by Kim Heacox (Author)

  • On Heaven's Hill has topical themes of climate change and environmental/animal conservation at odds with government and corporate interest, and ultimately is also a stirring and emotional story of a community coming together.
  • Author Kim Heacox has won the National Outdoor Book Award twice, for The Only Kayak, a memoir, and Jimmy Bluefeather, a novel.
  • Jimmy Bluefeather is a perennial backlist bestseller for Alaska Northwest Books, with combined sales of over 10,000 copies for the original hardcover, paperback, and reissued hardcover editions.
  • Heacox currently writes opinion-editorials for The Guardian on the climate crisis, biodiversity, and threats to US public lands. He has written books of essays and photography, history, memoir, fiction, and biographies.
  • On Heaven's Hill is a great pick for book clubs (discussion questions will be available), and, with one of the three perspectives in the voice of 11-year-old Kes, strong crossover appeal for ages 12+.

    • Author Biography

    Kim Heacox is best known for his memoir The Only Kayak and his novel Jimmy Bluefeather, both winners of the National Outdoor Book Award, and for his opinion pieces in The Guardian, where he writes in celebration and defense of the natural world, mostly on the climate crisis, biodiversity loss, and threats to US public lands. His book of essays and photographs, In Denali, won the IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award. A keen musician and photographer, and former ranger with the US National Park Service, he lives on eighteen acres in Gustavus, Alaska, next to Glacier Bay National Park, with his wife Melanie, two sea kayaks, a Martin guitar, and forty-some chestnut-baked chickadees.
