FOREWORD - Brenda Mohammed - Founder.

INTERVIEW - Mary L Schmidt 

The How to Write for Success Literary Forum has produced four Amazon no 1 bestseller books in the last two years. 

Our reputation for producing bestsellers is unbeatable, and this new release, BREAK THE SILENCE - VOLUME 2, is our 5th bestseller. 

It is no secret that domestic violence has been on the rise during these Covid times. 

Daily newspaper reports can confirm this. 

Many persons have lost their jobs, and even homes, because of the severe economic downturn the pandemic has incurred. 

Businesses are closing down everywhere, and workers are left on the breadline. 

Both sexes suffer from domestic violence by their partners, or others. 

The lack of finances has prevented many from seeking professional advice.. 

When I read the newspaper on the morning of February 12th, 2020, and saw the murder/suicide of a wife and husband I was appalled. 

I penned a poem about the incident immediately. 

The newspapers reported that the couple was in love and got married. 

 I wondered how could love made in heaven turn sour and result in hatred and murder. 

 I was inspired to do an Anthology of Poems Against Domestic Violence. 

Together with 87 poets of the How to Write for Success Literary Network, we published BREAK THE SILENCE, and it attained the rank of Bestseller No 1. 

More than a year has passed and with the rising cases of abuse seen daily, we have decided to publish a second volume. 

We believe that persons in abusive situations must speak out against this menace in our society, and as writers, we will support them. 

We congratulate all participating poets.

The Kindle Version is FREE.

BREAK THE SILENCE TOPS THE CHARTS ON AMAZON

BREAK THE SILENCE: AN ANTHOLOGY AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE was initiated by the Founder of Facebook Literature Forum, ‘How to Write For Success,’ Mrs. Brenda Mohammed from Trinidad. 
Poems from eighty-seven of the most prolific writers were selected from the submissions. Brenda undertook the role of Chief Editor/Publisher, and Florabelle Lutchman of Trinidad, an Administrator in the How to Write for Success Forum, agreed to assist her. Mary L Schmidt of Colorado, USA, a member, designed the book cover.
It did not stop there. 

Both Brenda and Florabelle who are members of the Presbyterian Church in Trinidad approached the Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Trinidad, Right Reverend Joy Abdul-Mohan to write a Feature Article for the book. She readily agreed.
The book was published on 5th March and on 12th March it topped the charts on Amazon in Poetries and Anthologies to become Amazon Bestseller No 1.
We congratulate the 87 bestselling coauthors.

The book is available on AMAZON in KINDLE AND PAPERBACK
