John H. Ristine

My grandfather, F. P. Ristine owned and operated a brokerage firm in Philadelphia in the 1930s. With philosophy, he managed a company of about ten account executives. He believed that a person got what he wanted by helping others get what they wanted. His passion was helping people invest wisely, and that passion was communicated to his clients who made investments based on belief in the techniques he taught them. One man became convinced that the money he invested was a good risk when he was able to put his son through college on the dividends alone. As a writer of novels, I understand how to reach the inner story of the reader by shared experience, real-life dialogue, and believable scenarios. Five of my short stories have been published. Five novels are currently seeking an agent and publication.
