Who says you can’t write a book? In his 70’s, Terry’s passion for trains lead him down an unfamiliar path as he took on the task of writing a sentimental account of his early years in Banff, Alberta. His story begins in the beautiful Canadian Rockies at the Banff Train Station — his first real home.

From inspiration to publication, Terry brings us through the process of what it was like to write his first book, “When Trains Ruled the Rockies: My Life at the Banff Railway Station”.

In this Episode

  • How the renovation of a beloved landmark triggered the need for Terry to write (1:29).
  • Getting started: the struggle of knowing absolutely nothing about writing a book (3:36).
  • Research: finding facts, dates, and details on the history of tourism in Banff (4:39).
  • Writing: the hardest part of the process (8:15).
  • Discipline: establishing a routine (12:00).
  • Publishing: the art of writing a proposal and understanding the process (14:49).
  • Reality hits: the realization that a published book is on the horizon (18:49).
  • Write your book: key takeaways for the listener who wants to write a book (21:49).
  • What’s next for Terry? (24:27)
