Welcome to North Bay!
​We have cinnamon roll heroes, a small-town vibe, and love stories that linger in your heart long after you turn the last page.
Who is this lady?
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.

Stephanie Giese is an independent author who specializes in creating cozy chaos. Since we know you're wondering, her last name rhymes with "rice." If you like small-town romance, tropes like found family, and responsible mental health representation, then drop what you're doing and add Stephanie's North Bay series to the top of your TBR pile! Stephanie writes lightly spicy love stories and classic romantic comedies intended to make you laugh out loud while also addressing more serious concerns like mental health, treatment, and consent. Originally from Maryland, she now lives in Florida with her large family and one very naughty beagle. Her North Bay series is perfect for readers who love authors like Abby Jimenez and Elle Kennedy or shows like Gilmore Girls and Ted Lasso. Stephanie's books hit a little different because, as a real-life advocate, she has all of her books beta read by licensed mental health professionals.
Where to Start
The North Bay Series

Mike and Danielle will make you laugh, cry, and cringe in the best way possible, all while wishing you had a badass grandma like Danielle's. Sometimes the best things in life really do pop up out of nowhere.

About the Book
​
Danielle:
I’m not looking for a man, let alone a baseball player. Definitely not a minor leaguer who doesn’t even know how to pick a steamed crab. This is North Bay. Baseball and crabbing are a way of life. This town is in my blood, it’s where I belong. Mike Miller showed up with his big dreams of signing with a better team, and he already has one foot out the door. I don’t want a man who won’t stay. I’ve had enough of those. So, why can’t I get him out of my head?
