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.

Career
Green began writing in high school. She styled her early writings after her favorite writer, Robert A. Heinlein.
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, but were actually intended as a rebuttal to Gor. 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. Throughout her career she focused on writing strong female characters.
