about me

Meet June Whyte.

A former school teacher, competitive horse rider, and greyhound trainer, June Whyte has always dreamed of being an author.
She wrote her first full-length story (with chapters) when she was nine-years-old – Donald McDonald in Texas – a story involving a rather extraordinary boy who rode buck-jumpers in a rodeo.

And when she penned her first murder mystery, Murder Behind Bars, it resulted in her fifth-grade teacher questioning her home life.
Even now, in retirement, June’s favorite spot is sitting in front of her computer, drawing on her knowledge of greyhounds and horses to create humorous mysteries for both adults and younger teens.

Her Kat McKinley greyhound series, starting with Chasing Can Be Murder, is laugh out loud funny, as is her Chiana Ryan, PI, ‘tween’ mystery series, starting with, The Case of the Disappearing Corpse.

She’s also written Murder at Kangaroo Downs, the first of a cozy mystery series, Vets2U, which is similar to the TV show, Rosemary & Thyme – but instead of gardeners, Emily and Maggie are veterinarians. This series is for animal lovers – especially those who love horses.
