Don't Leave in a Huff

After being away an entire week most of which was without internet access, I arrived home to a  facebook message informing of the following:
Halifax-born fantasy writer Tanya Huff will be a featured guest at Hal-Con 2017.  Hal-Con is self-described as the biggest, geekiest sci-fi, fantasy and gaming convention in Atlantic Canada,  running September 22-24 in Halifax.

Note the following excerpts from her wiki page (English version):

So venturing to the Blood Ties wiki page I come across one actress who stands out

The inner twin world are renown for generating "Timely" events such as this "September 4(x2)" pattern-cluster.

As for the surname Huff... which also grabbed my immediate attention, note the etymology:
  • huff (n.) Look up huff at Dictionary.com1590s, "a puff of wind," also "a swell of sudden anger or arrogance," from huff (v.). To leave in a huff is recorded from 1778. 
  • Huff:.. originates from the pre 7th century word 'hoh.' This apparently literally meant 'hell', but used in a transferred sense to describe a projecting ridge of land or a hollow...
