This might not be the correct way to do it, and there might be other 
problems, but in this example it works fine

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\section{test}
\label{sec:test-1}
sdfsdf
\newpage
\section*{About the Author}
some text about the author
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\contentsline{section}{\numberline{}About the Author}{End Page}}
\end{document}
