Description: Remembering Olympus is hard to neatly categorize: part magical adventure, part mystery, and part timeslip saga about other lives and other worlds, this straddles the line between several genres - and does so with good balance and finesse. Aaron is a professional whose talents have become mired in management, and he's stagnating in his job and life, until he meets heiress Miranda and, more importantly, Claire, a publisher who leads him into a mystery and memories of another life and time.His choices in handling his life will lead to either a repetitive pattern or a changed world, and make for a fantasy that is a cut above most, and requires more thinking and examination from its readers than your usual leisure fantasy read. Can the protagonist keep an open mind about his discoveries? Can the reader join him in the process of suspending closely-held beliefs and learning about other realities and alternate purposes in life?A healthy dose of new age thinking and an affinity for sagas which, like the classic Cloud Atlas, invite self-examination and inspection of belief systems will lend to an appreciation of the divergent threads in Remembering Olympus. As Aaron moves from typical to atypical worlds, he comes to understand love, deception, and mirror images of himself, "...one changed by time, the other changed by deeds", and their ultimate meaning.Just as the first-person narrator experiences "...the strange feeling of being drawn to specific people for particular purposes.", so readers will find this story a compelling exercise in self-realization and possibility; all dictated not by the gods, but by very human choices.-- Diane Donavan, Editor California BookWatch
