Jennifer Roberson

Roberson’s writing career so far has spanned 44 years and is comprised primarily of fantasy series such as the 8-volume Chronicles of the Cheysuli; the 8-volume Sword-Dancer Saga; the Karavans universe; and urban fantasies in the Blood + Bone series. In 1997, a collaboration with Roberson, Melanie Rawn, and Kate Elliott, The Golden Key, was short-listed for the World Fantasy Award. Other works include two historicals from Kensington based on the Robin Hood legend, Lady of the Forest and Lady of Sherwood, and a Scottish historical Lady of the Glen, featuring the documented Massacre of Glencoe in 1692.

Additionally she has published a short story collection; a Highlander TV series media tie-in, and other genre titles. Many of her fantasy novels were released in foreign language editions as well.

Roberson wrote her first novel at the age of 14. She was 29 and 2 days old when her first novel was acquired. A 15-year overnight success!

She has a Bachelor of Science in journalism, and once worked as a newspaper reporter and advertising copywriter. Hobbies include showing dogs, and making mosaic artwork. Currently she has a Cornish Rex cat and Cardigan Welsh Corgi--the Corgi with the tail.

Roberson plans additional novels in the Sword-Dancer series, a final novel in the Karavans universe, potentially another Cheysuli novel, and historical romance/fantasy novels.
