Barbara Buckley Ristine is from NY but she moved a lot before finally settling in Reno, where she’s remained for over twenty years. She thinks that she qualifies as an “emerging” writer/poet because it has taken her over thirty years to return to her first passion of writing. She’s led several lives up until recently: lawyer, mother, small business owner. Now she has embarked on her fourth act as a student at the University of Nevada, Reno, studying creative writing. When she’s not mindlessly staring at the Sierras, she writes short stories, historical fiction, and the occasional poem. Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in The Meadow, Bewildering Stories, Route 7 Review, and Earthbound Journal. Twitter: https://twitter.com/renobarb
