Rhonda Parrish
Author, Editor and Hydra-tamer
I have the attention span of a a magpie and am constantly distracted by shiny things.
I’m the editor of many anthologies and author of plenty of books, stories and poems. I live with my husband and our three cats in Edmonton, Alberta, where I can often be found playing Dungeons and Dragons, bingeing crime dramas, doing crafty stuff or cheering on the Oilers.
As for that ‘hydra-taming’ thing? I call my to-do list The Hydra because every time I knock one thing off it two more spring up in its place. If you check out the illustrations spread across this website you may discover a story about how I went from a hydra-slayer to a hydra-tamer 🙂
My Patreon is the best way to keep up with everything I’m doing and support my work.
Every patron at every single level gets behind-the-scenes access and information, cover reveals and announcements ahead of the general public, dozens of short stories and poems and even full-length novels and anthologies.

Six more Arcana illustrations & excerpts
On Tuesday I told you about how Arcana was kinda sorta my first anthology ever. And then yesterday I shared the artwork and excerpts from the first five pieces (four stories and a poem). Today I would like to share some more artwork and excerpts with you, but there...
Some Arcana Artwork
From the very beginning I knew I wanted interior illustrations to go in Arcana. It didn't even really feel like an option to do otherwise? How could you have tarot card-inspired stories without including artwork? It just wouldn't work. So I turned to Marge Simon to...
Introducing you to Arcana
It was some years ago that I first considered dipping my toe into the world of anthologies. Like, really trying it out. I’d done a couple print versions of Niteblade (which you could argue were anthologies but were mostly print versions of Niteblade) but I had an idea...
“Rhonda Parrish is a shapeshifter with talents to match her every incarnation- magpie tenacity for picking the shiniest submissions, nightingale notes for crafting tales, and bright, feline eyes for seeking out her photographic subjects. She balances on the knife-edge of darkness and light, a sorceress of both realms.”
