Ty Cobb

Legend has it that Ty Cobb gained his love of political intrigue fiction while attending Langley High School, which borders the CIA in the Washington, D.C., suburbs. At that time, his father, Col. Tyrus W. Cobb, PhD, had been called up from his post as a Professor of Soviet Studies at the United States Military Academy, West Point, to serve under President Ronald Reagan as Special Assistant for National Security Affairs. Following Ty’s graduation from law school, he was admitted to the Bar in Nevada and California and volunteered to work for the Department of Defense Coalition Provisional Authority in Baghdad, Iraq. Upon completion of this assignment, Ty served as an Aide in the Office of the Deputy Secretary of Defense in the E Ring of the Pentagon. He was later elected to two terms in the Nevada State Legislature and currently resides in Las Vegas, Nevada, with his daughter, Elizabeth where he works as an author and attorney.
