Please join Fran at Southern Writers Magazine’s blog, Suite T on January 29, 2014, as she talks about using experience in writing.

Fran will present a program at the regular meeting of the the Gulf Coast Writers Association. Guests are welcome.
Place: East Biloxi Library.
Date & Time: March 22, 2014, 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Come visit with Fran at Ron Myers Harbor Fest on March 29th at Jones Park in Gulfport, MS, on the beach where Hwy 49 meets Hwy 90. Fran will be in Booth 29 and will have copies of all of her books, hand-painted bookmarks and hand-painted eggs. She’d love to sit and talk with you.

Even in this high-tech world of fast living, each of us has a place of escape.

My place is a quiet bayou harbor. The mirror slick surface of the black water and the swaying marsh grasses take me from season to season, not with changing colors, but with the wildlife it supports. Graceful herons, snowy white egrets, and crash-diving pelicans live alongside of alligators, blue crabs, and playful otters. Thousands of minnows bring the water to life in the spring, and mullet jump across the water in summer and fall.

Most of my stories are set along the beaches, islands, and waterways of the Gulf Coast. Ironically my first novel was set in the beautiful mountains of West Virginia. Even so, my heroine found her escape - and her love - in a beautiful snow-covered setting.

If you can't physically get away, I hope you'll pick up a book - one of my romances, of course - and let yourself escape into a world where your problems are set aside for a few hours and love always wins.

My newest book Windswept is available from Montlake Romance through Amazon (Paperback and Kindle).

En route to marry the fiancé handpicked by her father, Virginia Ames gets shipwrecked off the coast of the beautiful Florida Keys. Her rescuer, the dashing Captain Slader, is a wrecker who specializes in salvaging cargo from sunken vessels. As a native New Englander, Virginia grew up in wealth but felt most comfortable on the docks, among the ships. This special connection to the sea is one of the few things the privileged heiress and the rugged captain share. But mixed with the captain’s handsome looks, could this passion be enough to drive Virginia’s marriage plans off course?

Captain John Slader is no stranger to the winds of change himself. He’d once lost the thing he held most dear: his family. But now that those same winds have sent him the lovely Virginia, will he risk his heart yet again? Virginia’s fiancé, an up-and-coming politician, may be able to offer her a world of wealth and comfort—but could he cherish her as John would, with a love as boundless as the ocean itself?

If you like Fran McNabb's books, check out her contemporary romances written under the name Fran Fisher.

Fran Fisher books: Playing with Feeling, and Forever, My Love -- and a new Bayou Cove Series (See Below).

Life in Bayou Cove moves in slow rhythmic cycles, but beneath the idyllic setting, the men and women of the small coastal community face day-to-day turmoil as they search for love and happiness. Look for: Threads of Steel, Harbor Breeze and Cooling Waters.

All of her books are available in print as well as digitally on Amazon Kindle editions, Kobo, and Barnes & Noble. You don't need a special device to read most eBooks. Formats for your computer and mobile devices are readily available for free.
