about me

Just another face in the crowd.

"Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that all was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, and make it possible."
-----T. E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia)

Grey Eagle

D. L. Stroupe

Captured fighter pilot Arion Dorios faces a spiritual quest for truth and understanding as he struggles to regain his freedom.


A thousand years of peace is shattered by the coming of the Venatorista and humans are forced to re-learn the art of war. Raised to believe in the brotherhood of all souled races, sworn to defend and protect the same, Arion finds it next to impossible to accept the idea that his captors - a predatory race that hunts humans - might actually possess souls. Worse still is the concept that Satan is loose and humans are beginning to fight each other.

"Grey Eagle" is about 87,000 words with appendixes; roughly 83,000 without.

An impressive blend of entertainment and instruction. Well conceived and nicely carried out. I wish you the best of luck. Backed. view book

I don't usually like present tense for storytelling, but you do it well. The blending of memories helps with that too. You have a nice way of introducing your characters and slowly painting them to give a good picture of who they are before things start to happen. Backed. view book

This appears to be a complex and detailed story - and what is a crime story without details? I skipped the first chapter because that's so often all anyone reads but this doesn't lend well to that treatment. As you said of mine, this is not my genre, but your story seems to be rich in regards to ... view book

This is well written, but I think you misunderstand the purpose of the classification. You have this listed as "universal" and it is not. A great many parents would be very upset to pick this up to read to their five year old, albeit its unsuitable is immediately apparent. Still, you should chang... view book

Not much to say, but I'll offer a small proofreading correction for page two: It all begun with.... This isn't grammatical, and is probably a typo from incomplete editing. It had all begun with... -or- It all began with.... Good luck. view book
