Would you like to meet the author and perhaps get a copy of Pay the Piper signed? Author Jane Yolen will be in Maryland for FaerieCon 2010 at the Baltimore Marriott Hunt Valley on Saturday November 13. In a conversation session from 3.30 to 4.15pm, Yolen “will share her insights and wisdom on faerie, fantasy and life as an artist.”
