Katharine is a member of the League of Vermont Writers, the New Hampshire Writer's Project, and PEN New England. She teaches writing in Dartmouth College's continuing education program and writes book reviews for the New York Journal of Books.When not at her desk, Katharine can often be found in her Norwich garden, waging a non-toxic war against the slugs, snails, deer, woodchucks, chipmunks, moles, voles, and beetles with whom she shares her yard. Katharine's defense consists mainly of hand-wringing, after-the-fact.
