Jen Lyon is an award-winning screenwriter and speculative fiction author who believes the best stories ask hard questions—and then set the cosmos on fire to answer them. Her debut novel, DESCEND, blends layered mythology and razor-sharp humor into a saga where real science meets sci-fi/fantasy. DESCEND explores redemption, cosmic law, and the strange resilience of the human soul.

​

A lifelong storyteller, she has written short films that have earned dozens of international awards and premiered on platforms like Amazon Prime and Hulu. Her work is known for its rich dialogue, tightly plotted arcs, and characters who feel like they’ve lived a thousand lives—and maybe have.

​

When not building multi-dimensional systems of death and rebirth, she spends her time renovating her farmhouse, traveling, and kayaking. She believes love is rare, loss is inevitable, and that everyone should have the opportunity to tell their story.

​

She currently lives in the Berkshires with her German Shepherd, Klaus—who inspired Bunny, her most beloved demon.
