Stephanie Evanovich is a successful American author, best known for her romance and chick lit novels. She was born in Asbury Park, New Jersey, and has always been a resident of the state. Evanovich started writing while she was waiting for her cues during community theater projects. Her passion for writing grew, and she eventually pursued it full-time. Apart from being a writer, Evanovich is also a mother to two boys and an avid sports fan. She holds a black belt in tae kwon do, showcasing her athletic abilities.
Evanovich is part of a family of writers, being the niece of Janet Evanovich. When Stephanie's first book was published, some fans of Janet's work were confused and mistakenly believed that Stephanie was a pseudonym for her aunt.

However, Stephanie has clarified that she and Janet are different people, and she has her own writing style and voice.
One of Stephanie's most popular novels is "Big Girl Panties," a romantic comedy that tells the story of Holly Brennan, a widow who has gained a lot of weight due to her grief.

"Big Girl Panties" is a bestseller and has received many positive reviews for its humor, romance, and life lessons.
