About Author Stephen Dafoe
Stephen Dafoe is the author of several books on the Knights Templar and the Freemasons.
He is perhaps best known for the two books that he co-wrote with Alan Butler in the late 1990s. These books were The Warriors and the Bankers, re-published by Lewis Masonic in 2006 and The Knights Templar Revealed, re-published by Constable and Robinson in the same year.
Stephen has stepped away from the speculative style of his earlier books and concentrated on a more straightforward historical approach in recent years.
His research has been published in The Scottish Rite Journal, Heredom (the Transactions of the Scottish Rite Research Society), The Scottish Rite Journal, Templar History Magazine, Knight Templar Mgazine and Masonic Magazine.
Dafoe's latest book, The Compasses and the Cross is a look at the history and evolution of the Masonic Knights Templar, and is an illustrated volume like his critically acclaimed 2007 release, Nobly Born: An Illustrated History of the Knights Templar.
Dafoe was born in Belleville, Ontario in 1962 and spent the first 40 years of his life in that province. He moved to Alberta in November of 2002 and now resides in a rural community north of Edmonton.
