Bestselling Author Jody Sharpe Champions Animal Rescue and Anti-Bullying Efforts

Bestselling author Jody Sharpe has once again made headlines by securing first place in the 2024 National Federation of Press Women's Professional Communication contest for her novel 'Summer of Angels'. This marks her fourth victory in the NFPW competition, adding to her previous wins for '20 Moon Road, An Angel's Tale', 'Town Of Angels Christmas', and 'Special Needs Children, The Angels On My Shoulder'.

Sharpe's writing often revolves around core themes of angels, bullying, and animal rescue, reflecting her former career as a special needs teacher and her personal experiences. Her commitment to these issues was recently highlighted in a blog post titled 'Angel Inspirations - Animal Rescue' on her website. In this piece, Sharpe drew a poignant connection between protecting children from bullying and rescuing animals from abuse, arguing that both causes require societal intervention to combat cruelty and promote healing.

Sharpe wrote, "Bless The Beasts and the Children, one of my favorite songs from the seventies, has a wonderful lyric. 'Keep them safe, keep them warm.' I've written many times about protecting our children from man's inhumanity to man. As of now, bullying is considered almost the norm in politics, dividing people. However, I also feel strongly about the well-being of our animal friends." She continued, "My husband and I have rescued many animals and continue to advocate for them around the world, whether companions to people or in the wild. They are innocent and vulnerable and the poor way some individuals regard them shows all of us what these people are made of. Animals can't speak for themselves. Just like we all should share in protecting the children of the world, we are also the animals' voices of hope. I believe in hope, love and helping those who need our strength and our kindness."

Sharpe's novels transcend mere escapism, encouraging readers to adopt a perspective of kindness and compassion. Diane Donovan of Midwest Book Review praised Sharpe's work, stating, "Do angels come to children with special needs? In Mystic Bay, they do. As the truth emerges about the town's makeup, history, and mission, readers become immersed in a spiritual story of angels and beliefs that drive positive changes and kindness in the world and spread beyond the small town of angels."

Sharpe's bibliography includes 'To Catch an Angel', 'The Angel's Daughter', 'Town Of Angels', and the memoir 'Special Needs Children, The Angels On My Shoulder'. Each book weaves themes of angelic intervention and human kindness, often set in the fictional town of Mystic Bay, California. Her latest book, 'Summer Of Angels', is a mystery novel featuring meteorologist and psychic Gayle Force, who uses her intuitive abilities to prevent a future tragedy.

In addition to her literary work, Sharpe hosts the 'Tuesdays With The Angels' section on her website, sharing real-life angel stories and inviting public submissions. This initiative aims to compile a collection of miraculous and heartwarming encounters with angels. Sharpe's YouTube channel further explores these topics, with a particular focus on bullying, especially as it affects special needs children.

Recognized as one of the "50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading", Sharpe's impact extends beyond her books. Her advocacy for animal rescue and anti-bullying initiatives underscores a broader message of compassion and resilience. With two new screen treatments of her books, 'The Angel's Daughter' and 'Town Of Angels Christmas', now available, Sharpe continues to expand her influence through multiple media.
