David Deane Haskell is a survivor and an author. He writes about profound loss, addiction, creative expression, wellness, recovery, and the return of voice after damage. His mother died under tragic circumstances when he was four - a fact that followed him into every room he ever entered. He later spent nearly ten years as a drummer and show creator at Disney and Universal, performing joy while privately carrying wounds he had not yet found words for. After eleven years of isolation, his work returned through Wounded Angels, written from the middle of the healing process rather than from a polished finish line. Inner Child Journal continues the recovery conversation through shorter reflections, audio/podcast work, and healing-centered essays. His website is the broader author home, where readers can find both the healing/nonfiction work and his science fiction.
