In the literary world where most books entertain and serve as a guide of sorts, Veney’s first book, The Leader in You, was written to serve as a letter of instruction to help change lives by changing the way one thinks.  He believes that if you can change the narrative of not only how you speak to yourself, but also how you “allow” the world around you to speak to you, your life can be transformed exponentially.
As Veney travels and speaks, his message is clear and simple; “You cannot teach what you do not know, you cannot lead where you are not willing to go and if you want to see change, you have to become the change that you hope to see.”...  “CHANGE YOUR MIND, CHANGE YOUR LIFE”

​He currently resides in North Carolina, with his wife Tonjia, also a retired U.S. Marine who will be co-authoring his next project.

Keira is a 28-year-old Georgia native and mother of one. For six years, she selflessly served her country in the United States Navy as a Hospital Corpsman. Upon separation, she was awarded a Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal for her incomparable service and dedication to providing outstanding medical care. 

Keira's love for literature prompted her to pen her first two-book series in September of 2018, entitled, “The Other Woman.” Books 1 and 2 charted within the top ten of Amazon's Best Sellers list in African American Fiction and African American Romance. Her passion and talent led to her creating the brand Temporary Forevers, which provides literary escapes from the world through controversial and compelling stories of exaggerated realities.

Becoming a full-time author, educating and entertaining her readers are only a few of the goals Keira plans to attain by leaving her heart and soul on each and every page. Her hobbies include reading, shopping, spending time with family, writing, listening to music and traveling. She can be reached at the contact information below for book events and speaking engagements.

About her book, The Sweetest Taste of Sin synopsis:
For the wages of sin is death...
Khari Kinsley thought she'd found her happily ever after in Josiah, but over time she finds herself unfulfilled with their relationship. After fighting a losing battle to suppress her sinful urges, Khari redevelops a craving that Josiah can't satisfy. Her yearning for something new seduces her into the arms of another and they begin weaving a tangled web of desire and deceit.

As their secret affair progresses, Khari finds herself torn between the love of her life and the lover of her dreams, and when things take a dramatic turn, she quickly realizes just how deadly one Sin can be. 

Khari attempts to right her wrongs, but will she survive long enough to repent, or will her iniquities send her to an early grave?
​
Satisfy your sweet tooth by taking a bite into this juicy tale of interracial love, lies, and lust.
