Join Muskoka Authors Association on Thursday, October 13, as they welcome guest speaker and best-selling author, Terry Fallis. Fallis will discuss the creation of his most recent novel, Operation Angus and hold a Q & A on the business of writing and promotion.

In Operation Angus, the author resurrects his character, Angus McLintock, an accidental Member of Parliament who has won re-election and now sits as the Minister of State for International Relations. In his new position, he receives a cryptic, late-night text directing him to a pub in London. Angus is instructed that the meeting must be kept secret as must the source of the information, an M16 agent. What follows for Angus and his Chief of Staff, Daniel Addison, is a madcap cloak-and-dagger adventure filled with humour and heart.

Terry Fallis is a Canadian writer and public relations consultant. He is a two-time winner of the Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal for Humour, winning in 2008 for his debut novel The Best Laid Plans that was later adapted as a six-part CBC-Television miniseries, as well as a stage musical and in 2015 for No Relation, an award for which five of his published novels to date have been shortlisted. The High Road was a Leacock Medal finalist in 2011. Up and Down was the winner of the 2013 Ontario Library Association Evergreen Award and was a finalist for the 2013 Leacock Medal. His fifth, Poles Apart, hit bookstores in October 2015, was a Globe and Mail bestseller and was a finalist for the 2016 Leacock Medal. One Brother Shy was released in May 2017 and became an instant bestseller. The Canadian Booksellers Association named Terry Fallis the winner of the 2013 Libris Award as Author of the Year. He is the author of eight best-selling novels.

In Person Meeting Location: Bracebridge Centre for Active Living, 54 Dominion Street, Bracebridge, lower level.

Six-time JUNO Award winning singer-songwriter Johnny Reid has just released his brand new full length album, Love Someone via Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company. Love Someone is available digitally as well as on CD and 2LP 180 Gram Vinyl, stream or order the album HERE.

Love Someone is the artist’s eleventh album and features 14-tracks in which Reid leans into his country roots. The album marks the artist’s most intimate and inspired collection of songs to date. True to Reid’s wide range of repertoire, the album is a refreshing blend of country, pop and soulful ballads. Highlights include the album’s lead single, the pop country track, “Hey Delilah,” the beautifully heartfelt, “I Owe It All To You,” and “Have A Little Faith In Me” a cover of the John Hiatt classic. As a bonus, the album includes a special acoustic version of Reid’s moving song, “People Like You,” dedicated to the people of Nova Scotia after the devastating tragedy that hit their tight knit community in April 2020. In his new video series, Reid shares the stories behind Love Someone and reveals his songwriting process. Watch Take Some Time, Love Someone: The Stories Behind The Music HERE.

“Love Someone is a call to action,” says Reid. “The pandemic has taught us all a lot about the significance of time and how we spend it. We need to look out for each other now more than ever. ‘Roll your windows down, feel the sun, take some time, love someone.’”

Next up for the multi-platinum artist is a long-awaited live tour. The Love Someone National Tour is set to be one of the longest running Canadian tours in history, with tour dates and details being announced later this year. The extensive tour will go cross-country, mainly in small theatres in secondary markets, something Reid has wanted to do for quite some time as an opportunity to connect with his audience through storytelling on a more intimate level. 

Over an illustrious career spanning more than two decades, JUNO Award winning singer-songwriter Johnny Reid has captured the hearts of fans and audiences around the world. The critically acclaimed singer is widely known for his lyrical honesty and musical ability, as demonstrated by a vast catalogue of hit songs, platinum selling albums, 26 Canadian Country Music Awards, six JUNO Awards and multiple sold-out national arena tours.
