Three friends. One agenda: get money…

Trina Bell, single mother of three, can’t seem to make ends meet working at a fast food restaurant. Mia Jackson, wife of a notorious incarcerated kingpin, is left fending for herself after the Feds confiscate money from their joint account. China Frasier’s recent divorce leaves her with a huge house but not enough money to take care of the monthly expenses.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write Venom In My Veinz ?

Rumont TeKay: I was inspired much like Wahida Clark. While doing time, a very talented author caught my attention with his novels. He wasn’t the first to do it, but his books were the first to resonate with me. His name is Victor L. Martin. After I read his first book, the flame within me was lit.
