Valeris is a vast, beautiful world, filled with strange, curious, gorgeous, massive, and sometimes scary things. From floating islands, to Orcs and Elves, to a strangely built city. Mystery and beauty are Valeris' key features. Some things are bound to be explored and found. Other things are not, and are better left undisturbed. However, there are some that are bold enough to venture to every corner of this vast world, facing dangers and solving mysteries. There is much to do, and much to explore, in the world of Valeris.Book #1 in a Valeris series.

Jimmy and Aliza met in their late seventies, when he moved into her apartment building. Both were single and had gone through difficult divorces. Still, they led active, fulfilling lives. How did Jimmy and Aliza come to realize such true and rewarding intimacy late in life? Joy, Love, and Loss in Late Life is a deeply personal look at the long, rocky roads Jimmy and Aliza walked before their paths finally merged into one. Told through the record of several years of e-mail communication, their story delves into their individual personal histories: childhood memories, career and family choices, and the difficult divorces that ended their first marriages. Unlike many popular books on seniors and romantic intimacy, Joy, Love, and Loss in Late Life is a real-time longitudinal chronicle of Jimmy and Aliza's developing relationship. Through one detailed case study, social scientists, health care practitioners, and other curious senior citizens can explore the unique dynamics of late-in-life love.
