My latest (and best) novel, Silversong, officially released today. I'm VERY pleased with this one. Not just for what it is but also for what it feels like the start of. www.rhondaparrish.com/home/publica... If you like (melancholy) fantasy with heart you might just like it too.

Zoe's Animal Rescue Society in Edmonton has emptied their funds taking in some animals who need expensive surgeries. They were slammed pretty hard this year, and [gestures wildly at the world] donations aren't meeting the demand. Please share/help as you can. www.zoesanimalrescue.org/donate/

Exciting news today! I can finally share that I wrote a chapter for a wonderful book titled “Digital Accessibility Ethics: Disability Inclusion in All Things Tech.” It will be published on March 26, 2026, and is already available for pre-order.

A reminder: 1. Don’t stop contacting your UCP MLA, the Education Minister & the Premier to tell them you object to their preemptive use of the notwithstanding clause. 2. Be civil when you do. Don’t swear. Don’t lob insults. Just firmly express your opposition. #abpoli

Holy crow, I got an actual card in the mail from someone thanking me for writing my poetry collection. Friend of a friend of a relative or something like that. Nobody can't tell me NOTHING for the rest of today. Amazing. Tell writers when you like their stuff. Man, what a feeling.

I have two joyful poems in this issue: one of my froggish pieces and one inspired by a friend who often points me towards happiness. But this whole issue is absolutely respite. Take a breath here.
