I submitted my written pitch for a screenplay for Zeeka Chronicles: Revenge of Zeeka, a five-series sci-fi thriller to an agent.
TITLE: ZEEKA CHRONICLES: REVENGE OF ZEEKA
CREATED BY: Brenda Mohammed
FORMAT: One Hour [serialized] TV Sci-Fi Thriller, Dark Fantasy
LOGLINE: When 51 programmable zombies unleash chaos and death on spectators at a Carnival event on the tourist haven of Gosh Island, local police, detectives, and a doctor kidnapped by Zeeka as a child, must hunt down Master Zeeka before he kills again.
COMPARISON: Twilight Zone, Frankenstein, Shakespeare’s Plays.
WHY THIS STORY: The fictional futuristic sci-fi thriller is set in 2036 on an imaginary island, off the coast of South America, well-known for fabulous beaches, resorts, and annual Carnival celebrations. The story is purely the author’s imagination, inspired by the zika virus in 2016. Zombies and robots take centre stage and good triumphs over evil.
SERIES REGULARS:
Chief of Police Bill Grady [Master Zeeka]– Antagonist
Bill Grady is the Chief of Police on the island of Gosh. Grady kidnapped Dr. Steven Sharpe when he was seven, changed his name, threatened to kill his family if he tried to escape, sent him to medical school, and used him to create a vaccine for pregnant women infected with the zika virus. Grady used the vaccine to create zombies in a revenge plot against the hospital because his wife was infected with the virus, died in childbirth, and his son was born with a brain deformity.
Dr. Jason Stephens a.k.a Dr. Steven Sharpe – Protagonist
Dr. Jason Stephens is Dr. Steven Sharpe and the brother of Dr. Raynor Sharpe. He is a scientist who created a vaccine to prevent microcephaly from affecting the unborn babies in pregnant women infected with the zika virus, but was used for evil purposes by Grady who kidnapped him when he was seven years old, changed his name, and put him through medical school. Police suspect Jason of being Master Zeeka, and he seeks to prove his innocence and true identity.
Dr. Raynor Sharpe – Lead Character
Raynor Sharpe is a gynaecologist at Gosh Hospital. He saw an army of zombies marching outside his beach-front home but no one took him seriously until the massacre at the carnival event. Raynor is the brother of Dr. Steven Sharpe but neither one knows it yet.
THE SERIES
Zeeka and the Zombies is series one in the five-series sci-fi thriller. Dr. Raynor Sharpe sees zombies marching outside his beachfront home and they suddenly disappear. A zombie named Number Nine goes to Gosh Hospital to warn Dr. Brown about an impending massacre by his Master Zeeka. In February 2036, 51 programmable killer zombies disguised as a sailor band, unleash weapons at a Carnival event. One hundred and twenty-five people die, seventy-five are maimed for life, and all zombies disintegrate into ash. Police are not clear if Number Nine died in the shoot-out. A manhunt begins for Master Zeeka. Intertwined in this episode is a love story between Dr. Raynor Sharpe and Dr. Janet Jones who marry.
Zeeka's Child is the second series in the five-series sci-fi thriller. While police are searching for Dr. Jason Stephens, Detective Jack Wildy discovers a flash drive revealing the face of the real perpetrator, Chief of Police Bill Grady. Dr. Jason Stephens gives another flash drive to Janet to deliver to Dr, Raynor Sharpe, confirming Wildy’s discovery, and about the child Master Zeeka [ Grady] kidnapped forty years ago. Raynor and Steven reunite as brothers. Police find evidence of nine flesh-eating zombies in Grady’s basement and start a manhunt for him and the nine zombies.

Janet’s helper, Miranda, a beautiful robot, uses her taekwondo skills to capture Zeeka when she sees him holding a gun. The police shrink zombies and demolish them with high-tech weapons found in Grady’s bag. They slap Grady with more than 200 charges to which he confesses. He asks to see Steven and tells him why he committed the crimes. He begs Steven for forgiveness for kidnapping him as a child, and Steven refuses. When Steven leaves, Grady commits suicide.
Zeeka's Ghost is the fourth series in the five-series sci-fi thriller. A strong wind throws down Zeeka’s urn. it falls and breaks into pieces, his ashes scatter in Steven’s study, and Zeeka’s ghost appears to Steven. The ghost begs Steven for forgiveness and he again refuses. However, the ghost saves Mandy, Steven’s wife, from dangerous kidnappers and Steven forgives him. Zeeka leaves the world in peace.
Resurrection is the fifth series in the five-series sci-fi thriller. Number Nine, the zombie, who police thought was dead in the massacre at the Carnival event in February 2036 is alive. Mandy's robot helper, Eve, encounters him in the backyard, records the conversation on her security device, and plays it for Steven. Number Nine collapses in the backyard with an epileptic fit, and Eve alerts the Gosh hospital. Tests and records confirm he is Number Nine, he is not a zombie and is the biological son of Bill Grady – Master Zeeka, who made him grow up with zombies because he was misdiagnosed with microcephaly- a disease associated with the zika virus that infected his mother who died in childbirth 22 years ago. Raynor helps Number Nine choose Nieman Grady as his legal name, and Steven cures him of his brain ailment, Craniosynostosis, with his new invention CrainX. Steven is the new hero in Gosh because his miracle cures and inventions replace Carnival Tourism with Medical Tourism.
ZEEKA AND THE ZOMBIES: Dr. Raynor Sharpe has a vision of zombies and finds out that a zombie named Number Nine has visited the Gosh Hospital to warn the Chief Medical Officer, Dr. George Brown, that fifty others were planning to attack the hospital in a revenge plot by their Master Zeeka.

ZEEKA RETURNS: Action, adventure, high-tech weapons, zombies, and robots in Zeeka Returns, the third book in the five-book science fiction series Revenge of Zeeka: will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Sixty programmable zombies with one sinister goal in mind, 'to seek and destroy' deepen the suspense and drama of the story.
REVENGE OF ZEEKA: HORROR TRILOGY: The island of Gosh is under attack by an army of zombies under the command of a vengeful science genius. In the year 2016, the Zika virus broke out in Central and South America with life-threatening effects on pregnant women. Given a choice to save the mothers or the unborn babies, a decision was made to save the mothers. The tiny stillborns were securely and secretly buried. Only a few people knew of this. Unknown to everyone, however, a certain scientist managed to get hold of all 51 bodies, bring them back to life, and condition them to follow his command, creating a perfect army of zombies. Now, twenty years later, the evil scientist seeks revenge on those he holds responsible for the stillbirths.
ZEEKA'S GHOST: What happens when a strong wind throws down Zeeka’s urn and it falls and breaks, his ashes scatter in Steven’s study, and Zeeka’s ghost appears to Dr. Steven Sharpe whom Zeeka had kidnapped as a child?
RESURRECTION: Someone resurrected and it is not Zeeka. Number Nine, the zombie, who police thought was dead in the massacre at the Carnival event in February 2036 is alive. Mandy's robot helper, Eve, encounters a stranger in the backyard. When Eve tells him she is a robot, he tells her his story.

“Brenda Mohammed is a refreshing author who brings out the
best in her characters. Barry Holmes Mysteries includes three
short stories introducing Barry and his deductive reasoning
skills.
I found the stories simple, but the plots unusual.
From the beginning, the author seizes the reader's interest
and draws
you 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."
When I was a child, my father would rock me on his knees,
Give me advice and tell me how much he cared and loved me.
I was a few months old but I retained his advice in my memory.
Although he passed away I still love my father dearly.
*
His talks with me were meaningful and educational.
He was an outstanding and devoted school principal.
I know he was God-fearing as he prayed with us each night.
He was always teaching his children to do what was right.
*
No wonder the Trinidad and Tobago Government saw it fit,
To send him to the United Kingdom on a Government
scholarship,
To pursue studies in the London University Institute of
Education.
He graduated with a 580-page thesis and was given a big
promotion.
*
As District Inspector of Schools, his performance was
outstanding.
Nothing for him in those primitive days was too demanding.
He attained a Doctorate in Education from Florida State
University.
Dr. Andrew M. Khan was one of the pioneers of Education in
his country.
*
He led by example and made outstanding contributions to the
church also.
He became the first Presiding Elder in the Presbyterian
Church in Trinidad
and Tobago.
Dr. Khan served in all courts of the church until his passing in
1975
prematurely.
The Presbyterian Teachers’ Association honoured him with
gold medals
posthumously.
*
His children excelled in their various careers and served the
nation.
One was a Judge, and another was Assistant Comptroller –
Customs and
Excise Division.
One owned a business, one was an Accountant, one a Public
Relations
Officer, and one a Spanish Professor.
One was a School Principal, another a Teacher, and one was
an Executive
Foreign Service Officer.
*
I was the eighth child in that family and became a Bank
Manager.
After my father’s death, I compiled and published his memoirs.
In the Foreword written by former Trinidad and Tobago Chief
Justice, Sir
Isaac Hyatali,
He remarked, “Dr. Khan was one of the greatest intellectuals in
this
society.”

The famous English poet John Keats said, “An object of
beauty gives us perennial joy. Beauty never fades and is not devalued. A thing of beauty is a joy forever and it
makes us forget the sorrows and sufferings of the world.”
Keats also conceptualized beauty as truth and truth as
beauty. He said, “Beauty is truth, truth beauty, that is all ye know on earth,
and all ye need to know. Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are
sweeter.”
Another famous English poet, William Wordsworth said,
“Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks. Poetry is the
spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion
recollected in tranquillity.”
All the above describes the beautiful poetry in the book,
and what makes it special.
It will be a beautiful asset to your library.
