I write stories about ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances, ranging from the mother and newborn struggling to survive in post alien-apocalypse Seattle, to the hardworking zombie on third shift at Wal-mart. Sometimes, the most insignificant-seeming of people really matter the most. Those are the stories I tell.

I'm Beth Cato, and welcome to my web site! I'm an author in search of representation for a superhero urban fantasy titled Normal. In addition, I'm an essayist and writer of short fiction. My blog is updated several times a week, so hop over to LiveJournal for the latest developments. Latest News: My story "Father's Daughter" won the Crossed Genres Flash Fiction Contest. It will be accessible through their main page throughout the month of July.
