Shore Leave 42 Guest: Dayton Ward
Dayton Ward is a New York Times bestselling author or co-author of nearly forty novels and novellas, often working with his best friend, Kevin Dilmore. His short fiction has appeared in more than twenty anthologies, and he's written for publications such as NCO Journal, Kansas City Voices, Famous Monsters of Filmland, Star Trek and Star Trek Communicator as well as the websites Tor.com, StarTrek.com, and Syfy.com.
Dayton's latest publication is Jurassic World: The Official Cookbook from Insight Editions. He partnered with food stylist Elena Craig to offer more than 50 recipes inspired by the films, the fictional Jurassic World resort, and the Costa Rican and Central American regions. Though the recipes are real, the book is written in-universe and presented as a "souvenir" you might find at one of Jurassic World's giftshops.
