Fran earned both her B.S. and her M.E. in English from the University of Southern Mississippi, whose football team dominates her family’s life in the fall. After an early retirement from teaching English and journalism, she now spends her time reading, writing, and enjoying the quiet bayou harbor where she and her husband live.

About the author
Thanks for stopping by my page. I grew up along the beaches and waterways of the Mississippi Gulf Coast and use these settings in some of my books. I write tender/sweet romances that fall into the G to PG rating.
In 2006 Avalon Books, a library distributor, published my first book A LIGHT IN THE DARK then went on to publish two other ones. My last book with Avalon, ON THE CREST OF A WAVE, was a finalist in the 2010 National Readers' Choice Awards. It's one of my favorites because it is set on Ship Island in the Gulf of Mexico. During my childhood I spent a tremendous amount of time on the island as my mother's family ran the ferries to the island and my parents worked there periodically. I even spent the night in the Civil War fort during a storm.
My next book, WINDSWEPT, was released by Amazon Montlake in December 2012. WINDSWEPT is set in beautiful Key West, FL. I dipped my toes in the Indie waters with the publication of two books PLAYING WITH FEELING and FOREVER, MY LOVE, then went on to have two romantic suspense novels published by The Wild Rose Press. SAVING THE CHILDREN and KEEPING HOPE ALIVE have Special Ops heroes.
As you can see I don't stick with one genre. Right now I'm working on a contemporary inspirational. I love using children, teens and the elderly in my stories and this new one is set in a nursing home.
My husband of 46 years and I live on a quiet bayou harbor along the Gulf Coast and love spending time together boating, fishing, and visiting nearby islands.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2008Yes, we Southerners can read, some of us can even write, and some of us can write in splendid fashion especially those born in Mississippi. Add Fran McNabb to that list. This is a wonderful story, very true to life but still leaving the reader feeling that in spite of loss and sorrow, life can still provide a lot of good experiences. This is a great book to curl up with by the fire on a cold winter's night--or read under a big umbrella on the beach on a summer day. The writing flows, the descriptions are vivid, and every chapter is enjoyable. You'll remember this one with good feelings. So get it and read and enjoy.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2014Having friends who have lost a spouse ( to death) trying to find a way of making their way in the dark really hit home with me.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2013The story was sweet and endearing. I would only change one thing. Paul developed much younger than the others. I couldn't help feeling that he was not fitting in because of his age.
