(More customer reviews)Shift Happens - A Novel of Awakenings takes us on many journeys. The journey of a relationship, the journey of an individual finding himself in relation to the outer world, discovering his inner world, dancing with spirituality. And what a glorious journey it is - disco on a space ship, trusting old friends, finding new ones, discovering new things about oneself, touching into the Golden Age of Hollywood and the heart of metaphysical teachings - all told in an engaging style with humor and panache. Elisabeth Fitzhugh, author of 'Dancers Between Realms - Empath Energy, Beyond Empathy.
I passed this book along to a friend and wanted to update this review with what she shared with me by email. "I am about half way through and loving the cast of characters. I am finding that the thrill ride of meeting ETs is only part of the fun of this book. Along with some truly Cosmic insights, I am gaining a fascinating glimpse into the world of gay men and their relationships. I gave a copy to a friend who has lent it to a young man who is 'just coming out' and whose family has rejected him. My friend is a psychiatric social worker. He said that it has been 'perfect' for this client. It has made it easier for him to talk more openly. Bob hasn't had a chance to read it but feels he is 'reading it through the client' so he is very grateful."

In this eclectic novelfor adult readers, two gay men navigate some unexpected trials in their fledgling relationship when one of them takes off on an extraterrestrial contact experience. After Andy Gage disappears from his San Francisco flat in the early hours of a June morning in 1995, his boyfriend of three months, Richard Lang, is frantic to find him. When his search takes him to the slopes of Mount Shasta ten hours later, the couples' mind boggling metaphysical multidimensional adventure together is onlybeginning. Andy Gage thought he knew who he was. He knew he was an empath, too often in synch with and in tune to the feelings of others. And because of it, he knew he had difficulty recognizing and trusting his own feelings. Andy knew there was more to All There Is than this three dimensional reality we live in. He was a survivor: an outrageous and outraged gay man in his late thirties who had fled his Midwestern upbringing in Indiana and gay life in Chicago to start over in San Francisco. He had lost a lover to AIDS. And though still HIV negative himself, he was resisting Love in the form of the ardent advances of Richard Lang. He knew the only happy endings were in the classic movies of Hollywood's Golden Age that he loved and into which he escaped as often as possible. He didn't suspect that he had a few wake up calls coming. The story of Andy's awakenings takes place in 1995 San Francisco, it could have taken place yesterday, it could have happened in any other place or time, but it didn't.
