Becky Banks is an international bestselling and award-winning indie author from an old Hawai‘i family who currently lives in Portland, Oregon, with her husband and two kids. She’s a graduate of Maui High School and Oregon State University, where she earned a bachelor’s in natural resources, a minor in science education, and fell in love with her elective in fiction writing. Becky is a breast cancer survivor and likes to craft dark romances that stem from her past and require love to see her characters through. When she’s not writing love stories, she’s planning family adventures and making her kids laugh with fart jokes.

A woman with dark hair styled loosely, wearing large hoop earrings, a necklace, and a black top. She is sitting on a chair in a room with framed artwork on the wall behind her, a houseplant, and an old computer with a typewriter-style keyboard and papers on it.
Two women sitting at a round table in a dimly lit restaurant or bar, with one woman signing a book and the other standing beside her, surrounded by drinks and personal items.
A woman sitting on a brown couch at a table, holding a magazine titled 'Forbidden'. There are multiple copies of the same magazine stacked on the table and some on the other side. The table has a drink, a smartphone, and some smaller magazines. The background shows a bookshelf and some decorations on the wall.

I’m Reimagining what ‘indie’ means in today’s written world. It’s female-forward. Gritty. culturally diverse. grounded in myth, science, and my Hawaiian heritage.
