From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
Lucy Autrey Wilson is the Director of Publishing for Lucasfilm. She initially came up with the idea of a multi-book story arc going beyond a trilogy, an idea which eventually was used in the New Jedi Order series.
The appearance of the character Mahd Windcaller in Crimson Empire II: Council of Blood was based on her.
