But we all start somewhere, and we all have our own learning curves. I trunked it for some time and have since edited it and may query it again, selectively, because it was an interesting premise… But back then, I was a total noob… Of course, in some ways I still am. It doesn’t even beat Nanowrimo standards. So much that I queried it very very very widely. Tell us about one of your writing disappointments or failures. Hernandez-and another fantasy- The Frozen Crown by Greta Kelly. Berger and One Day as a Lion by Jonathan E. I have a huge to be read pile… But at the top of the list right now is a fantasy- Lodestone by Katherine Forrester-two science fiction books- First Light by Casey E. Tell us what you’re looking forward to reading. Grams Bobbi just looked at me and told me to take it with me. I was near tears because I didn’t want to leave without finishing the book. I still remember one of the last visits I was reading The Dispossessed, and I hadn’t finished. But books were my jam, and I adored my grandmother’s books. She would have rather I were outside playing with my cousins than inside reading. I devoured those books every summer, much to my mother’s consternation. LeGuin, Anne McCaffery, Mercedes Lackey, and a couple others. The biggest collections that I remember she had were Ursula K. Well, ends up my grams Bobbi was a big science fiction and fantasy fan. I read a lot as a kiddo, and I grew up visiting my mom’s parents in Bellingham, WA, over the summers. Were you an avid reader as a child? What kinds of things did you read? She loves to make costumes, cosplay, and occasionally she plays D&D or MTG with teacher-friends during summer vacation.įOLLOW AJ online on her Website, Twitter and Instagram Currently, she lives in Kansas with her husband who is a High School Graphic Arts Teacher and two fuzz-brained kittiots. She has been an author since she was old enough to write (and illustrate) a stapled-together ABC book, which she still has packed away in a box of childhood memorabilia.

NASA Earth Observatory image by Jesse Allen, using data from NASA/GSFC/METI/ERSDAC/JAROS, and U.S./Japan ASTER Science Team. The action of sea water sculpts the jagged edges. The ice tongue is estimated to stand just 10 meters above the water line, but it does not thaw much during the summer melt season. With its serrated edges, the 11-kilometer-long ice tongue is the leading edge of a glacier that starts on the volcano’s flanks. To the south, the Erebus ice tongue stretches out into McMurdo Sound. The Mount Erebus stratovolcano rises 3794 meters (12,447 feet) above sea level. A key part of New Zealand’s Antarctic research program, Scott Base, is also nearby on the peninsula. The largest Antarctic settlement-McMurdo Station, operated by the United States-stands within sight of the volcano (about 40 kilometers or 25 miles away). Scientists are still observing the volcano through the Mount Erebus Volcano Observatory and field campaigns to look for extreme life forms. Members of Ernest Shackleton’s expedition climbed to the summit in 1908. The lava lake stands out amidst the mostly shadowed interior of the caldera, as do areas on the island where bare rock is exposed to sunlight instead of being buried under snow and ice.Įxplorer James Clark Ross and his crew first sailed past the island in 1841 and caught a glimpse of Mount Erebus erupting. The second image uses just thermal infrared wavelengths and reveals where the landscape is warmer (bright white) or cooler (black). The top image is built from a combination of infrared, red, and green wavelengths of light. On December 31, 2013, the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) on NASA’s Terra satellite acquired images of the western end of Ross Island in mid-summer. Mount Erebus is thought to be the southernmost active volcano in the world. At least one lava lake has churned within its caldera since 1972. It regularly emits plumes of gas and steam, and occasionally spits out rock (bombs) in strombolian eruptions. The volcano sits above a thin slice of crust, so molten rock more easily rises up from Earth’s interior. Erebus is still active, providing a rare bit of warmth in an extremely cold environment. Standing just off the coast of West Antarctica, Ross Island was built by the activity of four volcanoes. Near Mount Erebus, the water is frozen but the rock is liquid.
