By 2010, our books had become a series of seven. Only WHERE ANGELS WALK was still with its original publisher. Loyola Press had scooped up the others (four reprints and a new one) and redesigned/updated/added material, and felt strongly that the public was still very much interested in angels. One of the editors asked if a book on heavenly dogs might be added to the series. My first thought was “Dogs? In a book about angels?”You’ll have to read the rest to see just what happened.

Angelic Tales
As interest in angels exploded across the country, I was inundated with letters from readers of WHERE ANGELS WALK. Some wanted to share their own angel stories, but others asked a compelling question: “I’ve never had an angel experience. Has God forgotten me?” God never forgets any of us. (And I believe everyone meets angels-even if we
don’t always recognize them!) But perhaps a book about the other ways God send His love to us–through healings, answered prayer, even changes in nature—would be a good idea. (Note: This book has recently been updated, with eight new stories added. Here’s one):
New Release! MOMS GO
WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD
Yes, you’re right. This book is a little different than those in the angel/miracle series. The publishers at Guideposts Books wanted me to write a book on family life that would make Moms laugh and realize that in the midst of kids, animals, accident-prone husbands and dead plants, we can all make our homes a little piece of heaven. My reviewers (all Moms) have so far declared the
book “hysterical,” and we’re hoping you will agree. Send it to a mother you
love. Excerpts from Joan…

This is the book that started it all. I began collecting “angel stories” in 1989, after something awesome happened to one of my sons (see below). The stories were so compelling that I decided to put them into a book. Few books on angels had been written since the 1940′s, and I wondered how modern readers would react? Would they think such subject matter a bit…weird? Read excerpt …

My third book was titled WHERE WONDERS PREVAIL. It was a combination of angels and miracles, with some of the strongest stories available thus far, and definitely passed the goosebump test! But WWP had a rather short shelf life, going out of print around 1998. When I later became a Loyola Press author, the editors there decided to re-print WHERE WONDERS PREVAIL. It came out very recently, and has been given a new cover and a new title: ANGELS AND WONDERS. The goose-bumpy material, of course, is exactly the same.

Full of stories of hope and comfort, as well as goosebumps; everything from a survivor of 9/11 who met a mysterious stranger to a little girl whose angel caught her when she fell out of a window. It was written because, although I have done many books on angels and miracles, after 9/11 I sensed a fear and apprehension within the country, as if all the beautiful and hopeful stories we had heard and exchanged about angelic protection during the ’90′s meant nothing. Perhaps God had even abandoned us. Yet my mailbox was filled with evidence of continued heavenly care. I wanted to share those happenings.

This book is #7 in what turned out to be a series! It came about because my little Christmas book, Angels We Have Heard on High went out of print. The editors at Loyola Press thought the book had more life left in it, (and should be available all year ’round) and asked if I could use those stories and add more to develop a new book. I always have angel stories, and so, a new book was born, this time with an emphasis on prayer—the different kinds and how important it is.

By now my mail reflected awesome events from all over the world. Although many readers sensed looming spiritual warfare, people in great numbers were traveling to far-off shrines, organizing local prayer vigils and paying closer attention to matters of heaven. Miracles were no longer considered to be the province of saints, but possible for anyone, if only we asked. These stories of bold interaction with God deserved an audience too.
