K. K. Bruno: writer, mom, swimmer, historical interpreter, concerned alumna.  Want to know more? Here are the facts, then:

Born: During the Eisenhower administration at Camp Le Jeune, NC. That means my father was a U.S. Marine -- ooh-rah!

Education: The College of William and Mary, BA in English and MAEd in Secondary English  Education. That means I was a high school English teacher.  The Catholic University of America, MSLS. That  means I was a librarian.

Children:  One son,recently graduated from Amherst College and now an Ensign in the US Navy. That means I'm a proud mom.

Hobbies: reading, interpreting the Dig at Jamestown, The Virginia Shakespeare Festival, swimming, and safeguarding William and Mary as a national treasure. That means I'm alternately well-read, dirt-encrusted, easily entertained, soggy, and ever-vigilant.

See first paragraph for abbreviated version.

An interpreter for Historic Jamestowne, she volunteers at the archaeological dig year round and spends her summers with the Virginia Shakespeare Festival. A graduate of The College of William and Mary (BA; MAEd) and The Catholic University of America (MSLIS), her next novel is the first in a series of murder mysteries set in Jamestown 1629. A second project about her experiences as an alumni activist is also being prepared for publication. As a guest columnist for The Virginian-Pilot, Ms. Bruno writes on a variety of topics including local and state-wide politics, literary history, cultural events and her alma mater.
