About Me
Becky Sue Harwood
Christian fiction author and former pastor
I write Christian fiction about ordinary families finding God in the middle of real life.
My debut novel, One Last Summer (Elk Lake Publishing, 2025), follows three generations of the Lancaster family on their Lane County farm as they face Ruth’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis. It’s a story about love that stays when memory doesn’t.
I’m now writing a devotional companion to One Last Summer, and after that, my second novel.
Before fiction, I spent more than thirteen years on the pastoral staff of First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Junction City, Oregon, and seventeen years as a certified nursing assistant in eldercare and hospice. Both taught me that people in hard seasons rarely need tidy answers. They need someone beside them, offering encouragement. I try to write stories that do that.
Darrell, my husband of thirty-eight years, and I live in a farmhouse with a huge garden and a pumpkin patch we plant for the grandkids. Reggie, our anxious chihuahua, keeps me waiting at the door while he roams our field and decides whether to come in. Our blended family includes four grown children and eight grandchildren, and most weekdays I’m caring for the two youngest. Quiet writing time is more of a rumor than a rule around here.
