Rex Butler Brown was raised in the now-resettled island community of Tack’s Beach, King’s Island, Placentia Bay. Today, he lives just up from the wharf in Corner Brook, Bay of Islands. In between, he has taught school and organized cultural events. Lately, he has taken up writing words down. Elaine kept him afloat.
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.
