I was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1951, and raised there and in the area as well. Since I was a child, I've always wanted to be an automotive designer, but in my late teens, a certain landmark film changed all that! In 1968 I saw "2001" A Space Odyssey", the movie that changed everyone's vision of the future of space travel and the look of sci-fi movies forever. I was flabbergasted, and immediately immersed myself in a project to emulate that film's story.The result was the precursor to "The Last Voyage Of The Cassiopeia", now available in print form at Amazon.com, in eBook form from Mobiipocket.com and various other eBook sites and through my own website, www.lastvoyageofthecassiopeia.com ("Stephen Turner's Cassiopiea Web Site") where you can link to Mobipocket.com, as well as other eBook sites,. I'm also a photographer and graphic artist, and examples of my work in these fields can also be seen at my website, along with excerpts from "Last Voyage" and its three already-written sequels.
