Charlotte Lobb was born and raised on a lifestyle block just out of Hamilton, in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Charlotte kept busy in her earlier years with an array of interests and talents ranging from ballroom dancing, violin, piano and singing to being a member of the New Zealand Shooting Team and High Performance Academy for air-rifle shooting. After leaving school, Charlotte went on to complete a Bachelor in Speech and Language Therapy (Hons) at the University of Canterbury. She now lives in Tauranga, in the sunny Bay of Plenty, with her husband, two children and their fluffy cat. Along with her passion for words, Charlotte has a desire to bring mental health topics out into the open, and to provide hope for those in need. Hannah & Huia is Charlotte's debut novel.
