“I've always said the hardest aspect of
the job of being a writer is writing.
Writing is a lonely profession.”
– Bob Mayer
Born on Oct. 21, 1959, Mayer is a West
Point graduate, former Green Beret, bestselling author, much sought-after
speaker, and the CEO of Cool Gus Publishing.
He has authored over 60 novels in multiple genres, selling more than 4
million books, including three #1 series: Area 51, Atlantis, and The
Green Berets.
Mayer's
prolific writing encompasses both his military experience and his fascination
for history, legends and mythology, though most of his novels reside within the
realm of science fiction, Young Adult and suspense. He also has had a successful foray into
romance writing, coming up with an interesting combination of military/romance
tales. Not only did it succeed, but he
now is the only male writer to reach the Romance Writers of America Honor Roll.
A
native of New York City, Mayer now makes his home in Tennessee and despite his
ongoing success he said he understands why writers are faced with “issues” when
they put pen to paper – or fingers to keyboards. 
“Completing
any writing project, particularly a novel, is a daunting prospect. Many people
become frozen by the prospect. Others keep waiting for the right time. Some
wait for the spark of inspiration. Even experienced writers find it is easier
to do anything other than actually write.”
