M. H. Bonham is a six-time awarding winning author of seventeen books. She started her career as a rocket scientist and quickly switched to a software engineer and systems administrator, where she insisted that Y2K was just a figure concocted for how much a computer geek can make in one day after convincing the newspapers the world’s computer systems are going to crash.

Taking her money and running, Maggie learned through racing sled dogs, that dogs are a lot like computers (they don’t do anything you want unless you speak their language and can be just as stubborn).

Bonham is a six-time awarding winning author of seventeen books. She started her career as a rocket scientist and quickly switched to a software engineer and systems administrator, where she insisted that Y2K was just a figure concocted for how much a computer geek can make in one day after convincing the newspapers the world’s computer systems are going to crash.

Taking her money and running, Maggie learned through racing sled dogs, that dogs are a lot like computers (they don’t do anything you want unless you speak their language and can be just as stubborn). She holds the prestigious three-time Red Lantern Award at the American Dog Derby (the oldest sled dog race in North America) and was featured in the Ashton Daily News as the only musher whose ten-dog team chased a Pomeranian into the backyard of the local gossip columnist.

Despite such harrowing experiences, she has braved whiteouts in Wyoming and swamps in Minnesota (as well as the fearsome Idaho Pomeranian) and learned much about dog and wolf behavior. She’s a world-renown expert in canine behavior and training. The publishers of her books include Penguin Putnam, John Wiley and Sons, Barrons Educational Series, TFH, Sterling, Dragon Moon Press and Yard Dog Press. She’s lost count on how many articles she has published in various consumer and trade magazines and websites, but figures it’s over a hundred by now.

M. H. Bonham is the author of Prophecy of Swords and Runestone of Teiwas, both heroic fantasy books in the Swords of Destiny Series published by Yard Dog Press, which share the world with Lachlei. Her work has also appeared in the Four Bubbas of the Apocalypse, Small Bites, Houston, We’ve Got Bubbas, A Time To..., Flush Fiction anthologies, Lorelei Signal, Kidvisions and Tales of the Talisman magazine, and Amazon Shorts.

She writes science fiction, fantasy, and mystery, having taken courses appropriate to a software engineering background such as Anglo Saxon, Latin, and Beowulf. When she’s not racing her geriatric sled dogs, she’s climbing mountains, hiking, and practicing Shotokan Karate (she’s a brown belt) and Ninjitsu. She is currently working on her master’s degree in Liberal Studies. She shares her home at 4000 ft — where most people swear there isn’t any oxygen and you can’t find that altitude on the high altitude directions for cake — with four Malamutes, six Alaskan Huskies, a tortoiseshell cat, deer, elk, foxes, coyotes, mountain lions, bobcats, and bears. Her husband, Larry, indulges her lunacy.

Getting Back into Self Care

It has been nearly three years to the day since my horrific horse accident. I have spent most of the time in pain due to something wrong with my shoulder which nobody at the time seemed to want to check into. I finally got to see a shoulder specialist and got an MRI. There is good news here: my shoulder endured a rotator tear but it wasn't all the way through, according to the specialist. My r Read more of this blog post »

Hi Margaret,
Always great to meet someone who's into crime thrillers and science fiction - my two favourite genre both as a reader and writer. I'd have loved to attend the speculative fiction conference in Denver but it's just too short notice, I'm teaching and I'm skint. I'll have to make do with UPC in Barcelona (much nearer) in December, where my entry is a cheery story about a telepathic fugative (former remote viewer that the state tried to kill) holding a hooker and her punter hostage in a Birmingham towerblock on a run down estate and trying to convince the cop negotiator he isn't mad.
One slight problem with regard to Sierra Waters (with which I'm not familiar) Why would anyone want to save Socrates when he conspired with the Spartans against Athenian democracy. You are aware that both Socrates and Plato wanted to ban creative writing, aren't you, in their crummy "utopia" that they called "The Republic?" The Sophists were the guys and Aristotle, well, he's still written the best book on movie script writing!
