Jeffrey Marcus Oshins worked on the national security staff of the US Congress, focusing on military sealift. He founded NatPrep, which provides homeland security consulting to domestic and foreign clients. The Gray Anarchist, his sixth published book, draws heavily on his national security experience including work he did in the port of Skikda, Algeria, a year after an explosion in the LNG facility there had flattened much of the port and city. The Gray Anarchist also draws on his political experience from working on the staff of four presidential campaigns and a 2016 run for Congress from the Central Coast of California. As a musician, he records and performs as Apokaful, the band name that originated in his first novel, 12: A Novel About the End of the Mayan Calendar. Oshins grew up in a lakeside home in Northern Virginia - the locale of his 2022 novel, the five-star Readers Favorite, Lake Barcroft. He graduated from the American International School of Vienna where his father was a diplomat. His father retired to a beachfront home in Santa Barbara where Oshins wrote his first book, Hippies in the Andes/Freedom Pure Freedom, a journal/roman à clef based on a backpacking trip through the Andes. The book was translated into Spanish in 2023. After his father’s death, Jeffrey Marcus Oshins organized his father’s papers and revived his father’s unfinished memoir. Published in 2022, All Those Except Those, an Anecdotal Autobiography—humor of the greatest generation, is now in the collections of Presidential and college libraries.
