Lopresti, Albert John

Born in Shrewsbury, New Jersey, Al moved to the West Coast in 1970, taking with him his fascination with history, World War II in particular. When not working in the mortgage business, he enjoys traveling, visiting historical towns and museums, antique car shows, and playing computer games with his old friends. The first-time author, 60, has combined his historical knowledge with his computer-game savvy to craft a novel that prominently includes both elements. Currently unmarried, he has a son, Peter, and two grandsons, Hunter and Dylon. He resides in Lake Forest, California.
