MEET DEANNA | Deanna Chesley

Hello Readers! My name is Deanna Chesley. I am glad you are here and I am very excited to share my books with you! I am the mother to four beautiful daughters. I have been working full time for the last few decades raising my daughters and they have kept me quite busy! I also taught 4th grade for several years before I had children, and loved every single minute of it. I have been raising and teaching children in one capacity or another for the last 30 years.

I love to write stories that will empower readers of all ages to understand how observing and shifting their thoughts, speaking with intention, and self-love have the power to change their lives. The inspiration for all my books has come from the experiences I've had while raising my own children...which have been endless!

I currently live in Arizona with my family. Arizona has been good to me and it does put on quite a display with some of the most beautiful sunsets on earth... but I do still dream of living by the ocean one day!

Some FUN FACTS, TALENTS, and FAVORITE THINGS that make me UNIQUELY ME!
