Intro: Paranormal Author Stephanie Burkhart

Steph's pumpkin, Jack

Hi, I'm Stephanie Burkhart. I write paranormal, steampunk, fantasy, and contemporary romance as well as children's stories. I love coffee, chocolate, and lilacs. I'm very excited to be here on the blog today. ☺

Just a little about me: I grew up in Manchester, New Hampshire, and got my start writing comic books as a 6 year old. When I turned 18, I joined the U.S. Army wanting a great adventure. I became an MP (Military Police) and went off to Germany. I spent 7 years in Europe between 1986-1997. I've visited Berlin (before and after the fall of the wall), The Netherlands, Belgium, Paris, Venice, Salzburg, Poland, and Hungary. Two counties I wish I could have visited and hope to get there soon: Great Britain and Canada. I became a 911 Dispatcher for LAPD in 2000. My sons are 9 and 5. Finding balance between working, writing, and being a mommy can be a challenge, but it's a rewarding one. When I go to sleep, I sleep pretty heavy, so most of my story ideas don't come from dreams, but from germs of ideas.

I love writing paranormal, steampunk, fantasy and contemporary romance.

My paranormal titles include:
The Hungarian, paranormal, werewolf romance
The Count's Lair, paranormal, werewolf romance,
Danube in Candlelight, paranormal, werewolf romance releases: 1 NOV 2011
The Wolf's Torment, paranormal, werewolf/witch romance
Victorian Scoundrel, steampunk, time travel

Be Mused, story: Matchmaking Amusement, (fantasty/paranormal)

GIVEAWAY: Do you have an ebook reader? If so, which one? Are you going to pick up the Kindle Fire?

Your pumpkin is scary! I'm hoping to get a new Kindle soon. But I have a faint hope of an I-pad at the same time. I hope Santa does well with his day job this fall.

I have both a Sony and a Kobo. I am thinking about getting the Kindle Fire (may ask for Christmas and Birthday) as they are about a month apart.

Thank you for your service. My hubby was in the Army and I was in the Marine. Sounds like you had some good times.

Hi Steph,
I'm always amazed at your daring! You are a true heroine for joining the service. I'm also amazed at how many countries you've seen. I've been to a few states, but never out of the country.

You wanted to know about ereaders. I have a kindle, which I absolutely love!

Your pumpkin is great, by the way.

Your life has certainly been exciting. All the places you've been lend themselves to great story ideas.

I have an iPad and really do like it. Halloween is such a fun holiday. Love ghosts and black cats and haunted houses.
