History, One Story At A Time

Barbara Ristine writes historical, speculative, and contemporary fiction. Her passion is historical fiction because it allows her to explore and interpret the past for modern readers. 

Besides her short fiction, Barbara has written a historical novel set during the First World War. This novel is inspired by the artists working in the Tin Noses Shop, creating prosthetic masks for disfigured soldiers. 

Her most recent story, Canary Girl, about female munitions workers in WWI, appears in the historical anthology FEISTY DEEDS. Other stories have appeared in The Westchester Review, Literally Stories, and FlashBack Fiction, among others.
