Themes of grief, loss, and forgiveness play an important part in her novels. She works with an all-women's critique group, which started the podcast Wild Women Who Write Take Flight. The interviews primarily include women authors, but they have male guests who are supportive of women as well. Katherine serves on the board of The Atlanta Writers Club and Sisters in Crime Atlanta.
