Patricia A. Jackson — Author Biography
Patricia A. Jackson is an American author, high school language arts teacher, and advocate for diversity in literature. She is best known for her contributions to the Star Wars universe, particularly through short stories and a roleplaying game sourcebook that centered on people of color.

Career and Writing
Jackson’s Star Wars work began in the 1990s when she wrote numerous short stories for the West End Games quarterly Star Wars Adventure Journal. Her most famous creations include:

Drake Paulsen, a Socorran smuggler, and the Old Corellian language she invented for his stories.

Adalric Cessius Brandl, an Imperial Inquisitor, and his son Jaalib, featured in the Emanations of Darkness story.

The 1997 West End Games sourcebook The Black Sands of Socorro, a smugglers’ guide focusing on non-white characters in the Star Wars setting.

She also authored the canon short story “Gone to the Winner’s Circle”, published in the 2023 anthology From a Certain Point of View: Return of the Jedi.

Debut Novel
In addition to her Star Wars work, Jackson is the author of Forging A Nightmare, an urban fantasy novel set in a dark, supernatural world. The book explores themes of identity, survival, and the supernatural, and she has spoken about drawing inspiration from her own experiences and the settings she imagines.
