About Karen Hammond
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. She is the
author of the popular guidebook Backroads & Byways of New England: Drives, Day Trips & Weekend Excursions (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.
