Malia Hart writes historical romances set in the islands of Hawaiʻi, where love unfolds against the rise of a kingdom, the collision of cultures, and the choices of women the written record barely kept.
The foreign men who came to Hawaiʻi are remembered in monuments, ship logs, and place names. The Hawaiian women who married them appear in a line of genealogy and then fall silent. Those women were not minor figures. They held rank the men could never earn, governed households the men could not have entered alone, and made choices that shaped a kingdom.
Malia Hart writes the rest.
Her novels blend carefully researched Hawaiian history with emotionally intense love stories, strong heroines, complicated men, and marriages tested by loyalty, faith, family, and the demands of a changing world. She is especially drawn to the early Hawaiian Kingdom and to the real people who stood at the meeting place between Hawaiian tradition and foreign influence. Her stories explore love without conquest, belonging without surrender, and women who refuse to disappear beneath the names history gave them.
Her first novel is inspired by the extraordinary marriage of the high chiefess Kaʻōanaʻeha and John Young ʻOlohana, the English sailor who became one of Kamehameha's most trusted advisors.
For readers who love richly atmospheric historical fiction, marriage-before-love romance, courageous women, and stories of Hawaiʻi beyond the postcard.
Randy Krause isn’t just writing stories or guides — he’s lived the life behind them.
A lifelong cowboy and craftsman, he’s worked cattle in Texas and Hawai‘i, from green-breaking horses to birthing calves on open lava fields. He’s medicated herds in the paddocks, slept beside them during storms, and learned the kind of lessons that only come from hard work and open country.
After years in the saddle, Randy built a new life in woodworking, opening Cabinets Hawaii, a successful custom cabinet and woodcraft shop known for quality and heart. Those same hands that shaped wood now build hydroponic systems designed to teach families how to grow food sustainably — anywhere, in any climate.
With over 30 years in construction, 10 years as a working paniolo on the Big Island, and five years mastering simple hydroponics in the Nevada desert, Randy brings practical know-how and old-fashioned values to everything he creates. His books blend real-world experience with a spirit of discovery — showing readers how to grow food, confidence, and connection through hands-on projects and stories of grit and hope.
Randy and his wife moved from Hawai‘i to the Nevada desert to raise their granddaughter, Ava, choosing family over convenience and trading the ocean for open sky. Today they work from home, building a small but growing publishing business that shares their love of learning, craftsmanship, and sustainable living.
