About the author

Born and raised in Western Canada, Jackson grew up as a child in logging camps, where radio plays and reading were his only forms of entertainment. Upon his return to the city, he felt the call to write fiction, and approached art with a passion and fury. Rather than jump directly into authorhood, he first edited, and then promoted others' writing as a literary agent. Eventually, he moved forward into his own art, and his first three novels were published in the United Kingdom between 2000 and 2002.

In 2006, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. He is a member of the Writers' Union of Canada.

Jackson lives in Western Canada, where he continues to write fiction and work in scientific research.
