About this ebook

Samantha Bloodworth, reporter for the Digital Science Times, is on assignment in Antarctica. While covering the maiden flight of a unique experimental aircraft dubbed “the tin kite,” Sam and the pilot, Dupcheck, crash onto the ice and plunge into a deep crevasse. They’re lost, they have no radio and Dupcheck is unconscious.

Freezing and trapped in the crevasse, Sam is near death. Then the famed explorer Shackelton seems to appear to help her survive against the odds. Unsure whether or not this encounter is a hallucination, Sam finds she must trust her own instincts in this deadly location to try and keep Dupcheck and herself alive until help finds them.

About the author

For the past 40 years I have been an illustrator and writer. Being creative is in my blood. As an artist, I have exhibited in The Smithsonian, worked for Warner Bros. and Disney and been able to travel the world with the Air Force creating works of art for the National Archives. With them, I even went as far as McMurdo Base in the Antarctic along with James Cameron.

I live in Florida now where I teach college (Game Art Design for the Art Institute) and do K-9 Search & Rescue with my dog Thor. My dogs show me every day the meaning of love and loyalty. They are the best people!

 My goals are to continue to bring you intriguing and exciting stories to read, and, help find the lost with my dog.
