About Us

Kimberly Killion, our fearless leader, has 30 years of experience in marketing, communications and design. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts, a Certificate in Web Design, and she is an ACE. What’s an ACE, you ask? An Adobe Certified Expert. In addition to the paperwork, she also taught Graphic/Web Design at a technical college for over a decade. The majority of our designers were trained by Kimberly and have been with us for nearly 15 years. Oh, and she’s also the photographer for our sister site www.TheKillionGroupImages.com

Aside from being the Head Honcho, the Grand Poobah, the Queen of Everything at The Killion Group, Kimberly is also a RITA® nominated, award-winning author. She published traditionally with Kensington Publishing and has now joined the vast majority of authors in the Indie world.

Our resident Wench Whisperer, at least that’s where Jenn started with The Killion Group. She is our Formatting Queen, our Jack of All Trades, our Number Cruncher, our Lion Tamer and our Man-chest Oiler. At photoshoots, Jennifer is also the hair and make-up stylist and the “wind”.

Kindle #1 Best Selling author, Jennifer, was not only an RWA® Golden Heart® nominee for her debut novel, Rafe’s Redemption, she was also voted Best Romance of 2011 by DITHR. Her second book, Twice In A Lifetime, was a finalist in the 2012 International Digital Awards. Her third book, Eden’s Sin, was a novella written for an anthology with two of her Golden Heart® sisters.

Jennifer lives in the ‘woods’ in Missouri, keeping contact with civilization via email and cell phone. (She takes her love of all things Western and Pioneer seriously.) If she’s not busy formatting or writing, she loves watching old movies with her 7 cats!

“Abby” has had a deep love for visual art since the age of six when she declared, “When I grow up, I am going to be an artist!” That dream became a reality when she pursued a Graphic Design degree under the instruction of Kimberly Killion. Near the conclusion of her schooling, she was selected to participate in an internship with The Killion Group. As an intern, she was further trained by Kim, and she quickly fell in love with cover design.

After graduation, Abby was brought on as a full-time designer, where she has honed her skills as a professional pixel pusher. Her favorite genres to design for are contemporary, suspense, and paranormal, in addition to anything unusual—she loves a challenge!

Abby has lived in five states in her lifetime, and she currently resides in Kansas. When she isn’t designing, she loves spending time with her little family, traveling, exploring the outdoors, and working on her hobby of film photography.

Award-winning author, Barbara Bettis, has always loved history and English. As a college freshman, she briefly considered becoming an archeologist until she realized there likely would be bugs and snakes involved. And math.

A former journalist and college English and Journalism teacher, she now lives in Missouri, where she loves creating tales with heroines to die for—and heroes to live for.

When she’s not writing for herself, she edits for The Killion Group. Barb was honored this year when she found out one of the books she worked on was nominated for the RITA®. Yes, she’s THAT good!

Jennifer Bray-Weber is a Texas-born, Texas-bred girl. That means she’s loud, proud and a bit on the sassy side. Okay, really, she tips the scales on the sass. Award-winning and multi-published, Jenn writes historical romances, including the Romancing the Pirate series. She also writes urban fantasy and contemporary action-adventure romances as Harlowe Wilde.

She has been freelance editing for more than ten years and experiences frequent eye-twitches when she spots grammatical errors on billboards and social media sites. While many authors hate editing, Jenn, the crazed freak she is, loves everything about the process—from exploring improvements to spit-shining refinement.

She is a married beach bum with two girls, two dogs, and nine rescue cats. She loves the beach (was that already mentioned?), horses, muscle cars, tattoos, loud music, outdoor activities, reading, writing, scrapbooking, traveling, researching, fishing, shopping, dares, and, of course, carousing about like a pirate.
