Legend (Area 51 series), page 29
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.
Mayer has presented for over a thousand organizations in the United States and internationally, including keynote presentations, all-day workshops, and multiday seminars. He has taught organizations including Maui Writers, Whidbey Island Writers, San Diego State University, University of Georgia, the Romance Writers of America national convention, 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 Northwest Institute of Literary Arts (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. For more information see www.bobmayer.org.
