Award-winning author Jody Sharpe will offer her bestselling Christmas book, 'The Dog Who Came For Christmas,' as a free ebook on December 15 and 16, 2025, through Amazon. The holiday story features meteorologist and psychic Gayle Force Knight, who receives an angelic vision while sleeping and embarks on a rescue mission with her intuitive husband Alex Knight and friends, encountering surprising twists with angels guiding their path.
This promotion coincides with Sharpe's ongoing discussion about the influence of the classic film 'It's A Wonderful Life' on her writing. In a recent blog post titled 'It's A Wonderful Life & My Very Own Angel,' available at her website, Sharpe explains how the film's themes resonate with her Mystic Bay series, where angels live as humans guiding townsfolk. She specifically notes how the film's confrontation with bully Mr. Potter mirrors her own anti-bullying messages, stating that in her soon-to-be eighth Mystic Bay book, angels guide the townsfolk with love as they handle bullies.
Sharpe's body of work consistently features angelic themes and anti-bullying messages. Her Mystic Bay series includes titles like 'Town Of Angels,' where angel storeowner Ken Leighton guides psychic Justine Greer and her family to thwart bully Klaus Waxman, and 'Town Of Angels Christmas,' which continues the theme that 'the bully never wins.' Another series entry, 'Summer Of Angels,' follows psychic Gayle Force as she works with intuitive attorney Alex Knight to solve a mystery while angels guide their efforts.
Beyond fiction, Sharpe authored the memoir 'Special Needs Children, The Angels On My Shoulder,' based on her twenty-five years teaching children with special needs. The book placed second in the National Federation Of Press Women's At-Large Communication contest and has been praised by Midwest Book Review for showing 'the good in circumstances and people.' She also recently released the children's book 'When The Angel Sent Butterflies,' which helps children understand that love surrounds them and conquers fear.
Sharpe maintains an active online presence where she collects real-life angel stories through the 'Tuesdays With The Angels' section of her site at her website. She welcomes submissions of angel sightings, interactions, and miraculous encounters at this submission portal. Her YouTube channel further explores these topics, with special attention to bullying as it relates to special needs children.
The author's recognition includes being chosen as a winner in the annual '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' Book Awards through a public voting process. She has also announced that two new screen treatments of her books, 'The Angel's Daughter' and 'Town Of Angels Christmas,' are now available. Sharpe's writing journey began as healing after personal losses, with the fictitious town of Mystic Bay providing an avenue to explore themes of love, humor, and spiritual awakening.
