Stan the Man Saves Christmas

a holiday romantic comedy novella inspired by an angel, and zaniness

A wild, heartfelt, laugh-out-loud Christmas romantic comedy with a supernatural twist.

When Chicago’s winter hits peak chaos, only one man can save the season: Stan the Man—a loud, eccentric, possibly delusional homeless guy who secretly moonlights as an angel on a mission. His goal? Make sure fiery, perfectionist chef Alicia Williams and burned-out computer-scientist-turned-garbage-man Eduardo Smith fall in love before Christmas Day… even if it kills him. (Or kills someone’s dignity. Or a hot dog cart.)

With the subtlety of a snowplow and the wisdom of a dumpster-diving prophet, Stan launches the most unhinged matchmaking campaign Chicago has ever seen. Runaway food carts. Dumpster revelations. Fake Yelp reviews. An a cappella jailhouse choir. Blizzards, food fights, garbage trucks, glowing snow globes—and one kiss that lights up the whole city.

Perfect for fans of zany holiday movies, big-hearted rom-coms, and stories where angels behave badly, Stan the Man Saves Christmas is a goofy, cinematic, warm-and-chaotic whirlwind about love, destiny, and the magical messiness of the season.

Because sometimes all it takes to find love… is an angel with terrible ideas.
