Amber: Welcome Pat Frayne, an author of cat stories who loves her rescue dog Charlie.
Pat: This is Charlie, our nine year old
black lab, border collie mix. He was thirteen months old when we adopted him
from a family who had two other dogs. They'd rescued him from the streets of
Phoenix when he was just a puppy.
We call Charlie our wild child, because he gets along better with coyotes than he does with other dogs. Actually, he prefers people to other animals. He especially loves children.
For a nine year old dog,
Charlie’s in good shape. He walks 3-4 miles a day with Ron. When we first got
him he had a stainless steel chain on his neck. His legs looked longer because
he was lean and almost totally black. He looked like a prince. People used to
turn around and stare at him. He really was a beautiful dog.
Pat Frayne,
grandmother, author and retired registered nurse lives with her husband, Ron
and their black lab mix, Charlie, in a small town in northern Arizona.
Pat writes fast-paced adventurous mysteries about a mystical cat with unique powers. They're a bit scary, lots of fun with an emphasis on the value of friendship and loyalty. The creation of the character, Daisy, a young fawn with hazel eyes, was inspired by Pat's granddaughter, Cait. Daisy makes her first appearance in Topaz and the Plum-Gista Stone. The second book in the series Tales ofTopaz the Conjure Cat. The books can be read in any order.
