JS Dewes is a multi-talented author, cinematographer, and video editor. She has a film production degree from Columbia College and has written scripts for award-winning feature films and shorts that have been screened at conventions and festivals across the US. Dewes is a creative individual who enjoys Pinterest, video games, graphic design, drawing, photography, and all things visual.
Before becoming a bestselling author, Dewes worked a variety of strange jobs. As a freelance cinematographer, she worked on numerous independent horror movies, a zombie musical, anti-drug PSAs, and commercials for buffalo ranches. Her most unusual job came in 2010 when she became the lighting director for the first lady, vice presidential, and presidential speeches. This job took her to various locations, including high school gyms, nuclear submarine shipyards, and atomic laboratories. She also had the opportunity to work with the Secret Service and learned about drape and pipe, which now enables her to pack a TSA-approved bag.
In addition to her work as an author, Dewes writes for triple-A science fiction video games at Humanoid Studios. She is also an active user of social media and can be found on Twitter at @jsdewes or on her website jsdewes.com. Dewes has written three books set in the Divide universe, including The Last Watch and its sequel, The Exiled Fleet, and her latest book, Rubicon, which was released on March 28, 2023. Her stories set in the Divide universe can also be found on her Patreon.
