistant, then a bar steel assistant sales manager at an import firm.

Green began her full time writing career in 1984. Her early works were marketed as similar to John Norman's Gor series,^[4] but were actually intended as a rebuttal to Gor.^[5] Green said that she set out first to lampoon Norman's Gor books by creating three-dimensional female characters and powerful female characters in similar fantasy settings.^[6] Throughout her career she focused on writing strong female characters.
