Alex Hickey

Alex Hickey is an arts educator, visual artist, and author who worked extensively within the Newfoundland and Labrador education system. He is an avid historian, researcher, photographer, community activist, and a supporter of heritage preservation and tourism development. Alex has made it a lifelong passion to know the history, people, events, and stories of Fortune Bay.

In recent years, he has focused on creative writing. He has been chronicling community life through photographs and words in order to bring alive some of the nearly forgotten stories of the south coast of Newfoundland.

His blog, All Things St. Jacques, chronicles and tells the stories of St. Jacques, his home community. Alex has published in professional education journals and magazines and edited fiction collections. This is his third book. Misfortune Bay: The Loss of the Albatross was followed by Evening Star: The Final Voyage of the Schooner Hesperia.

About Flanker Press
Turning pages since 1994

Flanker Press is a bright spark in the Newfoundland and Labrador publishing scene. As the province’s most active publisher of trade books, the company now averages twenty new titles per year, with a heavy emphasis on regional non-fiction and historical fiction.

The mission of Flanker Press is to provide a quality publishing service to the local and regional writing community and to actively promote its authors and their books in Canada and abroad.

Now located in Paradise, Flanker Press has grown from a part-time venture in 1994 to a business with eight full-time employees. In the fall of 2004, Flanker Press launched a new imprint, Pennywell Books. This imprint includes literary fiction, short stories, young adult fiction, and children’s books.
