When he's not sitting at his computer building websites for national institutions and international companies, Steve Turnbull can be found sitting at his computer building new worlds of steampunk, science fiction and fantasy. Technically Steve was born a cockney but at the age of five he was moved out from London to the suburbs where he grew up and he talks posh now. He's been a voracious reader of science fiction and fantasy since his early years, but it was poet Laurie Lee's autobiography "Cider with Rosie" (picked up because he was bored in Maths) that taught him the beauty of language and spurred him into becoming a writer, aged 15. He spent twenty years editing and writing for computer magazines while writing poetry on the side. He moved into screenwriting ten years ago and, after achieving some success, he met the Director, Chris Payne, who provided the original inspiration for the Voidships steampunk universe. The rest is alternate history. You can read more Voidships books by going to http://bit.ly/steve-turnbull
