Frank McNair, author of Life on the Line, grew up and played football in small-town southeastern North Carolina.  Frank studied at the Duke Writer’s Workshop, and Life on the Line is his first novel.  He is working on a second book – this one about the life of Christian faith – entitled A Creeping Certainty.​

He graduated from the University of North Carolina, where he was a Morehead Scholar and an undistinguished student.  After a brief stint in banking, Frank entered the MBA program at Wake Forest University, graduating in 1978.  For a decade he held a range of sales and marketing positions in the corporate world.  In 1988, Frank joined his wife, Laura, in her consulting and training business. They have been business partners in McNair & McNair for thirty years.

Frank has written two non-fiction books for business readers: The Golden Rules for Managers and How You Make the Sale. Both are available online and wherever books are sold.​

Laura and Frank are active members of their church community where they teach, visit, and participate in mission trips.  They live with their beloved chocolate lab, Buddy Brown, in a house overlooking the woods in Winston-Salem, NC.
