Dayton Ward

When he’s not writing, Dayton Ward is a software developer, having become a slave to Corporate America after spending eleven years in the U.S. Marine Corps. When asked, he’ll tell you that he joined the military soon after high school because he’d grown tired of people telling him what to do all the time.

If you get the chance, be sure to ask him how well that worked out.

In addition to the numerous credits he shares with friend and co-writer Kevin Dilmore, Dayton is the author of the Star Trek novel In the Name of Honor and the science fiction novels The Last World War and The Genesis Protocol, as well as short stories in the first three Star Trek: Strange New Worlds anthologies, QPB Presents the World’s Best Shortest Stories, Kansas City Voices Magazine, the Yard Dog Press anthology Houston, We’ve Got Bubbas, DownInTheCellar.com, and the Star Trek: New Frontier anthology No Limits.

Dayton currently lives in Kansas City with his wife Michi and daughter Addison, where he serves on the personal staff of two mixed labs named Whistle n' Dixie. While he was born and raised in sunny Florida and has lived all over the country and even overseas, he maintains a torrid long distance romance with his beloved Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
