Biography

Born in Atlanta, Georgia on November 21, 1963, Christie Golden, as a young teenager of thirteen, would dedicate entire afternoons to watching Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope.

Golden participated as one of the three writers involved in the nine-installment Fate of the Jedi series. Her initial contribution, both to the series and to the Expanded Universe in general, Fate of the Jedi: Omen, achieved significant success, reaching #4 on the New York Times bestseller list and #3 on the Publisher's Weekly bestseller list. In addition, Golden authored a short story serving as a prequel to Omen, centered on Vestara Khai. This short story, titled Imprint, was exclusively available to members of Hyperspace.

Golden was originally slated to write a Star Wars trilogy known as Sword of the Jedi, which would have focused on Jaina Solo Fel and her husband Jagged Fel. However, the series was ultimately canceled due to the announcement from Disney Publishing Worldwide and Random House regarding the reboot of the Star Wars adult novel continuity. Following the restructuring of the canon under Disney's ownership, Golden returned to the franchise to write the novel Dark Disciple, which tells the story of Quinlan Vos and Asajj Ventress near the conclusion of the Clone Wars.
