Becky Garrison

Since moving to the Pacific Northwest in 2014, Becky Garrison has been covering this region's craft culture including food, beer, wine, spirits, cider, coffee, and cannabis/CBD, as well as the regional festival scene, and the rise of secular spiritual communities.

Currently, she is working on her ninth book Gaslighting for God: A Satirical Guidebook for Spotting Spiritual Narcissists (Lake Drive Books (January 27, 2026). With this book Garrison hopes to arm us all with a handy guide to identify spiritual narcissism in our midst (and not just the famous ones), as well as obtain the tools to not only survive but thrive when confronting these destructive energies. With her eight book Distilled in Washington: A History (The History Press, 2024) she made a formal shift from covering the Holy Spirit to distilled spirits.

When she is not writing on her iPad or frequenting tasting rooms and brewpubs, Garrison can be found camping, hiking, kayaking, flyfishing, and savoring the PNW festival and music scene.
