Beth Cato hails from Hanford, California, but currently writes and bakes cookies in a lair outside of Phoenix, Arizona. She shares the household with a hockey-loving husband, a numbers-obsessed son, and a cat the size of a canned ham.
“A gritty, imaginative, and unforgettable read.” — Library Journal
(starred review)
“Cato brings increased nuance and skilled characterization to her
second Blood of Earth historical fantasy...[she] ably juggles
historical fact and fantastical elements to create an alternate
1900s America as finely adorned with Asiatic touches as the
modified kimono that Ingrid wears.” — Publishers Weekly (starred
review)
“A powerful, fast-paced, entertaining enigma, a fantastic melding
of alternate history and urban fantasy with a definite taste of
steampunk thrown in. Memorable costars, a protagonist with real
star power, picturesque scenes and her use of mythical Asian
creatures, plus flowing dialogue, make it a real page-turner.” — RT
Book Reviews

complicated world of this alternate history, it remains simple,
entertaining, and difficult to put down. Cato’s skill at creating
engaging characters shines throughout.” — Kirkus Reviews

fantasy series with supernatural creatures, action-packed

fiction is unique.” — Romantic Times Book Reviews on Breath of
