Biography

K.K. Bruno is the nom-de-plume of Karla Kraynak Bruno, a former classroom educator and librarian with more than 40 years of teaching and research to her credit. A successful published author of historical fiction, she has been a frequent contributor of commentary to Virginia regional newspapers since 2006. In a past life, she was a costumed interpreter for Colonial Williamsburg and an archeological interpreter for Historic Jamestowne. A military child and spouse, Ms. Bruno reluctantly admits she was not born in Virginia -- but she got here as fast as she could. Ms. Bruno earned a BA in English and an MAEd from the College of William and Mary, as well as a Master's in Library and Information Science at the Catholic University of America. When not engaged in Virginia history, Ms. Bruno writes grant proposals for a non-profit. She reads, writes, and soaks up history and murder mysteries in Earlysville, Virginia.
