Barry Wightman spent thirty years in high tech traveling throughout Asia before reinventing himself as a writer, voiceover talent and marketing guy. He has an MFA from the Vermont College of Fine Arts, is fiction editor for the literary journal Hunger Mountain, is a member of the National Book Critics Circle and can still be found with a guitar in his hand figuring out the riffs on old Kinks records. He is married, has three grown children, one granddaughter, and lives in Wisconsin.
