Bestselling author Jody Sharpe has announced a new real-life angel story on her Angel Stories YouTube channel, along with the release of the audiobook version of her bestselling novel, '20 Moon Road, An Angel's Tale.' The announcement comes as Sharpe continues to expand her collection of angel encounters, which she shares through her books, website, and YouTube channel.
In the newly shared story, a woman named Judy recounts an encounter that took place thirty years ago. 'She met an angel at an AA meeting but at the time he appeared in human form,' Sharpe stated. The stranger gave Judy a message that her sister, who was struggling with drug abuse, would be okay. According to Sharpe, 'It's a story of intervention which is the greatest gift to give anyone suffering from drug abuse.' Judy's sisterly love and determination to help her sibling are central to the narrative, which Sharpe describes as a testament to the power of love and hope.
Sharpe, who has been collecting angel stories for years, incorporates many of these accounts into her fictional works. Her latest book, 'New Angel In Town,' is based on such stories and explores themes of foster care, love, and redemption. The audiobook release of '20 Moon Road' is book 5 in her Mystic Bay Series, and more audiobooks are expected to follow.
The author is actively seeking more real-life angel stories from the public. Submissions can be made through her website at jodysharpe.com. While not all stories are accepted, those that are may be featured on her YouTube channel and potentially in her next book. Sharpe's YouTube channel, accessible at https://www.youtube.com/@jodysharpe6337, also includes segments on bullying and special needs children, topics close to her heart due to her background as a special education teacher.
Sharpe's work has garnered critical acclaim, including 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 award in the same category. She was also chosen as a winner in the '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' Book Awards.
The release of the audiobook and the new angel story are significant for Sharpe's readers and the broader community interested in angel encounters and spiritual themes. By sharing these real-life stories, Sharpe aims to provide hope and encouragement, particularly to those facing challenges such as addiction or loss. Her books, including 'To Catch an Angel,' 'Town Of Angels,' and 'The Dog Who Came For Christmas,' continue to resonate with readers who find comfort in the idea of angels living among us.
Sharpe's mission is rooted in personal healing; she turned to writing about angels after losing her daughter and husband. Her stories are designed to enlighten readers and encourage contemplation of life's precious moments. With the new audiobook and ongoing collection of angel stories, Sharpe's work remains a source of inspiration and a reminder that love and hope can prevail.
