John McPhee and the No Good, Very Bad Marketing Stunt

John McPhee wanted one thing this Christmas: attention. Not the warm, fuzzy kind you get from friends and family... no, no. He wanted publicity. Big, shiny, headline-making publicity.So he came up with a brilliant plan-well, he thought it was brilliant. A holiday marketing stunt so bold, so festive, so wildly unnecessary that the entire town of Evergreen Falls would be talking about him until New Year’s.What could possibly go wrong?...Everything. Absolutely everything.When John’s Christmas scheme goes delightfully off the rails, the townsfolk find themselves wrapped up in a tangle of rumors, misunderstandings, and the kind of small-town chaos usually reserved for holiday movies with suspiciously high budgets. Candy-cane stripes blur, carolers panic, and even Santa would raise an eyebrow at the commotion.Told in the style of a children’s picture book-but very much for adults-this whimsical retelling transforms a real-life fiasco into a snowy, sparkly cautionary tale about pride, panic, and the peculiar magic that happens when grown-ups make questionable decisions during the holidays.With bright illustrations, a dash of dark humor, and enough Christmas charm to warm even the grumpiest grandma, John McPhee and the No Good, Very Bad Marketing Stunt is the perfect stocking stuffer for kids and even adults, especially true-crime fans, nostalgia lovers, and anyone who enjoys their festive stories sprinkled with equal parts wonder and 'oh no... he didn’t.'
