 EXTRACT OF REVIEW

Revenge of Zeeka, by Brenda Mohammed, is a one-of-a-kind novella trilogy that delivers an incredible story guaranteed to give readers an absolute sci-fi treat. I especially liked how Brenda used current events as the pivotal point from which to build this amazing sci-fi horror. This made the story even more relatable. More importantly, however, I admired how she owned her story and created this captivating version of events. She captured with amazing depth the setting, characters, plot, and emotions in such few words. If you are looking for a thrilling short read, this fast-paced, sci-fi action novella will give you the time of your life.

“If you are now getting into writing, read this book before you begin. The ideas generated will be of great help to you as Brenda uses her own experiences, as she said, from her trials and errors in her writing journey. You will learn a lot from the Questions and Answers Segment of the book. I did.

 MEMOIRS OF DR. ANDREW MOONIR KHAN

https://readersfavorite.com/book-review/memoirs-of-dr-andrew-moonir-khan

 EXTRACT OF REVIEW

This biography is well researched, and the author allows the subject to speak for himself through the narrative by making references to Dr. Khan's own memoirs. The writing is beautiful, journalistic, and it is enriched by the social commentaries and historical references that allow readers vivid glimpses of what life was like in the first half of the twentieth century. The setting comes out clearly, and while the reader gets a clear picture of locales and places, the author catches the soul of the people in a brilliant way

 BARRY HOLMES MYSTERIES

https://readersfavorite.com/book-review/barry-holmes-mysteries

EXTRACT OF REVIEW

 I found the stories simple, but the plots unusual. From the beginning, the author seizes the reader's interest and draws the reader into the lives of her characters and the beautiful Caribbean Islands. Each story holds all the elements of a good mystery novel: well-rounded characters, a solid plot, and twists that unfold as the crimes are solved. The author is known for her diverse interests and writing abilities, which come out in her stories. I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to other Barry Holmes mysteries." 

CHOSEN BY THE CREATOR

https://readersfavorite.com/book-review/chosen-by-the-creator

 EXTRACT OF REVIEW

For any newcomer to the Bible, Mohammed's clear and simple explanation of the primary focus of each book is illuminating.
Her earnest and heartfelt urging that "all God wants from us is obedience" is a resounding call to us to listen to the word of God and to obey. In short, Chosen by the Creator: Bible Stories is a wonderful supplement to the Bible, although, as Mohammed clearly states, it is certainly no replacement for it.

WHY I WROTE A SERIES FOR ASPIRING WRITERS

 





My writing journey began after I retired from the corporate world, and my first memoir, I am Cancer Free, was published in June 2013. 

I was a successful banker, and after I retired from banking, I moved on to insurance, where I excelled. I qualified for the prestigious Million Dollar Round Table six times in a row and gained Life Membership. As I was an MDRT member, I had the privilege to attend the MDRT Conferences abroad. Those opportunities helped me to expand my knowledge in new areas. After my dear death experience with cancer, I wrote, I am Cancer Free. I also wrote four other memoirs, My Life as a Banker, and one about my life after banking, Retirement is Fun.  I travelled extensively on vacations and conferences for many years of my life during my Banking and Insurance careers, and I wrote Travel Memoirs

I compiled and published my father’s memoirs, Memoirs of Dr. A. M. Khan. He was an Educator.

When I wrote my first book in 2013, I was just writing for pleasure. In fact, it was not for pleasure because the book was about my bout with cancer. I wanted to relate my experience with that dreaded disease so that others in similar circumstances could learn from it. I made no effort to do any marketing of the book. I did not realise that although I had written one book, I was a writer, a business manager, marketer, and entrepreneur.

The book sold on its own because of the name, but if I had marketed it properly, I could have obtained a greater amount of sales. I kept on writing. I wrote a few more books, but I was not doing anything to put them into the hands of readers or obtain reviews. I did not even have social media accounts.

One day, I heard my niece talking about Facebook, and I decided to open a Facebook page. I joined several Facebook discussion groups for authors. From the discussions, I realized I needed to advertise my books if I wanted reviews.

I decided to take the easy way out and give up writing. I thought that I was a failure at it. However, I remembered the words of Anthony Robbins in his international bestseller, “Unlimited Power.”

‘There is no such thing as failure. There are only results. Failure is something that is not perceived by people who achieve greatness. They do not dwell on it.’ 

 Another small voice within me reminded me that my motto all my life was, “Never give up.” 

I reflected on my life. When things were rough, I never gave up on banking, and I climbed the ladder to success.

In 2014, I wrote Heart-Warming Tales and Stories People Love. Both books are short story collections.  They each received five-star reviews from readers, but I still felt that I needed to write some more exciting stories.

In 2016, an idea for a science fiction series came to me, and in February 2016, I published Zeeka and the Zombies: Revenge of Zeeka Book 1. Within a few months, I released Zeeka’s Child Book 2 and Zeeka Returns Book 3.

I had compiled the first three books into a trilogy called Revenge of Zeeka: Horror Trilogy. In September 2016, I submitted the trilogy to Reader’s Favorite for a free review. The book received a five-star review and a five-star seal.

In 2017, I added two more books to the series - Zeeka’s Ghost Book 4 and Resurrection Book 5. I compiled the five books into one book called Zeeka Chronicles

I sent Zeeka Chronicles to Reader’s Favorite International, and it received a five-star review and five-star seal. In September 2017, the book won an award in the Best Science Fiction category of the SIBA Awards.   

Because of the many successes that I achieved in 2017, I decided to write How to Write for Success as a guide for new authors.

In that book, which I published on my birthday, 1st December 2017, I explained the steps I took to become a better writer.

I had a burning desire to share my knowledge with new writers. 

I believe that mistakes are stepping-stones to success.

The book covers how to plan a story, draft the plot, write narrative and dialogue, build characters, build a story world, and do the nitty-gritty stuff before and after you publish your book. I also delved into how to market the book, get sales, and reviews, and gave a practical example of how to publish a book. When these salient matters are clear in your mind, you can feel comfortable starting your writing journey. The book received a five-star review from Reader’s Favorite International.

In 2018, I was elated to receive the gold award for Zeeka Chronicles in the Science Fiction category of the Emagazine Reader’s Choice Awards. The book also placed in the top ten finalists for the Author Academy Global Awards.

In 2018, I received the best news. Zeeka Chronicles won an award in the Reader’s Favorite International Book Awards 2018, in the category of young adult, and I am Cancer Free won an award in the category of Health and Fitness at the same award function. It was a double celebration.

I travelled to Miami to receive those awards.

In 2018, Memoirs of Dr. A.M. Khan: Journey of an Educator received four five-star reviews from Reader’s Favorite International.

I continued to receive awards for Stories People Love, How to Write for Success, and Zeeka Chronicles.

I also wrote Volume II of How to Write for Success, which focuses not only on publishing and marketing, but on writing characters, writing for kids, memoirs, and fiction.  Self-Publishing Tips is the third in the How to Write for Success three-book series, and a simple guide for new and aspiring authors who want to be independent and learn the art of self-publishing.

To date, I have published 68 books, 68 audiobooks spanning various genres, including science fiction, memoir, horror, mystery, romance, self-help, poetry, children's books, anthologies, magazines, and three screenplays for my sci-fi, horror, and romance novels.

My horror screenplay for Zeeka and the Zombies II was selected as a finalist in the 13Horror-com Film & Screenplay Contest in September 2025.

My romance/mystery screenplay, The Gift of Love, was selected in the Quarterfinals Stage 32 + DramaBox Screenwriting Competition in April 2026.

ZEEKA'S SHADOW DANCES WHERE HORROR GLEAMS

 



Dear Readers,

Today, I want to entertain you with a poem on my successful screenplay.

ZEEKA AND THE ZOMBIES

From steelpan echoes to severed dreams,

Zeeka’s shadow dances where horror gleams.

In the heart of Carnival chaos and dread,

An evil man takes revenge using the dead.

*

What was his reason for such a massacre?

For many years, he was building up his anger.

His first lover jilted him to marry another.

He kidnapped her son, thinking he was the father.

*

His wife caught the zika virus while she was pregnant.

She died after giving birth to a boy who needed medical

 attention.

He raised him among the zombies he created.

He injected dead babies with a serum, and they resurrected.

*

They were used to kill and destroy in his vengeful plan.

But good triumphed over evil on the scenic Caribbean island.

The boy he kidnapped studied science and medicine.

His miracle cures replaced Carnival with Medical Tourism.

CHOSEN BY THE CREATOR REVEALS GOD'S PLAN FOR HUMANKIND


 CHOSEN BY THE CREATOR. – BOOK TRAILER

In the beginning, God had a plan for humankind.

From the creation of Adam and Eve to the calling of His Chosen Ones.

One man was chosen to fulfil a promise that could not be broken.

From Genesis to Revelation, God called ordinary people like Noah, Abraham, Moses, Joshua, Jacob [Israel], Jeremiah, Hosea, Obadiah, and John the Baptist.

Until the time was right, Jesus Christ was born.

Because of His love for us, He died to redeem us from our sins.

Greater love hath no man.

One message prevails – Obedience and Love.

BIBLICAL PROPHECY IS BEING FULFILLED

 


Have you ever wondered what the world would be like?
If Adam and Eve had eaten of the tree of life,
instead of the tree of knowledge of good and evil?
The world would have been free of all trouble.
*
With God as the Supreme Leader, peace would have reigned forever.
There’d be no national governments, military, violence, or wars, ever.
No need for hospitals, doctors, and nurses to treat illnesses,
No jails, prisons, police force, banks, or national budgets.
*
God’s plan for Adam and Eve was for them to live forever in a paradise of perfection.
To be fruitful and replenish the earth and have multiple descendants.
But they disobeyed Him and ate the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden.
They were banished to Earth to begin a life of redemption.
*
Since then, the world has been in turmoil, but God devised another plan.
God made a Covenant with Abraham to initiate a plan for humanity’s redemption.
God promised to make Abraham's descendants into a "great nation."
He provided them with the vast and fruitful ancient land of Canaan.
*
Sin continued to prevail in the world, and God hates sin.
But God loves humankind and found a way to forgive our sins.
He sent His Only Son, Jesus Christ, to die in our place.
He wants us to live forever with HIM, redeemed by His grace.
*
Humankind’s greatest desire is to live forever.
God is offering this to all who accept His Son, on a platter.
Scientists are always seeking ways to extend lifespans.
To date, they have only been successful with organisms.
*
Scientists have created frightful weapons of mass destruction,
The weapons are capable of erasing life from Earth in seconds.
Despite higher education, crime, famine, starvation, violence, and poverty,
Continue to exist with wars, diseases, and immorality.
*
Jesus said in Matthew 24:14, the gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the entire world.
It will be a testimony to all nations, and then Jesus' second coming will occur.
This will be the "trigger" or necessary sign for the final return of HIM.
Be prepared, Jesus is coming soon, because countries and nations are declaring that HE is King.
