Terry Fallis, Novelist

The COVID 19 virus has changed everything. Many literary festivals, book clubs, library readings, and other gatherings where I’d been booked to speak and read have, for very good reason, been cancelled. So the list of appearances is thinner in the last three years than in the pre-pandemic days. But we’ll all be back when we’ve slayed the Corona Virus. Stay safe.
