The Dark Eagles:First Flight
by David R. Smith
“The book was wonderfully written. It is a book for all
ages and gender. Boys may like that it is from a young man's point of view with
all the adventure. I enjoyed the character development and the friendships
formed from the adversity they faced.”

“Author David R. Smith does a fine job with his
dialogue, which flows smoothly and wittily throughout. His interactions between
characters are genuine, and the portrayals of his young female characters in
particular are refreshing.”

About the Author: David R. Smith
David was born in Salt Lake City, Utah and
spent most of his childhood on
a farm in Heber City, located in the Wasatch Mountains. He loved exploring
the mountains on his horse looking for adventures to follow. Growing up,
he wanted to be a movie director and used his own Super 8 camera to make
silent movies with his friends and brothers and sister. Instead he earned
a Bachelors in Engineering at the University of Utah. While there, he met
the love of his life, Jenelle, and they were blessed with three amazing
sons: Josh, Tate, and Porter. David later earned his Masters in Business
Administration from Northwestern University and pursued a path in the
corporate world. But his creative side continued to tug at him for years
until finally through the encouragement of his wife and boys, he realized
that it’s never too late to follow your dream. So David set off to write
an epic adventure of a boy and his horse and created a story of freedom,
adventure, love, courage and sacrifice. When he's not writing, David
enjoys outdoor activities with his family, and especially loves surfing
with his three boys in Southern California where he resides.
