Jenia

Jenia: I need some direction. Is there a volunteer out there who's willing to take a poor little old lady by the hand and escort her into beaming hooplas of the publishing arena? Simply put ... HELP!!!

Jenia,a former WAF (Korean War, 1950), and a Junior High School drop-out, attended high school five nights a week, four hours a night for two years and graduated Polytechnic Evening School as editor of the Poly Owl, secretary of the graduating class and first speaker at the ceremony to a cosmopolitan audience of more than 300. She went on to serve in the air force during the Korean Crisis and the returned to the University to graduate CalState Northridge as a Journalism major in 1963. She is 83 years old and presently working on her masters. She was public relations director for United Crusade, Verdugo Hills, CA., a photo journalist, editor and publisher of several Newhall-Saugus weekies including her own Newahll-Saugus Record Press (1966) and her monthly recreational vehicle booklet, "The Mobile Press and Travel News." Jenia's first attempt at fiction, "Turbulent Years," is posted on Amazon.com. Book 2 of the trilogy, "Sound of Marching Women," depicts the life of Protagonist Jenia Cabresi, her tenure in the Air Force (WAF) and how she,who once vowed to a life as a nun, with her Italian-Catholic background, coped with coming out of the closet to live as a lesbian and overcoming the bigotry of the 1950's. In her third and final story of the trilogy, "My Darian," she writes about her life with her partner for more than a half of century.
"My Darian," who died at the age of 94 of a CVA (cardio vascular accident) in Jenia's arms in 2009, is being re-written at this time.
