Rhonda Parrish
Author, Editor and Hydra-tamer


I have the attention span of 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.

Blindspots is out today!
My computer hates me! That is not how I expected to begin this blog post, but here we are. It's release day for Blindspots, I'm meant to be shouting the news from rooftops but instead my computer is being a big old jerkface and not doing what it's supposed to. Rawr!...
