Bonnie Bruno is a Pacific Northwest author who pursued her dream to write for publication on the day her firstborn started kindergarten. Married 34 years to her college sweetheart, she is Mom to two adult children and Grandma to a pair of precious granddaughters who help keep her heartstrings and her prayer life in shape.
A former computing columnist for Newsday, Bonnie has written articles, greeting cards, and stories for both the inspirational and general marketplace. She feels blessed to have been given the opportunity to write books for children, including The Young Reader’s Bible, Secret Journals of Bible-Time Kids series, and the God Thought of Everything devotionals for middlers. Currently, she’s working on her fifteenth book--an inspirational book for adults: When God Steps In: Stories of Everyday Grace.
In addition to her writing, Bonnie’s love for the outdoors led her to specialize in landscape, macro, and black/white photography. A sampling of her Pacific Northwest photos are on display at the Oregon State Snowmobile Association website.
Bonnie and her husband Nick enjoy camping, gardening (except for weeds!), exploring regional pioneer history, and bragging about their grandkids.
