Bestselling author Jody Sharpe has announced a new angel story for her Angel Stories channel on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@jodysharpe6337. In this real-life angel story, Judy, "met an angel at an AA meeting but at the time he appeared in human form," Sharpe stated. "Her sister was struggling with drug abuse. The stranger, a man she didn't know, gave her a message that her sister would be okay."
It took thirty years for Judy to tell the story. "It's a story of intervention which is the greatest gift to give anyone suffering from drug abuse. Intervention helped someone in my own family find strength and resolve." Judy's story is one of sisterly love. She cared enough for her sister's well-being and went the loving distance to help. "That's what love is all about isn't it? We meet these angels so many times not knowing they are real angels at the time until they have gone from sight. They help us grow with whispers of encouragement and hope. They let us fall when we need to learn."
Sharpe also announced the release of the audiobook version of her bestselling novel, 20 Moon Road, An Angel's Tale, which is book 5 in the Mystic Bay Series. More audiobooks will follow shortly.
Jody has been collecting angel stories for a very long time. Some of these stories are her own experiences, while others were submitted to her. Many find their way into her bestselling books. Sharpe was a 1st Place Winner of the 2023 National Association of Press Women's Communications Contest Award for Fiction For Adult Readers - Novellas, and the 2024 National Association of Press Women's Communications Contest For Fiction - Novellas.
Sharpe is now actively seeking more real-life angel stories. The stories can be submitted at her website at https://jodysharpe.com. Not all stories are accepted. If accepted, the story will be included on her YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zFlB6SCAJg&t=14s, and may be included in her next book.
Her latest book, New Angel In Town, is based on stories she has heard throughout the years. These fictionalized stories are embedded throughout the book. In this book, a secret still lies in Mystic Bay, California. Angels live as humans there. But more miracles happen when Angel Ken and others help Ron, a new angel, as he swoops into town. Guardian Angel Ron flies down to live a human existence to make sure his charge, Evan, a boy in foster care, finds a forever home. Meanwhile, writer Noah Greenstreet is writing a film showcasing the townsfolk's angel encounters. With twists and turns and a bully to turn around, Angel Ron has to decide if he will stay in the harmonious town. Will Evan find a forever home? Will love and goodwill help Angel Ron decide to stay? With angels at the helm, readers ride along on another miraculous story of the angels of Mystic Bay.
Readers and reviewers have lavished praise on the new book. One Amazon reviewer said, "Just when I thought I couldn't love the Mystic Bay series more, Jody released the most breathtaking installment yet! Book 7 is a masterclass in child advocacy, true love, & angel-ology that blends emotional depth with a community of compassion. The concept of angels living among us as humans is handled with such grace and wit. As always, I felt deeply immersed in the world of merciful Mystic Bay. Jody's character development is phenomenal. Experiencing these heavenly beings grapple with human love, fear, & joy is pure magic. It's heartfelt, sizzling, & absolutely un-putdownable. The reader will come away believing in Angels! This book is a stunning addition to her magnificent series. It is a radiant reward of Jody's keen dedication to bringing the love of angels into our world."
Another said, "The angel experiences shared in the book seem real and remind the reader of the meaning of love and how it can change lives. Surely we can put the values illustrated in this beautifully written book in our own lives and make our world a better place for all."
