Marian Bruno used to be an actress but still considers herself a comedian. She studied at the renowned Second City Conservatory and Upright Citizen Brigade theaters, performed stand up at The Comedy Store, debuted her own one woman show and created several web series. She currently lives in Dallas with her husband, a reality tv editor, and their two vivacious children. She has thoroughly enjoyed the transition to novel writing as it has eliminated the need to do her hair and face: she’d rather be outside under a tree with a book.
