Author Jody Sharpe announced that her book 'The Dog Who Came For Christmas' will be available as a free e-book on October 28 and 29, 2025, through Amazon. The promotional offer underscores Sharpe's consistent literary mission to address bullying through fiction. The book features psychic meteorologist Gayle Force Knight, who, with her husband Alex, embarks on a rescue mission guided by angelic visions.
Sharpe's body of work, primarily set in the fictional town of Mystic Bay, California, recurrently integrates angels and anti-bullying narratives. "Every one of us may have been bullied in our young lives or as adults and there is such a need to teach the children how to overcome being bullied and how bullying hurts," Sharpe stated. She advocates for children to walk away from bullies and report incidents to trusted adults. Her philosophy centers on kindness as a transformative force. "Being kind can spread love around the world. It is more powerful than hate," she said.
The author's commitment to this theme is evident across her publications. Her 'Town Of Angels' series explicitly frames narratives as "angel vs. bully." In 'Town Of Angels,' angel Ken Leighton guides townspeople to thwart bully Klaus Waxman. The sequel, 'Town Of Angels Christmas,' continues this dynamic. Sharpe's upcoming 2026 Mystic Bay novella will also feature bullying as a central theme. She attributes the award-winning reception of her work to "themes of love, forgiveness, redemption and thwarting bullies."
Beyond fiction, Sharpe addresses bullying through other channels. Her website features a blog section with anti-bullying messages at https://jodysharpe.com/blog. Her YouTube channel dedicates segments to bullying, particularly concerning special needs children. This focus stems from her 25-year career as a special education teacher, which inspired her award-winning memoir, 'Special Needs Children, The Angels On My Shoulder.' The book placed second in the National Federation Of Press Women's At-Large Communication contest.
Sharpe's work extends to collecting real-life angel stories. Her website hosts a "Tuesdays With The Angels" blog section at http://www.jodysharpe.com, where she shares and seeks submissions of angel encounters. Stories can be submitted via http://bit.ly/2FV8amd. Her literary recognition includes being chosen as a winner in the annual "50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading" Book Awards. Two of her books, 'The Angel's Daughter' and 'Town Of Angels Christmas,' have screen treatments in development.
The free availability of 'The Dog Who Came For Christmas' represents a strategic effort to broaden readership for Sharpe's core messages. By removing cost barriers, the promotion aims to disseminate themes of kindness, resilience, and spiritual hope to a wider audience, reinforcing literature's role in addressing social issues like bullying.
