Abbi Glines was born in Birmingham, Alabama. She grew up in the small town of Sumiton, Alabama where she left the summer she turned eighteen. She didn’t get far… she chased her high school sweetheart down to the coast and she’s been there ever since.
Abbi now lives in the quaint southern town of Fairhope, Alabama with her three children and husband Keith (the high school sweetheart she chased after). Her life is never dull and Keith always makes sure there is another “experience” for them to explore.
Books published by Abbi include The Vincent Boys and the USA TODAY bestseller The Vincent Brothers, Breathe, Because of Low, the USA TODAY bestsellers While It Lasts and Just For Now, The Existence Trilogy that includes the USA Today Bestseller Ceaseless, and The New York Times bestseller and Wall Street Journal bestseller Fallen Too Far. Currently she is working on Never Too Far, the sequel to Fallen too Far.
When Abbi isn’t locked away in her office typing away, she is hauling her kids to and from their many social activities. You could say her second job is the Glines Kids’ personal chauffeur. It’s a rather illustrious job.

So what can I say, I tried to hide my excitement when I said “can I now interview Abbi Glines”! I am a huge fan – I mean huge – I have read every book she has written sometimes twice and love the style she writes. I’ve been following her career since 2011 when she first published her first book, Breathe. She quickly became as you read above one of the top best selling authors in her genre. I feel like she is now right next to E.L. James in the department of book similarities, but quickly getting notice as such.
So when I first got to meet her one on one, I held my excitement and went into I-am-Oprah mode and started first told her quickly how much of a fan I was and knew of all the beaches she wrote about in her book since I lived in the Atlanta area for 8 years and our vacations were all in those beach areas. She smiled, then I smiled, and I really don’t remember what happened after that than just my interview, because I was so out of my mind that she was connecting with me. Anyway, I found out she is a mother and her hubby was here helping her during the signing and was a perfect Southern gentleman. I had a great time interviewing her. I laughed a lot – she is super funny – and so down to Earth that, for a moment, I forgot I was talking to one of my favorite rock star authors.
As you know, she is super busy and was not able to make time to fill out the pre-questions, but she emailed me recently (yeah – she emailed me!) and said she was in Australia and has been traveling ever since the author event and was sorry she could not get to it. G’day, mate! and safe travels Abbi!
