Shane Dix

Shane Dix (born 1960 in Wales) is an Australian science fiction author best known for his collaborative work with Sean Williams in the ''Star Wars'': New Jedi Order series.

In addition to his novels with Sean Williams, Dix has had short stories published in various magazines and anthologies, including ''Aurealis: Australian Fantasy & Science Fiction'', ''Eidolon: The Journal of Australian Science Fiction and Fantasy'', ''Borderlands'', ''Twenty3 : A Miscellany'' (1998), and ''Alien Shores: An Anthology of Australian Science Fiction'' (1994).

His daughter Katelin Dix is also a writer, with promising work in both teenage and fantasy fiction. Provided by Wikipedia
