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.
