J.S. Dewes

J.S. Dewes continues “The Divide Series” with its second installment, The Exiled Fleet, in which main character Adequin Rake and the Sentinels must escape the edge of the universe (known as The Divide) in order to survive. Dewes is joined by Christopher Paolini, author of “The Inheritance Cycle” and most recently To Sleep in a Sea of Stars. This talk, hosted by A Room of One’s Own, is on Crowdcast; register here for a link.

press release: A Room of One's Own welcomes back J.S. Dewes, author of The Exiled Fleet, for a conversation on Crowdcast with fellow novelist Christopher Paolini, author (most recently) of To Sleep in a Sea of Stars!

J. S. Dewes continues her fast paced, science fiction action adventure with The Exiled Fleet, where The Expanse meets The Black Company. The survivors of The Last Watch refuse to die. The Sentinels narrowly escaped the collapsing edge of the Divide. They have mustered a few other surviving Sentinels, but with no engines they have no way to leave the edge of the universe before they starve. Adequin Rake has gathered a team to find the materials they'll need to get everyone out. To do that they're going to need new allies and evade a ruthless enemy. Some of them will not survive.

After graduating from Columbia College Chicago with a degree in film production, J.S. Dewes went on to serve as cinematographer for independent films, write, produce, and shoot a zombie musical, slay internet dragons, and act as lighting designer for presidents and presidential-hopefuls. She currently resides in Madison, Wisconsin with her husband, who’s proven to be a mixed blessing, but he makes her laugh, so she’s decided to stick it out. They have two dogs (full blessings) and a cat of unpredictable demeanor.

About To Sleep in a Sea of Stars: Kira Navárez dreamed of life on new worlds. Now she's awakened a nightmare. During a routine survey mission on an uncolonized planet, Kira finds an alien relic. At first she's delighted, but elation turns to terror when the ancient dust around her begins to move. As war erupts among the stars, Kira is launched into a galaxy-spanning odyssey of discovery and transformation. First contact isn't at all what she imagined, and events push her to the very limits of what it means to be human. While Kira faces her own horrors, Earth and its colonies stand upon the brink of annihilation. Now, Kira might be humanity's greatest and final hope...
