Soldotna's John Messick is a writer and an English professor at Kenai Peninsula College.

Soon, he'll be a first-time author, too. Messick's debut book, Compass Lines, is coming out next spring with McCarthy-based Porphyry Press.

We spoke with John about craft, imposter syndrome and his time in the South Pole. Plus, two excerpts from the book.
