About

Rhonda resides in Colorado with her husband and her very spoiled Fox Face Pomeranian, Roscoe. 

Her love of writing took flight at the tender age of four when she was caught writing with her crayons on the knotty pine walls of the family home. Throughout her childhood, her love of writing carried her through hundreds of hours in her room, discovering the beauty of words, oftentimes floating in a fishing boat on the lake, writing poetry. In her teens, she tested her hand at journalism by writing several articles for the city newspaper about school events. Later, she completed a Journalism/Short Story Writing course and was a stringer for a local newspaper. That’s when she knew it was writing fiction that captivated her. She wrote two novels by hand, still tucked away in boxes, that will never see the light of day.

Recently retired from the Adams County District Attorney’s Office, she can now be found hibernating in a coffee shop or her home office, creating characters, settings, and stories, occasionally emerging for coffee and dark chocolate.

She’s available–and happy to–speak at book clubs, reading circles, literary events, or anything else you’re looking for. Looking for someone to teach a group on a specific aspect of writing or the writing life? Yep! She’s happy to do that as well! Contact her at rhondablackhurst@gmail.com.
