Kathy Tyers was born on July 21, 1952 in Long Beach, California. She is noted for writing science fiction and has also written a travel book and recorded two folk music CDs with her husband Mark. They currently live in Montana.

Tyers graduated from Montana State University with a degree in macrobiology and, after marrying Mark, became certified to teach K-12. When her church opened a private school, she took over teaching the lower grades. In 1979, she retired from teaching to start a family; their son Matthew was born in 1981, and she began writing in earnest two years later.
