J.R. Waterbear is the pen name of authors John Pulver and Robert Jablon. Both hail from Southern California and have hiked, kayaked, scuba-dived and surfed their way from Alaska to Mexico which influenced some scenes in Killswitch.
Pulver's fiction has appeared in several publications, and he is the host of The Natural Muse, a group that connects authors with the joy and inspiration of writing from nature.
Jablon is a former journalist for The Associated Press who recently retired to the south of France.
Killswitch deals with issues that have long fascinated the authors: alienation; the tension between morality and survival, and the struggle to achieve self-discovery, especially in a conformist, social media-driven culture.
