About Daphne

Daphne C. Smith is a writer, teacher, and storyteller—and the founder of Dee C. Smith Publishing House—devoted to creating faith-centered books for both children and adults.

She is the creator of The NeNe Chronicles, a beloved children’s series inspired by her daughter, Ananysha (“NeNe”), celebrating family, faith, and the everyday beauty of growing up. Daphne is also the author of reflective devotionals including The Flavor of God and Reflecting God’s Unchanging Love, inviting readers to encounter God’s presence through prayer, reflection, and trust.

Rooted in one calling and expressed through two voices, Daphne’s work nurtures little hearts through story while offering encouragement and spiritual depth to growing and grounded hearts alike. Whether writing for children or adults, her purpose remains the same—to inspire faith, strengthen families, and remind readers of God’s goodness in every season.
