Rafael Shamay was born in Israel in 1965 and spent his childhood in a city by the Mediterranean Sea. His dream was to write stories about archaeological mysteries that interest people in order to give them a different historical perspective.

An engineer by day, and in his spare time, especially on weekends, he writes fictional novels that combine facts and events that really happened. He likes to listen to music and watch suspense films. Sometimes in the evening, he likes to take a walk on a familiar walking route.

He also writes a blog about relevant topics that interest him. He runs a Facebook group of novice writers.
