    Bryce Kelley spent his entire life being shielded by his twin brother Brayden. Now that Brayden is dead, Bryce is left to fend for himself and his mother in the absence of his best friend and twin. Everyone is convinced that Brayden committed suicide but Bryce is determined to vindicate his brother and prove that it wasn't suicide at all but murder. Bryce will stop at nothing to find his brother's killer. Bryce quickly learns that clearing his brother's name could be deadly and he'll need all the help he can get from a sketchy girl that is linked to his brother's killer.

      WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

      Changing Stripes

      ***** Changing Stripes may be a short story but the impact found within these pages is very strong. It draws you in from the first sentences and leaves you thinking long after the last word. It is sad that racism is still going strong and I commend Danielle for writing about its effects so eloquently… Touching and opens your eyes. Original in a way everyone can understand and appreciate. An eloquently written short story that makes you continue to think long after the cover has been closed. Definitely a must read…-Danielle Shaver, Reader, 5 Stars

      He’s Mental, That’s Why!

      ***** This is a lovely story surrounding the relationship between a couple of teens who live in a quiet town. They both have aspirations for the future, but time interferes and the reader hopes for the best outcome. I would say this book is ideal for the mid-late teenage group although it has to be said that I am much older and I still loved it. I couldn’t wait to see how it ended!-Harri Romney, Author of Clunky Monkey, 5 Stars

      My Brother’s Keeper

      A very enjoyable novella with a strong moral message.

      -Marble City Publishing, Ruby Barnes, Author of Peril

      ***** Another astonishing story from Danielle Nicole Bienvenu. It grabs you from the first page and holds you tight until the very end. I was drawn into the emotions of the characters and felt what they felt. If you’re looking for a story that will have you thinking, this one is for you.

      -Danielle Shaver, Reader, 5 Stars

      Roberts, Dana; 21.

      **** A very interesting story and Bienvenu did a very good job of showing Dana’s confusion and angst. A nice read.-Ey Wade, Author of Beads on A String & The Fishing Trip, 4 Stars

      **** A young woman tries to reconstruct her former life after an accident leaves her with amnesia. This short story keeps you guessing up to the O’Henry twist at the end. A quick, easy read… Good imagination and a talent for storytelling.-J.C. Allen, Author of the Chronicles of Time Series, 4 Stars

      Running from My Shadow

      ***** Running from My Shadow is very well written… The story line is captivating, and the details paint a vivid image. I could almost believe that I was living the story while reading it. It is a truly heartbreaking story of true love, loss, and faith in God. I could not put it down. I was almost sad to finish it. A truly amazing novel from an amazing author. -Vince Hancock Gongora, Reader, 5 Stars

      *****The book was very good… Keeps you going to find out more. Good job… Keep up the good work, girl.-Melody McCarron, Reader, 5 Stars

      Sarah’s Secret

      Sarah's Secret is just one example of Danielle Nicole Bienvenu's brilliance. A triumphant journey that will move you to believe.-Jeff Rivera, Best Selling Author of Forever My Lady

      ***** An incredible story by a wonderful author. I will be purchasing more from her.

      -Rosa Croley, Reader, 5 Stars

      The Gilded Mirror

      *****This is a sweet fairytale story about Anne, an English girl who is cast aside when her father remarries. She is eventually forced to become a maid to earn her keep and ends up serving a cruel lord who can’t keep his hands to himself. Her employer’s neighbor, Viscount Alexander Ashwood, befriends her and they eventually find love.

      -Kate Worth, Author of The Promise, 5 Stars

      **** This is a sweet little romance story. Set after WWI the heroine is a sweet thing thrust into a job. Her sweet memories and longing for Austria fit well into the tale.

      -Lisa Williamson, Author, 4 Stars

      The Life of Virginia Wargenheimer

      *****This amusing short story lets us have a peek into the life of teenaged Virginia Wargenheimer. As every teenager, she’s going through that particularly awkward stage as best she can; she’s the middle child, sandwiched between two male brothers who seem musically inclined (which she isn’t), required to sell Girl Scout Cookies she doesn’t want and her parents are absolutely clueless on how to deal with her. How clueless? They even set her up for a blind date with Bobby Molaboni (gulp)! However, Virginia is somewhat special (she calls herself weird… but aren’t we all?) and decides to do all within her means to thwart this oncoming episode. She has a masterful plan to become her opposite self…and then everything, as in the best laid plans of mice and men, goes belly up. It has a very funny and ironic, (yet too abrupt!) conclusion. Highly recommended for an enjoyable and quick read.

      -Edwin Stark, Author of The Karaoke Duo Vs The Karaoke Zombies, 5 Stars

      *****I really do like the author’s style. This is the third book that I have read. Lovely story!-Harri Romney, Author of a Dog Called Dog, 5 Stars

      The Right Kind of Perfect

      ***** "Tessa is fifteen years old, and her problems really begin for her one day when she attends the local church. Firstly, she is publicly accused (by a neighbor) of killing a bird, and then her pride is wounded further when she is forced to sing a solo against her will…On that day things seem to go from bad to worse. Generally, I don’t laugh easily, but I did actually find myself giggling quite often, while reading this story. I really hoped that things would turn out okay for Tessa in the end. I’d certainly recommend this story for the teenage market. Really good story. -Harri Romney, Author of Pirate Prim n’ Proper, 5 Stars

      This book like the many others is dedicated to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. You are my everything. May all that I do glorify Your name.

      Are we our brother’s keeper? The answer is yes. We are in this world together.
