About the author

Steve Matthews was born in the UK in 1953, migrating to Australia in 1985. At the age of fifty-five, he sold his business interests to fulfill a lifetime’s ambition to write full time. Since then, Steve’s children’s books have been published in Australia, the UK, Canada and the USA, and his work in children’s literacy at home and abroad has been acknowledged in the Australian State Parliament. Steve's first book for adults, The Skinny Girl was based upon a true story of domestic abuse and has generated over $22,000 in donations for organisations helping victims of abuse and violence. Hitler's Brothel was Steve's first venture into historical fiction, and it has become an Australian best seller, being published in several languages. Hitler's Assassins is book two in a trilogy that examines the strength of women during WWII. Book three, Hitler's Resurrection will be published in 2022.
