“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. – Bob Mayer
Born in The Bronx, New York on Oct.
21, 1959, Mayer is a prolific author of more than 60 novels in multiple
genres. And, when I say “multiple
genres,” that includes Romance where he holds the distinction of being the only
male author on the Romance Writers of America Honor Roll.
He began his writing career in 1991
with the bestselling Green Beret novel Eyes of the Hammer and has never
looked back. His latest, in the “Wil
Kane series” is 2024’s Shelter From The Storm.
A graduate of West Point and former
Green Beret himself, he encompasses both his military experience and his
fascination for history, legends and mythology in his writing. And, collaborating with Romance writer
Jennifer Cruise, he did a series of military-themed romance novels starting
with Don’t Look Down and the New York Times number one bestseller
Agnes and the Hitman.
While getting the work done hasn’t
seemed to be a problem for Mayer, he notes that for most writers it can become
a long process.
“It takes hundreds of days to get
to 'The End.' As a writer, you have to
be ready to put in those hundreds of days.”
