Son of an American English teacher and a French-speaking mother, editor-in-chief of a daily newspaper. Zac Hopkins grew up in Montreal, Quebec. At age of 17, in 1983, he joined his father in New York and pursued a triple degree in history, English literature, and ancient languages.

For more than ten years, he carried out research during which he studied American presidential history and the impact of the media on society. From his research emerged the themes that are the backdrop for a series of novels. Passionate about his discoveries, he left the academic world and nourished the hope of writing a first novel. Perfectly bilingual, he chooses to write it in French because of the richness of the vocabulary and the Latin origin of the words. He resides in the United States and benefits from a dual American Canadian nationality, he stays regularly in Quebec where he owns a property. Currently, he is focused on writing the Second Volume of the Presidents' Secret trilogy.
