Bio:
I'm Dr. Griest-Devora (but please call me Barbara), and I am a Professor of English with Northwest Vista College, where I started in 1998--the year the college opened. I’m probably the biggest English nerd you will ever meet. I am also a small business owner, as my husband and I have a photography studio in the Deco District, near downtown San Antonio. In 2003, I published a chapbook of poetry, and I have numerous publications in magazines, journals, and anthologies.
