Deana Marie Starkey
Who I Am
I’m Deana Marie Starkey — multi‑genre author, creative entrepreneur, and trauma‑informed, faith‑rooted storyteller. I write for people who feel cut off from others, from themselves, from family, and sometimes from God.
My Mission
To create gentle, honest, spiritually grounded resources that help hurting people breathe again, hope again, and reconnect with the God who never left.
Why I Write
Because I’ve lived the quiet battles. The nights of anxiety. The ache of estrangement. The weight of isolation. The longing for connection and clarity.
And I know what it feels like to search for something — anything — that speaks to your pain without judgment or pressure.
My books, devotionals, and podcast are born from that place.
