My husband and I had a great time at Dragon Con this year. My two sisters and my niece went as well.
Why go? I love the costumes, yes, but I love the various tracks created for writers. It’s a great way to network, learn about what’s happening in YA, Urban Fantasy and Fantasy literature.
I have yet to make it to Comic Con, but look forward to braving that one day. Here are some photos from previous Dragon Con years.
