Whispers From the Gaspe Coast

It is done… another book published!

After several months of research, writing, editing, and re-editing, book formatting, cover design, and re-editing it all over again, it’s finished!

It is a treasure trove collection of stories, about the master shipbuilder James Day, the famous pilot Jacques de Lesseps’ fatal plane crash on the Coast, and Mary Pickett, from Gaspe who survived the Titanic.
​
It includes the story of Prudent Landry, the strong man from St. Omer who travelled all over the world and was in Buffalo Bills Wild West Show and the Barnum and Bailey Circus.

In this collection of stories, we meet the amazing local people like Aunt Bessie from Grand Cascapedia and the artist Tennyson Johnson from Gaspe.
There’s the story a young woman from Nouvelle who became a nun, a teacher and a fascinating storyteller. And of course, there are others.

These are stories about courage, creativity, and resilience, and as I wrote about them, they reminded me of the enduring spirit of what it is to be a Gaspesian.

And in writing it, I learned so much more about what life was for those who came before us here on the Gaspe Coast.
It also made me realize that knowing more about this place that I still call home is, for sure, a very good thing.

The paperback book is now on sale on Amazon and they have chosen to give it a discount because it is a new book. 

I will also have copies for locals and I will be putting some at the Boutique Shop in New Richmond this summer.
