About the author

Much like the heroines of my novels, my own origins are shrouded in mystery. Adopted at an early age, I have no memories of my first 18 months of life. The aged, black and white photos I was given show a smiling child in unfamiliar surroundings. Random arms and legs jut into the picture at strange angles.

Growing up, I created fantasies about my heritage. I was an alien abandoned on this strange planet at birth. I was a gypsy princess stolen from her family; the daughter of a famous scientist...and on, and on.

The truth turned out to be much more mundane. But the tales I told myself have become the basis for most of my writing.

Reviews

[Shelby · Rating 5 out of 5]

OCEANS ENDING, by Beth McCue is a book driven by a fast-moving plot. What starts out as a normal novel with a wife looking for her husband after an argument, turns into a macabre series of strange occurrences. The twists and turns in this book keep the reader spinning, like roaring into fast “dead man” curves in a high-speed racing car.

This book moves forwards and backwards at a fast clip, and time zones melt into dream states that warn of terror and impending doom. Fasten your seat belt readers, nothing is as it appears.

The main character is a woman who faces threats head-on, as everything slips away from her and returns in new guises within new dimensions. In the end, she must make the final sacrifice to save the world, as she agonizingly moves into new forms and travels to that dark, overpowering vortex where the terrible awaits her. Her final horror will rearrange her life and the world as she, and shaken readers, once knew it to be. This book is a terrific visual exercise in rich apocalyptic imagination and colorful designs of earth's nature.

This is a fantastic novel with a totally unique apocalyptic premise. Very exciting and page-turning read with an interesting and well-developed cast of characters (of both the human and animal variety). The close first-person narration succeeds in keeping your emotions right there with the heroine throughout the story. I loved it!
