A love of dogs is evident in Frezon’s writing. She says her childhood dog, Happy, was “that special pet that comes along once in a lifetime, can read your thoughts and appears just when you need him.” Frezon and her husband have raised a Dalmatian show dog, a devoted Yellow Lab, and now a sweet Cocker Spaniel/Long-haired Dachshund mix. Kelly is the subject of many current stories and articles.
Frezon has two children: Kate is a graduate of Cornell University who works as a web designer, and Andy is an IT/Management student at Rensselaer (PRI) and an avid baseball player. Frezon lives with her husband Mike, and of course, Kelly.
Frezon belongs to the Hudson Valley Writer’s Guild, The East Greenbush Writer’s Group and an online writer’s group, Marbleshapers. Other members of Marbleshapers are Susan Karas, Catherine Madera, Wanda Rosseland, Stephanie Thompson, Julie Garmon, B.J. Taylor, and Mary Lou Reed.
