John Killdeer is the pen name used by a bestselling American author of non-fiction and fiction books, David L. Robbins. The author has written over three hundred novels under his real name and a variety of house names among them: Jon Sharpe, David Thompson, Jake McMasters, Ralph Compton, and Franklin W. Dixon, J.D. Cameron and John Killdeer. He is a member of Science Fiction, Western Writers of America and Fantasy Writers of America, and the Horror Writers Association.

Killdeer was born and raised in Pennsylvania, and until he was eight years old, he resided in an outlying area of Philadelphia. He spent many of his teenage years on a farm owned by his uncle and aunt in Pennsylvania Dutch country. Water was brought in to the farm from an outdoor pump. At the age of 17, Killdeer was enlisted in the US Air Force and became a sergeant. After an ethical discharge, he attended college and ventured into broadcasting. He worked as an engineer and an announcer and later as a program director at several radio stations and later ventured into law enforcement and then took to writing full-time.

John Killdeer has at one time, or another lived in Texas, Pennsylvania, Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, and the Pacific Northwest. He spent a year in Europe traveling through Italy, France, Germany, and Greece and had lived for more than a year in Turkey. Pulp Rack and other publishers have critically praised Killdeer’s writing. John suffers from familial hemiplegic migraine, and his dad had the same disease and would often isolate himself for days in order to recover. His eyes are susceptible to light, and for many years he has worn custom prescription sunglasses to reduce the rates of the attacks.

Under his real name David Robbins, Killdeer is famously known for his long-running series Endworld, a science fiction series that debuted in 1986 and consist of over 40 novels with more books being published. Wilderness is a generational saga of a Mountain Man and his wife. Robins began publishing the series in 1990 under the pen name David Thompson, and the series consists of over 70 novels. The author has since stopped using house names on his own work, and the series is currently published under his real name.
