Short biography

Disambiguation notice

There are at least three (possibly more) Steve Jacksons here;
2) one the owner of Steve Jackson Games (b. 1953, USA) ,
1) another (UK b. 1951) the founder of Games Workshop and creator of the Fighting Fantasy series, and a Scottish thriller author (http://www.steve-jackson.net/) : see http://www.sjgames.com/general/faq.ht... Also note that many of the Steve Jackson Games books attributed to him don't actually have either one as an author or editor.
4) There also seems to be an American true crime writer.The American crime writer was born in 1951, and lives in Denver.
It should be noted that both the US & UK games designers have written books in the Fighting Fantasy series of "choose your own adventure" books.
3) Jackson, Steve (Scotland, b. 1969 wrote The Mentor.
5)
6) Lisa Jackson wrote Family Kind of Gal.

Author Disambiguation

No authors suggested.

What?

Q: What is this feature for/why is it necessary?

A: Because LibraryThing draws from so many different libraries, it can't enforce a single name for a given author. "Also known as" lets LibraryThing users combine author's names easily, so collections match up and everything runs smoothly.

Q: Can I combine with an author not suggested above?

A: Yes you can.

Q: I know an author is separate, but my nemesis keeps combining them! Can I take a name off the combination list?
