  1. Christie Nieman, can I just say that you are an incredible writer. As Stars Fall was such an intense and captivating book and overall just amazing. I absolutely love the way you write, every page gave me shivers. I just can’t express enough how much your book opened my eyes and changed the way I look at life, I can’t thank you enough. After reading the book I then discovered that this was your first and only novel, I then decided that I definitely needed to include this when when I wrote to you! I hope that you write more, because I can’t wait to read your writing 🙂 Reading your book always made my day.
    Anyway, thank you for writing such a masterpiece,
    Loren 🙂
