Alois J. Lohn
Al Lohn was born in 1934 on the outskirts of Cologne Germany and educated in the art of apparel manufacturing. He worked until 1956 in his fathers business. In November 1956, he immigrated to the USA with his parents and younger brother. Drafted thirteen months later, he served in the US Army for two years stationed in Germany where he met his wife.
After a fifty year career in the apparel industry, he retired as corporate vice-president from the Spiegel group and turned to writing to fill his ample leisure time.
His extensive travel during his 50 year career took him around the world to all five continents. The travels gained him a deep understanding of the world’s cultures as well as their trials and tribulations. This, combined with his experience growing up in a war-torn country during World War II, and his military service, gave him enough stories and imagination to spin the yarn for his novels.
Al Lohn has five published novels to his credit, the sixth in editing, and the seventh, a sequel to number six, in process.
He resides in New Jersey with his wife of fifty-five years where they enjoy their children and three grandchildren.
