Author bio

Charlotte Hubbard spent many years in Missouri, and that landscape sits at the heart of much of her fiction. She is also Naomi King, the name she used for part of her Amish fiction, but the voice is recognizably the same: warm communities, practical problems, and people trying to do right by each other.

While working as a school librarian in 1983, she sold her first story to True Story magazine. That sale led to years of writing shorter confession-style stories, around seventy of them by her own count, and it gave her a solid feel for emotional pacing. Even in her later novels, you can sense that early training. She likes turning points, family strain, and the moment when a character finally has to face the truth.

That was the real start.

Her first novel sale came in 1990 with Colorado Captive, a historical romance set in the West. More historical romances followed, including Colorado Moonfire, Outlaw Moon, and Missouri Magic. Those early books show a side of Hubbard that readers sometimes forget. She has long liked frontier settings, stubborn characters, and a little danger mixed in with the love story.

After changes in publishing slowed that phase of her career, she reinvented herself again. She returned with faith-and-family stories such as A Patchwork Family and Gabriel's Lady, then found a strong home in Amish fiction. Her Amish novels draw on time spent around Jamesport, Missouri, the largest Old Order Amish community west of the Mississippi, and that grounding gives the books a practical, lived-in feel.

Food matters in her books.

In series like Seasons of the Heart, Promise Lodge, and Morning Star, meals, shops, gardens, sewing, and daily chores are not just background detail. They are part of how her characters show love, work through conflict, and build community. Readers who enjoy the Sweet Seasons Bakery Café, the kitchens at Promise Lodge, or the marketplace in Morning Star usually come back for that feeling of everyday life as much as for the romance.

Under the Naomi King name, she also wrote the Cedar Creek novels, including Abby Finds Her Calling and Emma Blooms At Last. Across both names, her fiction keeps circling a few themes: second chances, widows and widowers starting over, blended families, women trying to carve out some room for themselves, and communities deciding how much grace to offer when somebody stumbles.

Away from the page, Hubbard has shared plenty of ordinary detail about her life, and that grounded quality carries into the novels. She has lived in Minnesota with her husband and their border collie, and she has written about being an ordained Presbyterian deacon, singing in church choir, ringing in bell choir, and serving as a substitute organist. She also enjoys trying new recipes, crocheting, and sewing. That all fits. Charlotte Hubbard's books are not usually in a rush. They like to sit at the table awhile, let people talk, and trust that small daily choices can change a life.
