Bio
Beth Cato writes to preserve her sanity; her success in this endeavor is debatable. Her work appears in The Pedestal Magazine, Every Day Fiction, Niteblade Fantasy and Horror Magazine, and Crossed Genres.
“And Yet Stars Still Existed,” her tale of a mother and infant surviving in post-apocalyptic Seattle, has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize. She’s a member of the Arizona Authors Association and an associate member of the SFWA.
Beth Cato is currently eligible for the John W. Campbell Award for best new science fiction or fantasy writer whose first work of science fiction or fantasy was published in a professional publication in the previous two years.
She resides in Buckeye, Arizona, with her husband and son, but is from Hanford, California, which once marketed itself as “California’s Hidden Treasure.” The treasure remains well-hidden.
