Katherine Howe Biography

Katherine Howe is the author of the #2 New York Times bestseller The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane, a spellbinding, beautifully written novel that moves between contemporary times and one of the most fascinating and disturbing periods in American history – the Salem witch trials.

Howe, whose family settled in Essex County, Massachusetts in the 1620's, is related to accused Salem witches Elizabeth Proctor and Elizabeth Howe. For many people, uncovering a family connection is a way to personalize a period of history that otherwise feels too remote to be really relatable. For Howe, it stirred her interest in learning about daily life in that time period.

America's fascination with the Salem witch trials continues hundreds of years later, and Howe reminds us that these were individual people, with strengths and flaws like anyone else. Howe beautifully illustrates the fact that the historical truth of witchcraft is very different from the popular, fairy tale notion.

Called "a beautifully written, historically captivating thriller," by The Boston Globe, and "Literary alchemy" by the Christian Science Monitor, The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane has been described as "Harry Potter meets The Da Vinci Code."

Howe's newest book is The House of Velvet and Glass (April 2012).

Speaking Topics
  • Real Witches, Real Life

    Katherine Howe’s #2 New York Times bestselling book The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane took readers on a fascinating journey between the 1990’s and the days of the Salem witch trials, a time which continues to fascinate to this day. Its issues are a vivid cautionary tale about the dangers of isolationism, religious extremism, false accusations, lapses in due process, and governmental intrusion on individual liberties.

    Covering a time in our past that is hard to comprehend, author Katherine Howe has put a fresh spin on how to view it. According to Howe, most accused witches, not just in Salem but in early American history more generally, were quarrelsome women, grumpy, outspoken, bitter, or otherwise disenchanted with their lot in life. Often they had grudges nursed against them for years that only came out when charges were finally brought against them. It is fascinating to see how narrowly defined colonial village life really was, how bound up in gossip and jostling for social resources. It’s a powerful reminder about the darker side of the human character.

    Howe’s interactive presentation explores what really happened in Salem, shedding light on the issues that still resonate in contemporary times. Howe has also taught at the university level and speaks on subjects ranging from women in early colonial America, folk magic and witchcraft, to writing related topics such as the power of procrastination, methods and challenges of writing historical fiction and more
