​Oshri lives in Israel, and prefers to remain anonymous. When I (Cristina Olsen) was working as his editor, he put my name on the cover instead of his. Of course, this didn't sit well with me, so he relented but still kept my name as editor on the copyright page, yet still refusing to put his own name on the cover page. So the least I can do is make a place for him on this webpage. You will notice that on the Home page and the Book Samplings page you have the option to purchase his book by selecting it on the scroll down icon and adding it to the cart.

You can also visit Oshri's website, read the first two chapters, and purchase his book directly from him:
