ABOUT ME

My name is Steph and my last name starts with a “B.” When I was a leader in the Boy Scouts, I just had the scouts call me Mrs. B and somehow StephBee just grew out of that. I’ve got a license plate frame that says “Queen Bee.”

I just read 👼intuey Door 6 post and I have to agree – I believe in God and I believe the relationship with God is much more important than a religion, though I have taught Religious Ed for my church in the past. I always tried to frame topics in a spiritual light for the children and less on “man made laws.” I think, for me, it was important that the kids get to know God and Jesus than a “church.”

Having two boys and being a Boy Scout leader brought me out to nature more, which I appreciated. I love the scent of fresh pine trees and grass. I also like watching the night sky and was an Astronomy MB Counselor for the scouts as well. Both the boys are Eagle Scouts.

I work for LAPD as a 911 dispatcher full time, but I’m planning on retiring in 3 years and moving back to my native state of New Hampshire.

I am a published author. My small press publishing went out of business in 2018 and I’ve been slowly getting my stories back on Amazon through self-publishing. You can find me under “Stephanie Burkhart” if you want to check out my Amazon titles.

I’m a collector. I have over 3K comic books and comic, football, hockey, baseball cards from the 90’s.

TEAM MEMBER

I chose iKïyå§ama . She’s the leader of our Targaryen team, and I admire her very much. One of the things I know about Kiya is that she’s a FANTASTIC leader – especially here on WDC. I think we came to WDC around the same time give or take a couple of months. I’m not counting. Kiya established the Angel Army and I wanted to be part of it. If anything, I can’t thank Kiya ENOUGH for her incredible PATIENCE with me – especially when I was a Boy Scout leader for the boys, as I neglected being an active leader at the Angel Army.

Kiya is also incredibly creative – especially visually. Her graphics are some of the best I’ve seen on the Internet. Another thing about Kiya – she’s a very talented writer. Everything I’ve read in her port hits all the right notes for me. Characterization is spot on, she nails the setting – pacing is great. All her stories are engaging, and she’s not afraid to try different themes or genres. Her biggest accomplishment is keeping the Angel Army going and I’m so proud to her teammate here on Games of Thrones.


OPPONENT TEAM MEMBER

I’m delighted to talk about 👼intuey . She recently joined my group, “The Bee Hive,” and I can’t thank her for wanting to be a start of something new for me. (It’s a small group, but I’m hoping to grow it.) As we talked, I found out we have a lot in common – except I dislike peas and she loves them. Her favorite veggie is collard greens.

She is incredibly talented in handicrafts (as the scouts would say) and dabbles in painting, mixed media, jewelry making, crocheting, and photography.

She likes 70’s music the best. Heck, I’m a big Led Zeppelin fan. I’ve read some of the items in her port and I enjoy her writing a lot. I’m always happy to see an entry from her in the Bard’s Hall.
