About the Author: Pat Frayne is the award-winning author of Topaz the Conjure Cat Books for middle-grade kids who love cats, fairies, and high adventure.

My solution is to go for a walk, climb a few hills, breath in the fresh air and listen to the birds. Sometimes it may help to meditate, or simply take a short nap.
One thing I try not to do is stay away from my computer too, too long.(less)

Quotes by Pat Frayne  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Favorite Quotations.
I speak my mind because it hurts to bite my tongue.
The worth of a book is measured by what you carry away from it.
It's not over till it's over.
Imagination is everything.
All life is an experiment.
What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls the butterfly.”
Pat Frayne, Tales of Topaz the Conjure Cat: Part I Topaz and the Evil Wizard & Part II Topaz and the Plum-Gista Stone

“The mind is not a vessel that needs filling but wood that needs igniting."

Piutarch”
Pat Frayne, Tales of Topaz the Conjure Cat: Part I Topaz and the Evil Wizard & Part II Topaz and the Plum-Gista Stone

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.”
Bernard M. Baruch

“It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it.”
Maurice Switzer, Mrs. Goose, Her Book

“Great heroes need great sorrows and burdens, or half their greatness goes unnoticed. It is all part of the fairy tale.”
Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn

“If you take a book with you on a journey," Mo had said when he put the first one in her box, "an odd thing happens: The book begins collecting your memories. And forever after you have only to open that book to be back where you first read it. It will all come into your mind with the very first words: the sights you saw in that place, what it smelled like, the ice cream you ate while you were reading it... yes, books are like flypaper—memories cling to the printed page better than anything else.”
Cornelia Funke, Inkheart

“If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.”
Toni Morrison

Pat Frayne Hi Pat, Hi Kris, I'm getting a Kindle for Christmas. So, I'll finally be able to relax and read and review some books. So much to do with marketing, writing, reading and keeping up with friends. It's pretty overwhelming at times. I don't know how you all find time to blog. Have another paperback coming out soon and need to find a less time consuming, more effective way to promote the books.
