The Halifax Morning Chronicle, April 5, 1873: "Who she was, and where she came from, and why she chose such a life of hardship never was, and never will be known." Until now, 150 years later!!
Lynette Richards has uncovered the fascinating story of Bill, a sailor on the ill-fated SS Atlantic. Bill is buried in the mass grave in Terence Bay NS with the hundreds of other victims. Meet the author/illustrator of Call Me Bill, a YA (young adult) graphic novel! Reading, book signing, and original artwork displayed.
Lynette has been cartooning her whole life. She chose Stained Glass as her professional medium because it was both a trade and an art that has used sequential narration for over 1000 years!
Lynette lives and works in Terence Bay Nova Scotia. She owns and operates Rose Window-Stained Glass and is a Craft Nova Scotia Master Artisan. She served on the Board of Directors of the SS Atlantic Heritage Park and Society for six years.
