      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
