Steve "You're gonna need a bigger boat" Turnbull @taupress.com Β· Oct 14
Introductory post

Web developer by day, coding for over 50 years.

The rest of the time I'm a writer of fantasy, SF, Steampunk and Erotica stories mostly with queer MCs.

As a hobby I like to create 3D renders using DazStudio. (Example below.)

I have no time for bigots of any type.

When a world is broken who or what can put it back together? Not Miralees she's just an acrobat with her family troupe but is that all?

My latest books cartoon for Guardian Books #bookcops
Title: #BOOKCOPS Panel One: A uniformed officer approaches a man sittiong at at a bar, he is reading and has a glass of red wine: "Sir, I have reason to believe that you are engaged in "Performative reading" in a public space." Panel Two: "There's been a mistake, officer! I'm perusing the menu. I'm very indecisive!" says the man anxiously The officer says: "Perhaps I can assist, sir. I'm something of a "Foodie" myself." Panel Three: "No need. I've decided!" says the man looking terrified "Let me see that!" says ther officer as he grabs the menu. "As I suspected: 'Infinite Jest' Concealed inside a fake menu!" Panel Four: "It's a first offence, so I'm only going to shame you on social media." says the officer "Next time I'll throw the book at you!" The man sobs.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are standing on the opposite sides of Blue's car, which is covered in snow. Both foxes are holding ice scrapers, with the snow brush side up. Green: You clear the snow on your side, and I'll do this one. Blue: Sure. The snow that Green is brushing off the car gets blown by the wind, landing right onto Blue's face. Green looks startled. Green: Oh, sorry! The wind caught it! Suddenly turning to blow the opposite way as Blue tries to brush the snow off the car, the snow gets caught by the wind and blows directly on Green's face. Blue looks equally apologetic. The wind changes direction again, now somehow blowing into both directions, to blow snow on both foxes' eyes. Green: Aaah! Blue: How?!
