Jody Sharpe's New Novel Addresses Animal Rescue and Bullying

Animal rescue and bullying are central themes in Jody Sharpe's new novel, 'The Dog Who Came For Christmas, An Angel's Tale,' the sixth book in the Mystic Bay Series. Sharpe, known for integrating the concept of angels living on Earth into her narratives, uses this latest release to emphasize the importance of protecting animals and standing against bullying.

In her everyday life, Sharpe is heavily involved in animal rescue efforts and has a background as a special education teacher, making these themes deeply personal. The novel's protagonist, Gayle Force Knight, a meteorologist and psychic, receives a vision from an angel and sets out on a mission to rescue a dog she sees in her dream. With the support of her intuitive husband, Alex Knight, and their friends, Gayle embarks on a journey filled with unexpected twists and turns, guided by angelic interventions.

Sharpe's personal experiences and passions shape her storytelling. In a recent blog post, she expressed her lifelong dedication to animal rescue and her stance against bullying, noting how these issues are intertwined. 'Those who treat our children poorly are clearly those who could also be animal abusers,' she wrote. 'The bully never wins in my fantasy Mystic Bay Series and how I wish it could be true in our own towns across the world. Love and kindness wins!'

This new novel is not only a continuation of Sharpe's Mystic Bay Series but also a 'love letter' to all the animals she and her family have rescued over the years. It aims to teach children and adults alike the importance of treating animals with kindness and standing up against bullying.

Sharpe has received multiple accolades for her work, including an honorable mention in the 2024 National Federation of Press Women's Professional Communication contest for her novel 'Summer of Angels,' and a first-place win in 2023 for '20 Moon Road, An Angel's Tale.' Her books, such as 'To Catch an Angel' and 'Special Needs Children, The Angels On My Shoulder,' reflect her deep connection to her themes of angels, love, and compassion.

Additionally, Sharpe maintains a section on her website called 'Tuesdays With The Angels,' where she shares real-life stories of angel encounters. She encourages others to submit their own angel stories, which she hopes to compile into a collection. Her YouTube channel further explores these topics, with a particular focus on bullying as it relates to special needs children.

Sharpe's commitment to these causes extends beyond her writing. With two new screen treatments of her books 'The Angel's Daughter' and 'Town Of Angels Christmas' now available, her stories are set to reach an even wider audience, promoting messages of kindness and resilience in the face of adversity.
