Katherine Cart is a fisheries biologist who spends a fair amount of time living on Bering Sea commercial fishing vessels. She would much rather be writing, but finds the doom and gloom of the fishing industry to add a rather morbidly lovely light to her prose. Katherine hopes to pursue her Creative Writing MFA this fall. If this proves impossible, she will pack it up and move to warmer places for a year or more, where the surf stays big and the people stay tan.
