Katherine Khalife

Katherine Khalife was born and raised in Salem, New Hampshire. Her interest in the history of Salem and the nearby Massachusetts cities of Lawrence, Lowell and Haverhill started when she was a little kid, listening to her grandparents talk about working in Lawrence's textile mills and taking the trolley to Canobie Lake Park.

A freelance writer for 30 years, Katherine has co-authored five books of local history, written numerous articles for print and for the Web, and published a small regional magazine.
