Kevin Dilmore

Still reeling from the knowledge that Star Trek was a live-action series before it was a Saturday-morning cartoon, Kevin Dilmore is continually grateful for his professional involvement on the fiction and the non-fiction sides of the Star Trek universe for nearly a decade.

Since 1997, he has been a contributing writer to Star Trek Communicator, penning news stories and personality profiles for the bimonthly publication of the Official Star Trek Fan Club. He has written for magazines including Amazing Stories, Star Wars Kids and FLIcK. Kevin’s interviews with some of Star Trek’s most popular authors appear in volumes of the Star Trek Signature Editions, published by Pocket Books.

On the fictional side of things, his short stories include “The Road to Edos” in the Star Trek: New Frontier anthology No Limits and “Home on the Strange,” the first installment of Reality Cops: The Continuing Adventures of Vale and Mist for Phobos Books. With Dayton Ward, he has written the Star Trek: The Next Generation novels A Time to Sow and A Time to Harvest, a story for the anthology Star Trek: Tales of the Dominion War, eight installments of the continuing e-book series Star Trek: S.C.E. and the short story "Enemy Unknown!" for Rocket League—The Thrilling Roleplaying Game by Playus Maximus.

Their coming works include the novel Summon the Thunder, the second in the Star Trek: Vanguard series of books (July 2006), as well as the e-books Distant Early Warning (Star Trek: S.C.E. No. 64—Summer 2006), Our Most Noble Intentions (Book One in the six-part Mere Anarchy series of e-books to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the original Star Trek—September 2006) and Turn the Page (the first in the renamed Star Trek: Corps of Engineers series—December 2006) ... and other projects to be named later. Hey, they can't give everything away, now!

A graduate of the University of Kansas, Kevin lives in Prairie Village, Kansas, with his wife, Michelle, and their three daughters. By day, he works as a writer for Hallmark Cards in Kansas City, Mo. No, this doesn't mean he can get you free greeting cards.
