Trevor Steele

He wrote two important books about relationships between the indigenous and non-indigenous populations, Flugi kun kakatuoj (2010)—published in English as Soaring with cockatoos (2012) and in French as Comme un vol d'oiseaux sacrés (2013)—and Paradizo ŝtelita (Paradise stolen, 2012).

He once told Chuck Smith that while his Esperanto books sold steadily and found a ready publisher, he had many more difficulties in marketing his English works.

The first of these imagines Aurelius, a sympathetic but skeptical Roman, writing a biography of Jesus after interviewing witnesses to his life from before the time of Apostle Paul, and thereby provides background to Steele's later book Reluctant Messiah.

At the 82nd World Congress of Esperanto in Adelaide, Steele delivered a lecture about the life and work of the late Patrick White (1912–1990), an accomplished fellow Australian who had won the 1973 Nobel Prize in Literature.

Loving Nora, his English translation of Anja Saskia Beyer's German-language Himbeersommer was also e-published that year (Amazon Digital, 228 pages, ASIN B00IFVXK3U)
