Calliope in Time evolved out of the sense that true life is science fiction. The novel follows a timeline reminiscent of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.’s Slaughterhouse Five as it tells the life story of central character Calliope Wolfe from childhood, through college in the late 1960’s, and down the weaving paths of relationships and many road trips, into her career choices as an adult, always emphasizing her quirky perspective and spirituality. Calliope struggles through the death of a mentor, converses with a hyper-dimensional entity named Charles, and finds her role in the universe. The story is fun, original, and unpredictable.
