Goodreads asked Stephanie Giese:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Stephanie Giese Originally, I planned to write a piece of historical fiction based on the life of my paternal grandfather, who was a minor league baseball player in Elmira, New York in the 1940’s. His career was interrupted when he was drafted to fight for the U.S. Army in World War II. I would still like to tell that story one day. But when I sat down and started typing, these characters took on a life of their own. By the time the first chapter was written, it was obvious that Out of Left Field was going to be a contemporary sport romance instead. I’m very proud of the final product and the strong focus this book has on mental health and treatment.
