Mountains Wanted offers consulting, editing, proofreading, and social media management to indie authors. Learn about Mountains Wanted services.

Krista Venero, CEO of Mountains Wanted Indie Author Services and Publishing, first began writing when she was a young child. Poems and songs turned into novels by the time she was in elementary school. Krista is the indie author and publisher of twenty-eight books, writing romance under the names Phoebe Alexander and K.L. Montgomery. In 2018, after working more than twelve years in higher education, she pursued her lifelong dream of writing and editing full-time. When she’s not working (which is almost never!), she enjoys spending time with her husband, three sons, and four fur babies, at her home in coastal Delaware.

Tina Kissinger is a retired teacher who has always had a knack for grammar and editing. After eight amazing years of working with gifted children, she decided to stay home and be mom to her three children full time. Now that her children are either at college or teenagers, Tina has been looking for her next adventure. She enjoys traveling, landscaping, and spending time with her family and her dog, Bear. In 2018, she became certified as a Reiki master.
