Daemons and Shadows
Demons and Sorcerers At seventeen on his first adventure as a mercenary, sailors pitch Shadowhelm off a boat because they think he is a witch. About to drown, a Fae rescues him when he agrees to find a Fae's pup in exchange for his life. But once on land, Shadowhelm finds himself the target of two evil sorcerers -- one who is driven mad by ghosts from his past. Can Shadowhelm prove himself a mercenary, or will a sorcerer's demons kill him first?

About the author
M.H. Bonham
49 books61 followersM. 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). 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.

A fine addition to the collection.
The characters are wonderful and quirky. The plots are interesting. This is a collection of short stories, not all in chronological order. The world building is good. I can't wait to read the next book.
