I first created this website in 2006, and in the fourteen years between then and when I’m writing this now it just kept getting slower and slower. Even moving to dedicated hosting didn’t help very much. So, in April 2020 I blew it all up to start over. As part of that process I’ve begun doing most of my blogging over at Patreon. Thus, you can find all of that right here –> Rhonda Parrish’s Patreon.
Not only can you read many of the posts there without being a paid patron (including all the Calls for Submissions and important updates) if you click the ‘follow’ button on that page it will email you whenever I post a public update as well.
Also, even though I blew up the old blog that was here I wasn’t willing to lose fourteen years worth of work.
Luckily for me, my friend BD Wilson knows a thing or two about this kind of stuff and was willing to help me out. BD archived the old blog for me, so if you’re looking for something that was posted pre-April 2020 your best bet is going to be to check here –> RhondaParrish.com Blog Archive
Really important updates like book releases will also be blogged here as ‘Important announcements’.

Silversong Release
It's Silversong's release day! It's a bit of an odd release day because I ran a Kickstarter for this book and in some ways that felt like its release -- I definitely put all my promo eggs/spoons into that basket, and people who supported the Kickstarter got the book a...
Freedom to Read is Also Freedom to Write
This was originally written for the EPL to share during their Freedom to Read week event, this feels just as appropriate to share this week as it is Banned Books Week. I struggled with how to approach this subject. I wasn’t sure how to talk about intellectual freedom...
Call for Submissions: Fascination
Imagine a tall figure in black robes wearing a mask that looks like a deer skull, antlers backlit by moonlight. Or perhaps it is not a mask and the shape beneath the robes something much more than human. Imagine a thatch-roofed fairy tale cottage deep in a forest,...
Tattoo Convention
