About Dawn Van Beck

I’m an author and speaker who loves Jesus! I’m passionate about helping women discover the redemptive power of God’s forgiveness so they may walk in the freedom of Christ.

My love of stories began as a little girl pretending to be a librarian, leading story time with my imaginary patrons. In college, I received the Spirit of Creative Arts award and later served as a newsletter contributor and editor for a professional organization. My first publication was for West Coast Woman magazine, in which I shared my experience of living with a Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis. 

I have authored several short story collections, which include fiction romance and inspirational stories, along with two children’s books. My first non-fiction book for Christian women, Deliver Me: Ditching Your Shame and Embracing God’s Freedom, is soon to be published, and I’m currently working on my debut Christian romance novel. 

Professionally, I hold a degree in Human Resources with a concentration in Gerontology, which has afforded me a long, rewarding career advocating for vulnerable adults. Organizations I belong to include the Advanced Writers and Speakers Association, and The Write Practice.

On the home front, I married a handsome man on a sunny day with whom I’ve traveled the country and serve as co-owner of our moving and estate business. I have a blast singing on the praise team and participating in the women’s ministry at our local church. We live in sunny (hot) Florida with our feisty Dachshund, Lilly, who clearly rules our house.
