WILMINGTON, NC, March 04, 2023 /24-7PressRelease/ — Bestselling author Jody Sharpe has announced the release of her latest mystery novel, ‘Summer of Angels’. The new e-book will be available at no charge on Amazon, March 6 through March 8, 2023 at Amazon at .
With her books about angels, Sharpe has captured the hearts of readers and many have attained bestseller status. However, her latest release marks somewhat of a departure from her Mystic Bay series. This time, Sharpe weaves an anti-bullying sub-theme into the intricate tapestry of her main story. Angels and a psychic detective come together to create a one-of-a-kind story that breaks the mold of traditional mystery novels.
Meteorologist and psychic, Gayle Force proves a force to be reckoned with as she moves back to her beloved Mystic Bay, California. While sleeping, an angel sent her a vision in a dream of a future event. Gayle realizes she must use her intuition to save an old man from drowning. But who is this old man?
With the help of intuitive attorney, Alex Knight, she finds they are caught in the middle of a future crime. But can Gayle and Alex solve the case and save the old man before it’s too late? With surprising twists and turns of intrigue and love, Gayle and Alex find there are angels at the helm as they help prove the bully never wins.
As a former special education teacher, Jody Sharpe witnessed bullying on a daily basis, and has used her experience to teach others how to overcome bullying behavior. That message is presented in most of her books.
“In my Mystic Bay Series and now Summer of Angels, a mystery, I hope the reader takes this message to heart,” Sharpe stated. “Inevitably, bullies fail and the strong with eyes to the heavens prevail.”
Sharpe’s books have won numerous awards and many are bestsellers. Town Of Angels Christmas took Third Place Honors in the At-large division of the 2021 NFPW Communications Contest. The contest had entrants from 18 states, the District of Columbia and Spain. This Christmas book features an entire town of angels who rescue a group of 21 horses while teaching the town bully a lesson. Already a bestseller in the Holiday Fiction category, the book is certain to become a classic and will make an ideal gift for those who love angel stories, animal stories or just enjoy seeing bullies learn lessons in kindness.

Readers of the Mystic Bay Series who wish to start with the first book in the series can now access’ The Angel’s Daughter’ on Kindle Unlimited. The book serves as a great introduction to Jody’s concept of angels on earth.
‘Special Needs Children, The Angels On My Shoulder’ is a memoir 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. The book is as entertaining as it is illuminating. It’s a love story about the special students and others who over the years graced her life with just that, their grace.
With hearts of angels and challenges to face, the children took Sharpe along their journeys and inspired her own life’s journey of self-discovery. When sorrow came, their kindness helped her through. The synchronicity of events from high school to retirement changed her life for the better, turning her face toward heaven.
Midwest Book Review stated, “Sharpe’s ability to see the good in circumstances and people identifies the ‘special’ in ‘special needs’ as she delineates her journey through the education system and those teaching and social encounters which changed her perspective and life.
“Teachers (especially those working with special needs kids) will find this spiritual and social reflection easily accessible. It’s presented in vignettes which offer small, digestible bites of insight into a world where angels and kindness are present in more than one form.”
‘Special Needs Children’ followed her recently released children’s book about angels, ‘When The Angel Sent Butterflies’. The new book helps children understand that love from their parents and others surrounds them. Love conquers fear and believing that angels are near can help sweep any childhood fear away. This concept is presented in the book when Angel Ken sends Jones and Kate butterflies. The book, appropriate for ages 2 to 7, is now available at Amazon and Ingram.
In addition, on the ‘Tuesdays With The Angels’ section of her site, Sharpe presents stories of real life encounters with angels. The stories are available at Sharpe’s website at http://www.jodysharpe.com.
Sharpe hopes to create a collection of angel stories that involve sightings of angels, interaction with angels, miraculous angel encounters and other types of accounts or stories. Everyone is welcome to submit angel stories. All submissions will be considered, but inclusion is not guaranteed. Stories may be submitted at http://bit.ly/2FV8amd.
Sharpe’s YouTube channel brings all of this together, offering segments on all of these topics. One topic of special interest is bullying, specifically as it relates to special needs children.
In addition to the National Federation of Press Women’s award, Jody was chosen as a winner in the annual ’50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading’ Book Awards’. She was chosen from a field of hundreds of authors through a public voting process.
