: A twelfth-generation New Englander, freelance writer Karen Hammond grew up near Boston and went to college in New Hampshire. Although she enjoyed living and traveling in Europe for several years, she now lives and writes in a tiny fishing village on an island off the coast of Maine. A freelance writer and editor throughout her adult life, her work appears in national magazines and newspapers. Her current book project is Backroads and Byways of New England, to be published by Countryman Press.
Karen writes about travel, food, wine, women’s health, parenting, and etiquette—interests that may seem diverse but often converge in surprising ways.
