Whitney Gayle grew up in rural America on a small family farm. There was always work to be done taking care of the animals, crops, gardens, or siblings. She often took books to the woods or barns and occasionally went up in a tree to have a few minutes to read. When she graduated from high school, she joined the Marine Corps for education and adventure. This is where she met and married the love of her life. While enjoying military life and 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. Her writing consists of YA, NA, and Contemporary Romance genres.
