Christy Frazier

Christy Frazier has been in love with words ever since she learned how to write her name with red finger-paint in Kindergarten. Christy mainly writes young adult urban fantasy novels. Her Untamed Dreams series is no longer a trilogy due to her fans reaction to ending the series. They wanted more, so she wrote more! She is has also written a self-help book for parents and their children currently titled: “All Kids Are Smart”. Which was inspired from her 18 years of teaching elementary children. Her newest novel, The Bench, took her nearly six years to write. She began writing it to help her cope with the passing of her mother from cancer. She feels that the time to publish it finally felt right. She currently has published nine novels, 3 self-help books and several children’s picture books. About the author Christy Frazier, is an internationally published writer and award winning photographer. She received her degree in “Art Commercial Photography” from Weber State University.

    Mrs. Frazier, you truly affected me so much as a child. You taught me the most about my potential. One day I would like for my little girl to meet you.

    Mrs Frazier is an awesome teacher. She always does activities that push her students to the limit. The students sometimes struggle, and she motivates them to try their hardest and do their best. She has motivated me and many others to be the best we can be in school, and in life.
