About the author

Born in Boston in 1911 and later associated with Silver Lake, Massachusetts, James Westaway McCue wrote a number of books centered on Cape Cod and the sea. Catalog and bookseller records link him to titles including Cape Cod Holiday, Dangerous Waters, Deep Harvest, Cape Cod Doctor, and Joe Lincoln of Cape Cod.

His work appears to have ranged from novels to regional and travel-focused books, with Cape Cod as a recurring setting and subject. That mix gives his writing a strong sense of place, especially for listeners drawn to coastal New England life and its communities.

McCue died in 1987. Reliable portrait images were not clearly available from the sources I could confirm, so no profile image is included.
