Biography
Andrea Kikuchi is a writer and teacher. Born and brought up in Hampton, New Brunswick, she graduated from the University of New Brunswick (UNB) with a degree in Politics. She also received her diploma in Community Services from the Nova Scotia Community College. She was a counsellor in several capacities, working with youth and in career education. In 2003, she found herself an unemployed career counsellor.

It was then that she decided to travel.

She spent over two years teaching English in Japan and has written about her experiences. Her creative non-fiction Japan and the Police was published in the Tokyo Notice Board. In 2006, she took a leave of absence from teaching and moved to Prague, Czech Republic. There, she received her certificate in Teaching English as a Second Language from the Czech Ministry of Education and has often used Prague as a setting for her short fiction. Currently, she is writing her first novel “Heaven’s Joke” in an attempt to revive noir fiction. Andrea lives in Saint John, New Brunswick teaching academic English at the UNB. She lives with her husband and two children.
