For many years Whitney worked as a middle school teacher. She grew up reading and has always loved the power of a good story.  Her elementary school teachers introduced her to some of her favorite books including Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, The Three Investigators mystery series and A Wrinkle in Time.  Her first written work was The Mouse That Couldn't Eat Cheese back in second grade. She lives in coastal North Carolina with her husband, sons and the dogs that love them.
