Terry Fallis, Novelist

Two years ago Terry, an outstanding humorist, entertained the club with a presentation on the struggles a self-publishing author must accept before his ‘trials by fire’ lead to a publisher’s acceptance.

Since Terry’s 2002 visit he has had several further outstanding achievements. These include, (a) a television series by the CBC based on his book, ‘The Best Laid Plans’, (b) publication of two more books, ‘Up and Down’ and ‘No relation’, (c) delivery of numerous speaking engagements that have kept him busy almost every day and (d) acceptance of five further awards from distinguished associations.

His most recent novel, ‘No Relation’,  has occupied the bestsellers list.

Born and raised in Toronto, Terry worked as an assistant to Cabinet Ministers at Queen's Park and in Ottawa. He now is president of Thornley Fallis Communications, a public relations company.

Terry is the father of two teenagers, and he and his wife live in Toronto

Terry will no doubt go down in Canadian history as Canada’s twenty-first century Stephen Leacock. We are truly honoured to have him join us once again.

September 5 is the first meeting of the fall season. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to invite a guest and introduce that person to Rotary for a most entertaining and delightful luncheon. Why not get pleasure from the good humour of one of Canada’s creative authors and lecturer?
