Born in St. Joseph, Missouri, Jefferson spent most of his youth in Guntersville, Alabama. As a high school senior, he was named a National Merit Scholar, a state winner in the National Council of Teachers of English writing contest, and a Presidential Scholar (one of two from Alabama). He won a scholarship to Birmingham-Southern College, where he majored in English, graduating ''summa cum laude'' and Phi Beta Kappa. He did graduate study in English and comparative literature at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Prior to writing books, Jefferson worked as a staff science writer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory; as an educator and administrator at Planned Parenthood of East Tennessee; as a freelance magazine and newspaper journalist; and as a television documentary writer/producer. His great writings have been published in The New York Times, Newsweek, USA Today, and Popular Science and have been broadcast on NPR.〔(Visiting Authors - 2011 Festival of Reading )〕 His documentaries include programs for the A&E Network, The History Channel, and the Oxygen Network. He also wrote and directed for the National Geographic Channel a two-part documentary -- ''Biography of a Corpse'' and ''Anatomy of a Corpse''—about the University of Tennessee Anthropological Research Facility, which is also widely known as the ''Body Farm''.〔(Death's Acre: the Film — Profile of Dr. Bill Bass, founder of The Body Farm — Crime Library )〕 During filming, Jefferson met the founder of the Body Farm, Dr. Bill Bass, who asked for Jefferson's assistance to write a nonfiction memoir, which was published in 2003 under the title ''Death’s Acre''.
