It took awhile, but I did it.

Hi guys,

Remember how...in high school...I was always going to write a novel?

Well, finally in my senior years, I did it!

It's not the book I wanted to write or the one I thought I would. I wanted to do something that would rock the world, help mankind, win a Pultizer Prize.
Instead I wrote a tea and cookies novel for the fastest growing segment of our society. Seniors. Few novels center a heroin of advanced years, who thinks life has passed her by and finds, instead, that a second life is possible.



This book is for the reader who wants adventure but not blood; romance but not erotica. I give them a world of intelligent, university educated magical creatures that power their world with water instead of gas and their bodies with natural foods instead of fast food. The heroine, Grace, notes the contrast between the humans who destroy their world and the gnomes and fairies who care for theirs.


Grace gains these insights as she travels through the magical realm on a quest to find the Brittany Druid’s Books. The ancient knowledge in these books could end both worlds. She is threatened, and frightened and injured but day-by-day she realizes that she is experiencing the most exciting time of her life. She finds love and most important the ability in herself to accept the wonder of it.

The book is available on Amazon just put Shelly Heskett Harris or Beyond the Shimmer Gate in the Amazon search. Then if you want to buy one from them you can or wait a bit until I get my website up and I'll send you an autographed copy. Price at my website will be $20.00 which includes shipping. The publisher set the price at 18.95.

If you pull up my full name on Google you can see a video of me talking about the wild turkeys and Nutmeg being her usual charming self.

I hope this finds ya'll well and happy. I'm having a ball contacting people and fooling around with this book. Who'd have thought one of the high points of life would be when I had a full head of white hair.

Much Love to each of you. shelly
