My debut novel, Gullible Travels, released on Tuesday, April 29. I share more in this podcast interview with Comedian Nazareth.

“A lighthearted debut filled with wit, imaginative detail, and playful wordplay.—Dr. Gladys Childs, author of Busting Barriers

“It’s refreshing to pick up a book that’s written in a lighthearted way—it’s light in tone but still has a lot of heart. Most of all, throughout the comical contours of the plot, I felt the author imparting a healthy dose of joie de vivre.”—Mark Miller, author of Galifkadori

MY PREVIOUS BOOKS
My first book, Pioneer Boulevard: Los Angeles Stories, is named for the LA street known as Little India. Its ten stories are set in the Indian community, with characters from other cultures reflecting LA’s rich diversity. The Tenth Anniversary edition includes a bonus Q&A section with book insights and writing tips. It is also available on Kindle.

Pioneer Boulevard is a feast! Edwards writes with intelligence, passion and compassion. A binge-worthy collection.” Jyoti Guptara, author of Business Storytelling

“As an Indian immigrant who called Los Angeles home for several years, Sharon Arpana Edwards’s poignant, heartfelt stories and lyrical writing resonated with me, extracting tears, smiles, nostalgia, and ‘me-too’ nods.” Mabel Ninan, author of Far from Home

My third book, There Once Was a Man Who Suffered, is a translation of the biblical book of Job in limericks. The 650 stanzas include an original prologue and epilogue on the problem and purpose of pain. It is also available in paperback and on Kindle.

“Sharon Arpana Edwards has created a new way of looking at the book of Job. The lessons that Job proclaims, that sufferings have meaning and God is truly in charge, will come to you in a fresh way. I heartily endorse this book.” —Fr. Cedric Pisegna, C.P., author of Rise! Living the Risen Life

“There Once Was a Man Who Suffered is brilliant, creative, fun, and theologically sound!”—Dr. Che Ahn, author of Blueprints for Transformation

My second book, The Blessing of Melchizedek, is an award-winning 100-day devotional, silver medalist in the 2017 Illumination Book Awards.
