Stefanie’s Story
Prior to becoming an author, Stefanie had written for years on blogging platforms. She is a registered nurse with years of experience working with families starting their journey into the parenting world. She started writing as a way to connect with families. After releasing her first memoir in May 2023, she felt a pull towards writing romance. Her love of the genre is something she is highly invested in as a reviewer and cheerleader for authors all around. Stefanie debuts her romance writing career with If Only You Knew in November 2023. She is shining a light on romance characters that are in their forties, something she feels is not easy to find in the genre. Stefanie resides in Southern California, with her husband, two kids, and their Cavalier King Charles dog.
Book Bae Brigade
In 2020, being home and wanting to connect, Bananabookclubbers was born. The purpose of this club came from the need to voice our love for smutty books. Not many talk about how much they lean into the steamy romances and there needed to be a place where people felt connected with others that liked the same sub-genre in their romance books. This club started as a way to find others that loved the smut, but it has grown into something so much bigger. It is now a place that houses laughter, lasting friendships and safety to express ourselves to one another. Rebranded to Stef’s Book Bae Brigade in 2025, this community is more than a book club, but also a place where I am forever grateful for the readers and followers who have supported me every step of the way.
