There have been many highs and lows in Jean Comito Gurny’s life, but her love of writing has never wavered. Jean, the youngest of three girls, was born and raised in the Bronx, New York, and was taught the importance of being trustworthy, open, spiritual, and kind. She was married when she was just 19 to her high school sweetheart, and they had two children, Christopher and Michelle. Jean, a stay-at-home parent, cherished being there for her kids at every turning point in their lives.
Jean had a lifelong interest in writing, but she had to put her ambition on hold while she dealt with other priorities. However, as her children grew, so did she. She finished her education and picked up the reins of her literary career. After almost 45 years of marriage, her husband sadly passed after a long illness, leaving Jean to go on an unfamiliar path alone. But writing brought her comfort, and with her newfound independence she could devote herself to her calling.
As of now, Jean Comito Gurny has Book 1 of “The Adventure of Willow the Penguin” released. She thanks the angels in her life, her husband and parents for being there in spirit. To all parents, grandparents and all those who will read her book. Her life is an uplifting tale of sticking to your goals despite setbacks and never giving up on your dreams.
