Excerpt:
When Professor Gatlin says Jake’s name I almost fall out of my chair. I immediately start searching the room for him. He was always a nice person and so handsome. When the Kimble’s moved in next door, my brother and I claimed Jake as our brother, and we were inseparable. It broke my young heart when they moved away. We all made promises with each other to stay in touch, but as young teens, we got interested in other things and life continued.

She often took books to the woods or barns and occasionally up in a tree to have a few minutes to read. When she graduated from high school, she joined the Marine Corps for an education and adventure. Where she met and married the love of her life. While enjoying the military gypsy life, traveling the world, they raised their family. Having been an avid reader her entire life and occasionally writing shorts, Whitney finally started writing in earnest after becoming an empty nester.
In her writings, Whitney combines real-life experiences with a splash of fantasy, a dash of mystery and a budding romance.
