Jackson Ford

Jackson Ford is the kind of writer who doesn’t just break the rules—he tosses them out a window, sets them on fire, and then makes you laugh while watching them burn. Under this pseudonym, South African author and journalist Rob Boffard lets loose with the Frost Files, a genre-blurring rollercoaster of science fiction, psychic powers, and relentless, razor-sharp humor. The series stars Teagan Frost, a telekinetic with a chip on her shoulder and a knack for finding trouble in every corner of Los Angeles, all while cracking jokes you’ll still be laughing at three chapters later.
Before conjuring up high-octane telekinetic mayhem, Ford sharpened his storytelling skills as a journalist, writing for outlets like The Guardian, Wired, and the BBC. That background brings a kind of grounded intensity to his fiction—his worlds feel lived-in, his action precise, and his dialogue as fast and cutting as a live-wire exchange on deadline day.
