TERRY McCONNELL is an author, consultant, and former journalist. Lethbridge: A Tale of Love in a Time of War is his fifth and most recent book. His first book, I’d Trade Him Again, a biography of former Edmonton Oilers’ owner Peter Pocklington, was published in hardcover by the publishing arm of H.B. Fenn, Canada’s largest book distributor, in 2009, and sold throughout Canada and into the U.S. Fenn also published an updated paperback version the following year. Garth Woolsey of the Toronto Star called the book “A lively insider’s read,” while Kevin Allen wrote in USA Today that McConnell and his co-author “wouldn’t let Pocklington spin his tale without checks and balances.” As a memoirist, McConnell also co-wrote two books. The first is Cabbage Brain, the autobiography of a U.K. immigrant who found success and fortune as a builder and then developer in Marin County, California. The other is Law & Disorder, co-authored with the retired District Attorney for Ventura County, California. It’s an account of the DA’s 30-year career fighting cold-blooded killers, mobsters, gang members, second-storey artists, and other lawyers. McConnell’s career in newspapers spanned 38 years and earned him several provincial and national awards of excellence. He was elected president of the Ontario Community Newspapers Association in 1986 and its national counterpart in 1993. His newspapering career concluded in 2011 with the Edmonton Journal, one of Canada’s largest newspapers, where he was an editorial writer and a popular columnist. He later moved to Palm Springs, California, where he worked as a communications consultant. The father of five and grandfather of seven returned to Edmonton with his wife Victoria in 2018.
