Welcome to the Dee Ann Smith Web Site Headlines WELCOME.... I write fiction for young adults and reach out to teens by writing fiction with a message of hope, redemption, and the power of God. I cherish our children -- our future world leaders -- and pray my stories demonstrate compassion and understanding for children of all ages. The stories are action-packed and, I hope, suspenseful. They have a supernatural slant, but nonetheless, deal with real issues of today. I offer my stories with a strong faith in God and an enormous portion of hope. Come on in and take a look.
