Heather Dawn is the Vice Chair and co-founder of LI-CON, a young convention held annually on Long Island. She studied Anthropology under Dr. John Shea, Dr. Elizabeth Stone, and Dr. David Hicks at Stony Brook University; minored in Art History and Medieval Studies. Her studies focused on world religions (past and present) and ancient arts & culture. She likes old creepy things, the smell of musty books with peeling leather covers, monumental architecture, Edward Gorey, vampires, and tentacles. She’s had a penchant for all things spooky since before she was 8 and can thank her parents for raising her on a steady dose of Rocky Horror, The Twilight Zone, and black and white sci-fi films from the 1950's/60's. She became obsessed with ancient Egypt in the 3rd grade and found horror literature in the library of her elementary school.
Heather moonlights as the vigilante personification (and retired FIRST OFFICER of the Voltaire Signal Corps) of Voltaire’s Candy Claws, spreading candy and cheer to good little boys and girls. She enjoys teaching and sharing her infinite (and often bizarre) knowledge. Heather doesn't believe in "growing up", but if she does she would like to be a magical Liopleurodon.
