I've been and come back from a little trip over to Ireland to attend Octocon (and do a very, VERY whistle-stop tour of Dublin ) which was absolutely brilliant and I got to meet some very, very lovely people (and spend a lot of time in the corner tonguetied because, seriously, not just lovely people but awesome ones) but the trip was far too short.

Still (just about!) in September, this month's Writer Wednesday is another foray into non-fiction, with a book about Baltic resistance against the Nazis and Soviets, by Dan Kaszeta. What is it? As the book's subtitle says, it describes what was going on in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, from the end of WWI, when all three states became independent countries after a period of rule by Tsarist Russia, to the middle of the 1950s, when all three were incorporated into the USSR and armed resistance functionally ended.

Just squeezing into September, this month's Friday Fiction once more takes a trip to the park, where Lucas isn't at all keen on returning for another year of school, but discovering that there's more to being a naturalist than just liking ducks might sweeten the deal! Read Back to School Happy reading! 🙂
