About the Author
Bob Mayer is a West Point Graduate, Former
Green Beret, CEO of Cool Gus Publishing and a NY Times Bestselling Author. He
has sold over four million books, and is in demand as a team-building,
life-changing, and leadership speaker and consultant for his Who Dares Wins: The
Green Beret Way concept. He is also the Co-Creator of Cool Gus Publishing. Bob
Mayer grew up in the Bronx. After high school, he entered West Point where he
learned about the history of our military and our country. During his four years
at the Academy and later in the Infantry, Mayer questioned the idea of "mission
over men." When he volunteered and passed selection for the Special Forces as a
Green Beret, he felt more at ease where the men were more important than the
mission. Mayer's obsession with mythology and his vast knowledge of the military
and Special Forces, mixed with his strong desire to learn from history, is the
foundation for his science fiction series Atlantis, Area 51 and Psychic Warrior.
Mayer is a master at blending elements of truth into all of his thrillers,
leaving the reader questioning what is real and what isn't. He took this same
passion and created thrillers based in fact and riddled with possibilities. His
unique background in the Special Forces gives the reader a sense of authenticity
and creates a reality that makes the reader wonder where fact ends and fiction
begins. In his historical fiction novels, Mayer blends actual events with
fictional characters. He doesn't change history, but instead changes how history
came into being. Mayer's military background, coupled with his deep desire to
understand the past and how it affects our future, gives his writing a rich
flavor not to be missed. Bob has presented for over a thousand organizations
both in the United States and internationally. He has taught organizations
ranging from Maui Writers, to Whidbey Island Writers, to San Diego State
University, to the University of Georgia, to the Romance Writers of America
National Convention, to Boston SWAT, the CIA, Fortune-500, the Royal Danish Navy
Frogman Corps, Microsoft, Rotary, IT Teams in Silicon Valley and many others. He
has also served as a Visiting Writer for NILA MFA program in Creative Writing.
He has done interviews for the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Sports Illustrated,
PBS, NPR, the Discovery Channel, the SyFy channel and local cable shows.
