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 after five years he was moved out from London to the suburbs where he grew up and he talks posh now.

Q: When is a dragon not a dragon?

I'm not going to answer that question directly because it's very naughty.

When we think of dragons we're usually all about the fantasy and the magic and the completely improbably breathing of fire. I mean, seriously, what kind of evolutionary rabbit hole did dragons dive down to end up breathing fire? And where does all that energy come from.

Yeah. I'm a scientist. And, apart from anything else, d

Quotes by Steve Turnbull (?)

“Chaos is easy. Order is hard.”
― Steve Turnbull, The Dragons of Esternes Books One - Four

“Would I be right in thinking you’ve been attacked by a Zeppelin crewed by German airmen?” The entire group looked astonished. “How did you know?” said the mayor. “We’ve been on their tail for a while.” Khuwelsa put her hand over her face to hide her smile at Harry’s exaggerated account of the situation. The mayor looked at Harry, then Khuwelsa, then the Pegasus. “You’re chasing them?”
