Dr. Mark W. Mahowald, preeminent sleep specialist on parasomnias, has this to say in the foreword to Sleepwalker: “Kathleen Frazier’s powerful and beautifully written memoir successfully fills a huge void by providing helpful and valuable information on sleepwalking and sleep terrors by someone who is able to elucidate what these poorly understood phenomena are, how they are misinterpreted, and most importantly, the extent to which they may greatly affect one’s behavior and well-being… It is a book that will appeal to all—sleep being such an intimate and mysterious part of our human condition.”

Frazier lives and sleeps soundly with her family in New York City.
