In this eclectic novel aimed for 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 only the beginning.
...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.

This is one of the most fascinating books I've read in years. I read it in airports while encountering numerous delays en route to my destination. I did not mind the delays (or the unplanned-for overnight stay) a bit because the book held my interest and "took me away" to beautiful spaces and intriguing characters. I was often delighted by the author's word choices and by the well-chosen details that he included. If you did not know it beforehand, you would never suspect that this is the author's first novel. I thought it was masterfully written, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!Product details

Shift Happens A Novel of Awakenings edition by Jerry Thomas Boyd Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
If something like this were to happen, then, let it be how Jerry lived it in his book. Great reading!
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."
You do not want to miss reading this book. From the development of memorable, complex characters to worlds unknown...it is an adventure like no other. You will not want to put it down and once you finish the last page...you will be begging for a sequel!
I judge a book by 2 major criteria. Is it well written and did it grab my interest from the first sentence? Definite yes to both questions regarding Shift Happens. The bonus is the wonderful journey into unknown territories both physical and spiritual. Congratulations, Mr. Boyd and I look forward to the next journey.
Like nothing I have read before--this surprised me in many ways and taught me a lot about topics I hadn't thought much about. I like to be surprised and my favorite books are the ones that I can say "How did he think of that?" when I'm done. I don't like predictability and this was not the least bit predictable. It was well written. The prose described everything so well that I felt I was there--even on the spaceship!
Shift Happens led me on a true exploration. You never know what you'll find next if you're really exploring. After a few pages of critical jealousy and dealing with the sometimes overly descriptive narrative, I found myself letting go -- just like I would with Anne Rice's vampires, Alice in Wonderland or the cinematic dream sequences I witness at the movies. But Shift really Happens. Back and forth, Andy and Richard, their relations, their reflections on the reality of reality, their inner channeling and the -- how you say? -- "imaginative story" drew out my own feelings about myself and my relationships, about my beliefs and my humanity.
Isn't that what exploration is all about?
