I’m very happy to see Operation Angus appearing on Bestsellers lists just a week after its release. To all of you who preordered and purchased copies since it was published on August 31, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Operation Angus: Bestsellers List Roundup
Wednesday, September 8th, 2021Update on Albatross as a Bestseller
Friday, August 30th, 2019Albatross continues to hang in there on most bestsellers’ lists. Any way you slice it, I’m one lucky novelist. There should be a shake-up next week with Louise Penny’s new book landing. I suspect she’ll be atop the charts very shortly. But it’s been very nice while it lasted! Anyway, here’s an Albatross bestseller update for the current week:
Albatross now at #3 on Globe Bestseller List
Friday, August 23rd, 2019Last week Albatross entered the Globe and Mail Bestsellers list at #10. One week later (and only two weeks since it was published) the novel has somehow risen to #3. This is very encouraging and I’m thankful for the work of my team at McClelland & Stewart and for the support of readers across the country who have so quickly snapped up Albatross. May it continue at least for a few more weeks!
Globe and Mail reviews Albatross
Monday, August 19th, 2019It’s always nice to make the Globe and Mail! The takeaway line for me in this mini-review:
“This novel has a fable-like quality and philosophical depths that Fallis plumbs with a deceptive subtlety.”
Having seldom been known for being either deceptive or subtle in my writing, I’m very happy with this. It’s still early days, but I’m pleased with how everything is unfolding since the launch of Albatross less than a week ago.
Albatross is a Globe and Mail Bestseller
Friday, August 16th, 2019So thrilled to learn this morning from my wonderful editor at McClelland & Stewart, Bhavna Chauhan, that Albatross has cracked the Globe and Mail Bestsellers list just three days after it hit bookstores. I’m over the moon. Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen so soon after publication. Onwards!
Poles Apart Bestsellers List Roundup
Wednesday, November 11th, 2015In the first few weeks of its life, it’s been very gratifying to see Poles Apart grace a number of bestsellers lists in various positions. I just wanted to note them here for posterity’s sake, as this blog is a kind of digital scrapbook of my writing life. Here’s hoping Poles Apart hangs on for a few more weeks before it inevitably slips off these ever-changing bestsellers lists. I’m grateful to the many readers who have bought the book and helped propel it into these rankings.
Hanging in on the bestsellers list
Monday, July 28th, 2014No Relation has now been on the market for ten weeks. So you can imagine how thrilled I am that for the tenth straight week, it’s still hanging in there on the Globe and Mail Bestsellers list. Honoured, humbled, and grateful.
Week 2: Climbing up the Globe Bestseller List
Sunday, June 1st, 2014I was surprised and delighted to see that No Relation had climbed from number five on last week’s Globe and Mail Bestsellers list to number two this week. Only Joseph Boyden’s The Orenda is ahead of No Relation, and I suspect always will be. I’m honoured to be on the same list with my friend Joseph and his blockbuster book, let alone right next to him. Fingers crossed for next week. My deep thanks to all of you who have kept the buzz and the sales going on the new novel. Onwards…
No Relation a Globe and Mail Bestseller
Saturday, May 24th, 2014It was thrilling to learn yesterday that just three days after being published, No Relation debuted at number five on the Globe and Mail bestsellers list. I well remember when Up and Down was published, it opened at number seven. So this feels good. Of course, it happened because so many friends, family, and yes, perfect strangers, pre-ordered the novel or bought copies this week. I’m blessed and grateful. Thank you, all. Let the touring begin! It’s Creemore today, Thornbury tomorrow, Toronto Monday, Lindsay Tuesday, Toronto again Thursday, then Montreal on Friday. And that’s just the beginning…
Quick Hits…
Monday, March 7th, 2011I just thought I’d do a round up of quick hits today…
Sharing space with Mordecai Richler
A Nova Scotian podcasting friend, Bruce Murray, sent me this Kobo ad last week, noting that I am keeping pretty good literary company these days. I couldn’t agree more. I never expected to see a novel I’d written anywhere near the Mordecai Richler, Leacock-winning classic, Barney’s Version. What a thrill…

Up to #2 on the Globe and Mail Bestseller List
TBLP jumped up to #2 on the Globe and Mail Canadian Fiction Bestsellers List, its highest ranking so far. I don’t think it’ll make it to #1 but I’m over the moon to be sitting at #2 at least for a week.

Ben McNally Books Authors’ Brunch
This past Sunday, I was delighted to be one of four writers speaking at a Ben McNally Books Authors’ Brunch in the beautiful King Edward Hotel. Ben has been a strong supporter for many years and I was very pleased to participate and talk about The High Road. The other authors, Ray Jayawardhana, Ian Hamilton, and John Ralston Saul, were all fascinating and I really enjoyed meeting them and listening to their stories. The event was very well-attended and many books were sold and signed. My thanks to Ben McNally for the invitation and to my intrepid and tireless publicist, Frances Bedford for making the arrangements and giving up a Sunday morning to attend!
