Meet the Author
Stephanie Giese is an independent author who specializes in creating cozy chaos while prioritizing mental health. Since we know you're wondering, her last name rhymes with "rice." If you like small-town romance, found family, and laughing out loud, then drop what you're doing and add Stephanie's North Bay series to the top of your TBR pile! It's perfect for readers who love authors like Abby Jimenez and Elle Kennedy or shows like Gilmore Girls and Ted Lasso. But Stephanie's books hit a little different and feel extra real because, as an experienced advocate, she has all of her books beta read by licensed mental health professionals. Originally from Maryland, she now lives in Florida with her large family and one very naughty beagle.
In addition to her contemporary romance books, Stephanie's writing has appeared in newspapers, magazines, and three humor anthologies, including the New York Times best-selling I Just Want to Pee Alone. In 2021, she worked in collaboration with her oldest son, Nicholas, on the memoir All I Never Knowed, which addresses the children's mental health crisis in America. Her parenting articles have been featured on HuffPost, Good Morning America, Parents Magazine, and the Today Show. She has also worked for multiple non-profit organizations as a parenting "expert" (which she thinks is hilarious, as she never claimed to know what she was doing).
After a fifteen-year career creating parenting content and working as a children's mental health advocate, Stephanie decided to focus on something new that made her smile. At the top of the list? Romance novels. She is now the author of the North Bay romantic comedy series, which begins with Out of Left Field.
