Filmmaker and science fiction author J. S. Dewes stops by to talk about her space opera debut, The Last Watch.

Jen started out as a freelancer in the independent film industry before the volatility led her to choose different paths, which also included writing fan fiction for “Dragon Age 2” and “Fallout 4” before diving into writing her own stories.

She considers The Last Watch mostly as “Night’s Watch in Space” (for those Game of Thrones fans), and the characters in this situation evolved organically based on inspirations from a mix of military and prison personalities… and song lyrics. The sequel, The Exiled Fleet, will be out August 17, 2021.

And for the curious, here’s Jen’s playlist for The Last Watch:
