Here are some actual emails/reviews I received for MMMmiracle.
"I actually had shivers down my back reading your story! Its 2am here in NY and I couldnt go to bed until I finished. I do believe in god and angels,and somehow I do believe that god has a "masterPlan" for Hanson, their music has touched our household in such a way,I canteven describe it! Their music is so soulful and happy, its almost like theyare angels themselves. Have you sent a copy of this story to Hanson? I bet they would love it!" ~ Lynn
"I just read MMMmiracle. Wow. I know, I know, you're supposed to read that story before Sins of the Father. But hey, I didn't know. This story brought out my beliefs in God. He is my hero and I know He will be with me always. Your story made me cry, because I felt as if my life is turning into Noah's. I thought running away was a way to make my problems go away. But then I said a prayer the night before I'd run away, I felt as if someone was holding me, and I recognized the hug, it was my grandma. I loved her so much and I still do. You are a wonderful author and your words blessed me. Thank you." ~ Kara
"Stephen's MMMmiracle - A wonderfuly inspiring story, regardless of religion." ~ Diana
"My God! You write your dialogue in the Touched by an Angel parts perfectly!! You make Tess sound just like she does in the show as well as the other characters! Good Job!" ~ Taylor
"I can't even describe it. It's a very religious story, but you don't need to believe in God to see the power -- it's so emotional (not to mention, it's only the second story I've read where Ike or Tay don't fall in love and make out with some next-door-neighbor type chick). The author definitely nneds to pursue his/her talent in writing -- definitely." ~ Caty & Michelle (from their page Hanson Mania)
"Your story was soooo good...I loved it so much. I think you have a very special talent. Utilize it! Hey I felt special 'cause the Angel had my name! Thanks so much for the greaty story." ~ Tess
"Wow is all I can say. That was one of the best stories I've read in my life. God has given you the gift to write. So keep writing!" Miranda**
"Wow! The story you wrote was excellent! Touched by an Angel has become one of my favorite shows, but I never in a million years thought that Hanson could be tied into it! That shows how good of an author you are. A great imagination along with a good writing sense really contributes to a great author. Congratulations from a fellow 'Hanson Author'" ~ Amy
"Your story is so awesome! No one could ever describe how awesome it is! I cried several times. This story really touched my heart. I ama really huge Hanson fan and have noticed [the] influence of God in their songs. Most Hanson fans do not look for this stuff because they are so stuck on their looks and their popularity. You made a lot of very important points in this story. I especially like the point you made about them doing their music for God and not worrying about the teeny boppers. It is kid-of hard to explain what I mean. Their music has really calmed me down in a lot of situations in my life. Your story has really inspired me to do something. Now, I am not quite sure what it is, but I will soon find out. Write another story really soon!" ~ Chesney
"This has to be one of the best stories on the web. I loved the entire thing, especially the fact that it wasn't just another person falling love with a Hanson. The story was astounding. The real problems that people in this story faced remind us more of real life and I would like to take this time to thank you for writing such a wonderful, captivation story. I encourage you to write more, too. God gave you a wonderful talent -- you should stick with it. Thanks for listening to me and...for your wonderful literature." ~ Emily
"Your Hanson story is amazing. That would make a good episode of Touched by an Angel -- it really would. Your story kind of reminds me of myself because before Hanson's music came into my life I was usually depressed a lot for no reason...I still listen to Hanson when I'm upset and it cheers me up. Another reason I liked your story is the way you portrayed Hanson's characters. It seems real. I'm going to send the link to my friend if she hasn't already read it because she has her own Hanson miracle." ~ Brittany
"I LOVED your Hanson story -- it was like real life and not corny like most Hanson stories! You should e-mail it to CBS and they might actually do it cause it was a great story!" ~ Meg
"That is the best story I have read yet. It was so moving. I hope to read another one by you." ~ Brian
"I just finished reading your story. It took a moment to write you, as I had to stop crying first! It's beautiful You are such a talented writer. You really are. What a joyous message for the holidays. And a terriffic testimony to God too. Man! You're incredible! I mean, the whole "gun-Noah-Thud" scene -- WOW. That's the only word I have for it. WOW. Totally unbelievable! I don't think I'll ever be able to top you. You reign supreme! I mean this with my whole heart. This is one story that should be published somewhere. It's incredible!" ~ Paulla
"Um -- I really don't know what to say that you haven't heard before. I mean, I love Hanson's music. It's so upbeat, and not that "I'm singin' the RAP blues of shooting my girlfriend who broke up with me because I cheated on her" stuff. my friend called me to tell me that she had just read the BEST Hanson story, and that since I was into reading all the stories people made up about them, that I should read yours. All I can say is WOW! Your story is like the BEST! You have a talent for writing, so USE IT! Don't e-mail this to CBS b/c they won't give you credit. This story is -- wow -- there aren't really any words to describe it. I mean, I thought that the other stories were good -- but wow! Anywan, I just want to thank you for writing a story that made surfing the net worthwhile." ~ Christine
"Your story - wow - I mean, I've read a ton of these Hanson stories, and I'm sure [they] would be...honored to see that you could come up with something as brilliant as that using them as characters. I especially liked how you stressed the belief in God in your story. I'm a real believer, maybe I don't go to church often, but I don't think that church is the most important. It's more believing that God is there for you, and no matter what [He] will always be around protecting you. Hopefully Hanson will get a chance to read your story." ~ Deianira (from Chile!)
"Wow, Stephen, what can I say? I am totally speechless after having read that wonderful piece of fiction that tied...together the characters of Touched by an Angel and Hanson. It had me in tears at one moment and laughing out loud another. You have a real gift for writing. The story line was captivation, the characters real-to-life, and of course I loved the message all the way through (being a Christian, too) that God does love you and...has an ultimate plan for you. Your writing is thruly a gife and I am sure it has brough something wonderful to all the other hearts that have read it as it did mine. As God has given the Hanson brothers a gift, He has given you one, too. Please, please , keep up the good work and follow your dreams. I will be praying for you." ~ Matt
"I was really touched by your story. It's sooo great that Hanson had had an impact on your life. They are three fabulous people. Your story was sad, touching, funny and I love it. It is the best story I have ever read. And I hope that one day you meet Hanson. I am intending to make multiple copies and pass them out to all my friends so they can see how good of an author you are. I just wanted to let u know that. God Bless." ~ Meaghann
"I finished your story, and I'm absolutley astounded. Inferior to mine?? ::laughs:: Hardly. It was well-written, warm, touching -- everything you could hope for. I know you must have heard that a thousand times, but it was. I'll keep writing more if you do." ~ Rebecca (author of Silver)
"I looked at your MMMmiracle story...and I thought it was so cool. It really has some feeling to it. I'm proud that you can express your beliefs without being embarrassed about it." ~ Celeste
"Hey, I just got done reading your story. It was good. It really made you think about what music can do to people. Even though it wasn't real it still could happen. I hope you write some more stories." ~ Trisha
"I loved your story. You are one...gifted writer. Use your gift wisely. I just wrote to say that you did an amazing job on thie story...I hope there are more like it to come!" ~ Becky
"I just wanted to say you are a very inspiring writer who just like Hanson touches the hearts of many people! I truly loved your story!" ~ Jayde
"You've got a good story there - very read-worthy. I'm also a writer and you're no amatuer in this field." ~ Lyv
"This story is totally awesome! I've always been a real fan of Touched By An Angel, but never really have time to watch it. Yes, I love Hanson, but when I was introduced to them, I knew them only by their music. Their music...cheers me up greatly when I'm down. You are an excellent writer. I wished I could write like you do. I have a story in the making, but it's nowhere as good as yours." ~ Tasha
"Your story is awsome, it was very much like the Touched by an Angel. It was well written and very touching. You are a great writer." ~ Veronica
