Love Comes at Twilight: A Love Story for Seniors - Paperback

by Al Francis (Author), Kay Mehl Miller (Author)

A novel for all who are aging and long for love in their lives. Carol, still grieving Mario's death, finds it hard to wrap her mind around the reality: she is in love again, fiercely in love, this time with a man never seen, a man with a voice never heard, a man living 1600 miles away. Eighty-year-old Ellis, equally incredulous, knows he loves Carol for he falls under her spell when he reads the seventy-eight-year-old author's book on her own aging. Complete strangers when they meet playing bridge in a virtual Internet game room, they begin an email courtship fraught with doubt and uncertainty, but despite reservations, they resolutely move through imagined and actual problems into a deep longing for one another.

Author Biography

The writing of Love Comes at Twilight was a team effort between California author Kay Mehl Miller and Texas geologist Al Francis who, coincidentally, met while playing bridge on the Internet. Both being romantics, they decided to fashion a sweet, but challenging, love story for seniors. Al Francis supplied most of the emails from the male protagonist and valuable feedback and encouragement to writer Kay Mehl Miller. She invented characters, plot and narrative. Dr. Miller is the author of two non-fiction books: Talking it Over: Understanding Sexual Diversity; and Living With the Stranger in Me: An Exploration of Aging.
