Breathing in The Sky

I had never flown in anything like it before: a gyrocopter, light as a dragonfly, its blades slicing the morning air. When the engine whirred to life and the wheels…

Tight and insightful stories.

Readers will fall in love with (Bickell’s) beautifully written characters as they persist in their attempts to be brave and kind in the face of harrowing obstacles.
Daybreak Alberta, CBC Radio

Restless seeking leads a man to his calling.

There is great attention to historical detail in this memoir. The tone is suffused with nostalgia. This thoughtful memoir implicitly asks us to consider how war and immigration restrictions affect people’s lives, and it invites us to imagine what next year might hold for us if we put in the hard work today.
Tucker Lieberman, Independent Book Review

Glad you told the story.

Your book should be recommended to be read in every school and university. Thank you for sharing it with us all.
Review on K.H. Bickell Client’s Book (Aviation ENTREPRENEUR)

Forever Beautiful.

Bickell writes a loving portrait of the people you think you know, but don’t really, and who feel even more familiar thanks to her accurate map.
Review of K.H. Bickell’s Work

A well told story.

Very interesting and written so that the reader was captured by the events.
Review on K.H. Bickell Client’s Book (Aviation ENTREPRENEUR)

Vivid and compelling.

We need writers like Bickell to remind us of lives that lie outside of our personal experience.
Orca Magazine

Interesting and compelling.

This book is a very interesting account of one man’s experience growing up and becoming a success against all odds. Definitely a good read!
Review on K.H. Bickell Client’s Book (Aviation ENTREPRENEUR)

Character and persistance won.

Fantastic story.... a journey that many would have quit or failed to navigate, but (the writer) persisted and took the risks, all the while being true as he could to the values and lessons instilled in him. Boldness and ethics prevailed.
Review on K.H. Bickell Client’s Book (Multinational CEO)

The prose itself sings.

Bickell shows her sophisticated skill as a writer by writing convincingly from multiple points-of-view and in constructing chapters that can work as a novel or as stand-alone stories. A beautiful, character-driven exploration.
Jury Comments, Georges Bugnet Award

Excellent

Bickell treats all her characters, regardless of their imperfections, with respect, and shows us ways - big, small, barely perceptible - that humans are capable of being brave and kind.

Everyone has a story. It is our honour to shape yours into a work of art not only worthy of the page, but of the name it bears.
