40 Days Of DragonCon 2010 (Day 9) – Mary: Young Adult Literature
Jon and Leigh sit down together again to interview another of DragonCon’s staff.
For this interview it is our pleasure to welcome Mary of the Young Adult Literature and Whedonverse tracks.
Mary is a six year staff veteran first serving on what used to be called the Buffy Track (now Whedonverse) and then splitting her time with the Young Adult Literature track, the topic of our discussion.
We learn all sorts of good stuff about Mary and the Young Adult Lit track. Not the least of which is what guests would make her squeal like a fan-girl if they ever came to Con. There is also a story about Lance Henriksen, but I’ll let you listen to find out about that.
