DragonCon is a huge event that is much like a small city, assembled within a big city, if that small city had to be built and inhabited overnight, and could exist for only four days a year....and if it were populated with an explosively creative citizenry of all ages, including pre-natal and post octogenarian.
There is, every year, a blood drive near the YA track rooms. Vampires line up next to corsetted and begoggled Steam-Punkers, Elves, Zombies, Jokers, Storm Troopers, and the astounding variety of one-of-a-kinders.
I have written over 80 books for K-YA. Many are titles in my middle grade series: American Diaries, Survival, and Hoofbeats. The Unicorn's Secret and The Faeries' Promise series are for young readers. ((excerpts are up on http://www.kathleenduey.com)) Dark, atypical fantasy for teens and adults is my new love. My first YA novel,Skin Hunger, was a 2007 National Book Award finalist. Sacred Scars was released in 2009. The third book in the trilogy is finished and in the production process now.

DragonCon!!!!!!!!!!
Very much looking forward to being at DragonCon in Atlanta Thursday-Monday. So many interesting artists and writers coming and just general Con-goodness!!
YA track schedule: http://www.yalit.dragoncon.org/schedule.html
Whole event info: http://www.dragoncon.org/
I will bring back ideas, artist's cards, adventures in mass transit, worldcab interviews, a worn-out me, and pix.
And will edit The Faeries Promise (Book 2, Wishes) on the plane.
((I owe this trip to Holly Black, Justine Larbalestier, and Scott Westerfeld who were all kind enough (I have been told) to talk up Skin Hunger when they attended DragonCon--thus tagging me on the YA track folks' map.))
They are all remarkable writers.
If you have not seen the trailer for Scott's too, too, cool Leviathan, go now and do so!
If you have not read the incredible thriller LIAR by Justine check it out. here.
Holly's amazing books are here and The White Cat is next up. It is astonishing. Trust me.
