Stars & Angels Sing

A family searches for the true meaning of Christmas, then must save it in an epic fantasy adventure told through poems.

Do you like The Night Before Christmas poem? 

Do you wish it had a ton more magic and an adventure to find the true meaning of Christmas?

Then you'll love Stars & Angels Sing.

In a land where magic is illegal, Sarn must hide his magic and his son to stay alive. For an indentured man can claim nothing, not even his own child. 

When his master found out about his son, Sarn's worst fear was realized. Will his master help him get custody of his son? Or will this tear his family apart?

With nowhere to go and no choice but to obey orders, Sarn must move his son in with his master's family. They go from living in a chilly cave with no running water, and no idea where their next meal will come from to his master's warm, multi-room home. 

Are they guests? Or are they here to serve?

This change of living quarters didn't come with a change in station. As their foster family observes Advent, tensions mount as the symbols of a season and a strange holiday grow.

What is Christmas? Why does his master celebrate it? Should he let his son participate in this mysterious tradition?

Sarn has no way to find out except to ask his master about it and expose his ignorance. But this is the best place for his son, and he won't risk losing it.

Thankfully, Sarn's struggle doesn't go unnoticed, nor does his wish to understand the reason behind the season go unanswered.

With help from Santa, an iceman, some determined fairies, and other holiday favorites, Sarn and his son discover the heart of the season and a new tradition. His struggle might just win him the only present he wants for Christmas, custody of the little boy that lights up his life.

This story is told in a series of poems that build upon each other to tell a fantastic adventure of a father and son's search for the magic of Christmas.

***The 2023 edition of Stars & Angels Sing also includes stories and poems featuring Sarn and his family in their humorous quest to survive the events of Thanksgiving Day, and the book is 30% longer than the original version, including holiday stories that were written later but are part of the overall holiday storyline.
