Born out of Columbus, Georgia and raised mostly by her mother, with the help of her father. Hines has always had an interest in writing, even at a young age. It was only diary entries and small thoughts on scraps of paper at first, but then as the years went on, she started to put her words into poems and songs and eventually, around her young adult years, reading quickly became one of my most favored pastimes.
Reading books with interesting plots and imaginative worlds and characters was the reason she began to take an interest in writing her own imaginative stories. Hines became a closet writer; writing small short stories, even though they were never finished, just for hobby.
It wasn't until she became inspired by two of her favorite authors, S.C. Stephens and Nicky Charles, books that Hines decided to take a chance and post one of her own stories on a popular public site made for people to freely share their works with others. Not expecting anything, not even reads, she was surprised when her stories started to spark a buzz and people began to take an interest in the stories that she had created.
Taking the wonderful comments, votes and followers she had accumulated; including the support of her family, as fuel to build her confidence in writing, Hines decided to make what she loved to do most into a career. Now with her first self published book, which was just released September 1, of 2012, the first book of a vampire teen fiction novel series entitled Pain & Pleasure: Perplexed Love, Author Whitney T. Hines is excited to make her mark on the world with her creative stories.
She hopes her first book, of many, inspires people and gives them a creative world to disappear to as did many of her favorite books.
