Rhonda is a wife, mother, grandma, paralegal, avid reader, writer, lover of words, and the daughter of a loving God. Her love of writing took flight at the tender age of four when she wrote with crayon on the knotty pine living room walls of her family home. She is a member of Northern Colorado Writers and two-time NaNoWriMo participant and winner. Her blog, A Novel Journey, at www.rhondablackhurst.com was born of her desire to live a life of grace, through the grace given to her daily, by reaching out to others through her love of words and story. She lives in Colorado with her husband, dog, and close to her children and grandchildren.
