Born in Waterbury, Connecticut, his father was a Methodist minister and later a general church officer. Steele briefly served in the U.S. Marine Corps (1918-1919), but did not see overseas action. In 1955, he was employed by the Los Angeles Times and, in this position, began investigating the career of the famous American evangelist preacher Aimee Semple McPherson. The story of her 1926 so-called kidnapping affair was told in Steele’s book The Vanishing Evangelist, first published in 1959, which marked the first time Steele used the pseudonym Lately Thomas. His other publications included Storming Heaven (1970), A Pride of Lions (1971), and When Even Angels Wept: the Senator Joseph McCarthy Affair (1973). Steele died in 1977.view less
