Leif (Existence #2.5) cover reveal

    While writing Predestined, I fell in love with Leif. He is misunderstood and he has a pretty whacked up life. I knew that I would have to give him his own trilogy in 2013. However, before I can do that, I wanted to share with readers Leif's POV from Predestined. Give them a closer look into his life and let them into his head. There were so many things Pagan didn't know about Leif and her history with him. The idea behind Leif was born. I am not giving an exact date just yet but I can tell you that Leif will release this summer. It will be a novella and although many of the scenes will be ones you remember from Predestined, Leif has a story all his own to tell. 



                                                 "She was mine.                                                  I owned her soul.                                          Until, Death stole her heart."                                                           -Leif 

The LAST teaser before its release

The Vincent Brothers releases June 5, 2012. I've posted four other teasers on my blog over the past two months. This will be the last one. Remember The Vincent Boys is only .99 on Amazon and Barnes & Noble until the release of The Vincent Brothers.


      “Hey! You passed Hanks,” Ethan announced pointing his finger toward the burger place we normally went to eat. 

       “Not going to Hanks,” was my only response. They were the ones who jumped in my truck. If they didn’t like my need to get out of Grove then they could walk back to town when we got to where I was headed.        “You leaving Grove?” Jake asked.       “Yep.”        Ethan sighed and leaned back in the seat, “We may end up in Florida before he stops this damn truck.”        “Florida? I’m starving and a cheeseburger from Hanks would’ve fixed that,” Jake grumbled.         Slowing down the truck, I pulled over and glanced back at Jake, “You’re welcome to get out and walk back.”        His eyes widened and he slowly shook his head. “No man, that’s okay. I’m good.”       I pulled back onto the road and ignored the exchange between the guys. They both thought I was nursing a broken-heart. Well, they were right.        No one said another word until I pulled the truck into the parking lot of Wings. I’d driven about twenty miles south to the next town big enough for decent restaurants.        “You should’ve told me you were headed to Wings. I’d have shut up,” Jake made an excited whoop as he jerked open the backdoor of the truck and jumped out.        This was somewhere I’d never eaten with Ash. There weren’t many places that I didn’t have a memory of her so my choices had been limited. Tonight, I needed to get my mind off of Ashton and focus on my future—or at least my summer.

The Vincent Brothers June 5, 2012

A new exclusive excerpt from The Vincent Brothers coming June 5, 2012
       Before I reached the door, Sawyer walked inside. His eyes seemed a little glassy and his normally perfectly styled hair was messy. I stopped and watched him as he scanned the room until his eyes found me and stopped. A slow grin spread across his lips and he sauntered toward me. Or was he staggering a little?        “Hey Lana, what you doin’ all alone?”        I swallowed the nervous knot in my throat as he stood so close my arm was touching his. “Uh, well, Ash and Beau went,” I pointed toward the stairs unable to tell him what they’d gone to do.        His amused smile became an angry snarl as he shifted his focus to the steps leading upstairs like they were repugnant. Great, I’d got him all worked up over Beau and Ashton, again.        A warm hand closed around my hand and I squeaked in surprise. Sawyer chuckled and slipped his fingers between mine, “Come on sweet little Lana. You can come entertain me since you’ve been stranded. Besides, I’ve been looking at those sexy legs of yours all night. You make them shorts look real good.”        I gaped at him as he pulled me over to an empty couch. Had Sawyer just said my legs were sexy? I didn’t have time to think about his statement before he was pulling me  down to sit in his lap.        He buried his face in my hair and inhaled loudly, “Damn you smell good,” he murmured. One of his hands slipped around my waist and his hand spread out across the front of my bare stomach while he wrapped a lock of my hair around his finger with his other hand.

A Jax POV

It's Breathe's one year anniversary! In celebration I have posted a scene from Breathe retold in Jax POV http://www.abbiglines.com/2012/05/bre...

Breathe's ONE year anniversary

 Today I have officially been a published author for 1 year. So much has happened this year it is hard to take it all in, at times. When Breathe released last May I really didn't expect people to buy it but then I think that most new authors feel this way. But people did buy it and many loved it and then it had its haters too. I developed a lot of thick skin through that time. I actually use to read my bad reviews back then. I took a lot of the ones I agreed with into account when I wrote The Vincent Boys. I no longer read the bad reviews. I decided to just write what I wanted to read and let those that love it enjoy it and those that hate it… well, hate it. Everyone has an opinion and they have a right to share it. Needless to say I've grown as an author this past year. My skin is very thick. I don't get upset over bad reviews. And I actually have readers!  One of those readers has done several art pieces for my books. Just yesterday she posted a picture she did for Breathe and it's one year anniversary. I loved it and wanted to share- Art-By-Maryam
Now in celebration of Breathe's one year anniversary I've rewritten a scene from Breathe in Jax point-of-view. For those who haven't read the book, Breathe is told completely in Sadie's point-of-view. I've written a few Jax scenes over the past year but it has been awhile since I posted the last one. So, I wrote a completely new one today. It is where Jax sings to Sadie on the beach...


       This had been a completely selfish decision. Although it was serving it’s purpose, the fear that I’d gone too far was there in the back of my mind. Reminding me that this was not safe. Sadie’s life could completely blow up after tonight. But I’d wanted to do this. Making sure everyone in this small town knew Sadie White was taken had been more important than anything else at the moment. I hadn’t thought through the repercussions of coming here tonight.  “So, is Star seeing anyone? They only ever show her with you.” A guy sitting across the fire from us asked as he leaned forward resting his elbows on his knees in wait of my answer. His gaze shifted from me to Sadie quickly and I could see the interest in his eyes. He wasn’t interested in Star. He was trying to call me out in front of Sadie. The girl beside him shot an annoyed frown in Sadie’s direction and confirmed what I’d already picked up on. He was interested and Sadie of course was completely clueless. She had no idea the affect she had on guys.   Sadie cleared her throat to cover up a small chuckle and I turned my attention from the curious crowd we’d gathered to look down at the reason I was here tonight. Sadie smiled up at me with an amused grin before taking a bite of the hot dog I’d roasted her over the fire.  “I’m not sure. I don’t exactly keep tabs on Star’s love life,” I replied not taking my eyes off Sadie.  More questions were asked but I didn’t hear them. I’d answered enough questions for the night. Sitting among her peers and making sure every guy here knew Sadie was mine had been accomplished. Now, I wanted her alone. No more questions about my music, Star, or personal life.  I stood up and reached for Sadie’s hand. “If you’ll excuse us, I want to go dance with Sadie.” Her big blue eyes flashed a surprised smile up at me as I pulled her close against my side before leading her to a secluded moonlit section of the beach.  I squatted down and picked up one of Sadie’ small feet and slipped off one of those heels that had been causing me to salivate all night. Her legs were long enough without the help of the heels but damn if they weren’t hot.   After I had her barefoot, I placed her shoes beside mine. Glancing back at the D.J. who was watching me closely waiting on my cue I gave him a nod to let him know I was ready for that request now. Instantly familiar music began pouring through the speakers and I pulled Sadie in my arms. I’d been singing this song at every venue I performed at over the past year but I’d never much cared for it. This had been one of those songs that didn’t really click with me, until now. Leaning down so I was closer to Sadie’s ear I placed a small kiss on her temple then began to sing,“Let me hold you close just for tonight. When you’re not in my arms, nothing seems right. Just to see your smile lights up my darkest night. So, baby, please dance with me in the moonlight.”This song would never be the same for me. I leaned back and tilted Sadie’s face up so I could look into those eyes that had enraptured me from the first moment I saw them. “Your touch is my only addiction. Your heartbeat takes my breath away. You’ll break my heart if you don’t stay. Your whispers sing to me each night, and your laugh is my only sun.“Hold me and whisper you love me.  me and tell me there’s no world without you beside me. Hold me, I need you to guide me. I can’t live without you. Hold me and whisper you love me. Hold me and tell me there’s no world without you beside me. Hold me, I need you to guide me.”The emotion in her eyes as I gazed down at her literally took my breath away. How was I ever going to leave her? How would I ever sing this song again without her there, close beside me?  “I’ve never understood those words until tonight. I sang them, but I didn’t write them. I didn’t want to record the song, but I lost the battle. Now, when I sing those words, I’ll have a face to put behind them.” The tightness in my chest surprised me but I knew why it was there. “I just hope I’m able to get through those words when you’re a thousand miles away.” Sadie didn’t say a word. She blinked several times and the unshed tears in her eyes glistened in the moonlight. Making myself miserable thinking about it was one thing but I hated myself for doing this to her. For now, I could hold on to her and reassure myself she was mine. I had her here in my arms. Pulling her tightly against me, Sadie came willingly and laid her head against my chest. The ache that had tightened inside eased some but the fear... it was still there.

You would think after helping save her boyfriend from an eternity in Hell that things would go back to normal. Well, as normal as life can be when you can see souls and your boyfriend is Death. But for Pagan Moore, things are just getting weirder. The high school quarterback and reigning heartthrob, Leif Montgomery, is missing. While the town is in a frenzy of worry, Pagan is a nervous wreck for other reasons. Apparently good ‘ol Leif isn’t your average teenage boy. He isn’t even human. According to Death, Leif doesn’t have a soul. The quarterback may have skipped town but he’s still showing up in Pagan’s dreams... uninvited. Dank has known from the beginning Leif wasn’t human. But he hadn’t worried about a simple soulless creature. Now, he realizes he made a grave mistake.

And he’s already proven he’ll defy Heaven to keep her. If Hell wants a piece of him too,  then bring it on. 

Because of Low

         “He isnʼt like us Low. You know that right.”          I knew what Cage was saying. Marcus was out of my league. He didnʼt want me thinking there could ever be anything between me and his roommate. I was low class. Marcus was a rich kid.  “Iʼm not stupid Cage.”  “No youʼre fucking brilliant. And a guy like Marcus would never get just how fucking perfect and brilliant you are. Heʼd never see past the other stuff.”  I wanted to be mad at him but I knew he was right. If Marcus ever saw what I came from, what I was, heʼd never give me the time of day.  “I know,” I whispered into the dark.         “I love you Low”         “I love you too”         “Then take this,” he said as he slipped a key into my hand and closed my fist over it. “Iʼll be able to relax knowing you have a key.

Excerpt from Because of Low-
“He isnʼt like us Low. You know that right.”
I knew what Cage was saying. Marcus was out of my league. He didnʼt want me thinking there could ever be anything between me and his roommate. I was low class. Marcus was a rich kid.
“Iʼm not stupid Cage.”
“No youʼre fucking brilliant. And a guy like Marcus would never get just how fucking perfect and brilliant you are. Heʼd never see past the other stuff.”
I wanted to be mad at him but I knew he was right. If Marcus ever saw what I came from, what I was, heʼd never give me the time of day.
“I know,” I whispered into the dark.
“I love you Low”
“I love you too”
“Then take this,” he said as he slipped a key into my hand and closed my fist over it. “Iʼll be able to relax knowing you have a key."
