Bestselling author Jody Sharpe has officially opened submissions for angel stories to be featured on her YouTube channel and potentially in her next book. Sharpe, a 1st Place Winner of the 2023 National Association of Press Women's Communications Contest Award for Fiction and the 2024 award for Fiction Novellas, has long collected angel encounters. Now, she is broadening her search to include stories from the public.
Stories can be submitted at her website. Not all submissions will be accepted, but those selected will appear on her YouTube channel and may be included in her forthcoming novella, a prequel to the Mystic Bay series. Sharpe stated, "I have heard so many angel encounters from others that I've been compelled to tell them in my novellas and on my channel. I am writing a new novella, a prequel to the Mystic Bay series, and I will weave more of new stories people tell me and those of my own into the book."
Sharpe's latest book, New Angel In Town, already incorporates such stories. The novel, set in Mystic Bay, California, follows Angel Ron as he helps a boy in foster care find a forever home. Readers have praised the book, with one Amazon reviewer calling it "a masterclass in child advocacy, true love, & angel-ology." Another noted, "The angel experiences shared in the book seem real and remind the reader of the meaning of love."
Sharpe's other works include To Catch an Angel, Town Of Angels, and The Dog Who Came For Christmas, all set in the angel-inhabited town of Mystic Bay. Her books are available at Amazon.
In addition to her books, Sharpe runs a "Tuesdays With The Angels" section on her site, JodySharpe.com, where she shares real-life angel encounters. She hopes to gather a wide range of angel stories, including sightings, interactions, and miraculous experiences. Stories can be submitted at this link.
Sharpe's work has earned her recognition beyond the Press Women's awards, including being named a winner in the "50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading" Book Awards. She also recently announced screen treatments for The Angel's Daughter and Town Of Angels Christmas.
Sharpe, a former special education teacher, began writing about angels as a healing process after losing her daughter and husband. Her mission is to share stories of love, humor, and spiritual awakening through the fictional town of Mystic Bay.
