Steve Matthews was born in the UK in 1953, migrating to Australia in 1985. At the age of 55 he sold his business interests to fulfill a lifetime’s ambition to write professionally. Since then, Steve’s acclaimed children’s books have been published in Australia, UK, Canada and the US, and his work in children’s literacy at home and abroad (in India and South Africa) has been acknowledged in the Australian State Parliament. The Skinny Girl (Highlight Publishing) was Steve’s first novel for adults, followed by the Historical Fiction trilogy (Big Sky Publishing), Hitler’s Brothel (2020), Hitler’s Assassins (2021) and Hitler’s Resurrection (2022). Hitler’s Brothel has been translated into Italian and Hungarian, and world audio rights to Hitler’s Brothel and Hitler’s Assassins have been acquired by Wavesound (Audible). Steve mainly writes about the strength of women during adversity and about social injustice. He works from a 100-year-old cottage in the grounds of the farm he shares with his wife Diane and two donkeys, outside Sydney.
