Stephanie Baldi grew up in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Gerritsen Beach. Her love of writing began during Saturday trips with her mother to the small local library where children gathered to hear a story read by the local Librarian. When the story ended, Stephanie would pick out a book to take home and read. But it was not until years later after a career in Patient Accounting and a stint as a Licensed Realtor that her dreams of becoming a writer flourished with a move to the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania. It was there that her first novel, Redemption was conceived. But family trials and tribulations forced her to abandon the manuscript for a time until her move to Georgia to be closer to her family. As a writer, Stephanie is dedicated to giving her reader's fast-paced, high stakes, page-turning stories that keep you on the edge of your seat and are full of surprising twists. She resides at her lake home in Villa Rica, Georgia with her husband and two cats. Stephanie is currently at work on the final installment of this trilogy titled Reckoning which is slated for release in 2020. She is thrilled to have been nominated for Georgia Author of the Year for Redemption.
