Biography
Hello,
My name is Daniel LaGrave, and I am a writer of short fiction, though I plan to write full length novels in the future. In terms of my writing I tend to examine humanity, both its light, and dark aspects. I generally also like to allow the story to follow its own nature, and be unexpected.
I appreciate feedback, so if you happen to check out one of my stories, and had any thoughts on it let me know.

Should you hear some strange, and pleasing melody. Run, just run.

Smashwords book reviews by Daniel LaGrave
- Noble Intentions: Episode 1
on Sep. 16, 2012
This was a good story with a strong main character, but there were a few typos and style issues. With that said though this story has everything you could want in adventure fiction, and with some revision it could be a 5 star piece.
- Fugue
on May 04, 2013
This was a really good read, maybe just a bit more fine tuning, and you'd have something people would certainly pay for. Keep up the good work.
