THE REVIEW ROUNDUP FOR ZEEKA AND THE ZOMBIES II WILL SHOCK YOU

 

ZEEKA AND THE ZOMBIES II, a gripping sci-fi horror novel, was adapted into a four-series screenplay and was selected as a finalist in the 13Horror-com Film & Screenplay Contest 2025.
The futuristic sci-fi horror thriller written by Trinidadian Brenda Mohammed, who has published 68 books to date, was selected among the top 25% of entries.
The feature-length screenplay based on this novel was praised by judges for its genre-defying fusion of futuristic sci-fi, Caribbean folklore, and dark fantasy, set in a vividly imagined 2036 Caribbean Island.
Andrew Hannon, the Contest Director and one of the Hollywood judges, commended the screenplay for its complex narrative, emotional depth, and cinematic horror, highlighting standout moments such as the Carnival massacre, the twist involving Chief of Police Bill Grady, and the poignant revelation of Zeeka's hidden humanity.
A psychotic cop, who has adopted the alias MASTER ZEEKA, unleashes a horde of zombies upon a Caribbean paradise amidst its carnival festivities. It’s up to two long-separated brothers, with a surprising connection to the cop, to save the day.
The sci-fi horror novel is loaded with several twisty thrills and intriguing revelations. The brothers Dr. Raynor Sharpe and Dr. Steven Sharpe, a malicious zombie horde, two detectives, and Master Zeeka, who created the zombies, are the main characters of the novel.
Number Nine, the zombie who discovered he was not a zombie, but just struggling with a strange illness, is cured by Dr. Steven Sharpe with a Miracle Machine he invented.
Readers of Caribbean sci-fi horror and zombie fiction will love this story, where good triumphs over evil.

MIRACLE IN THE SEA

 

The Temple in the Sea, located in Waterloo, Trinidad and Tobago, is one of the most representative symbols of the spiritual perseverance, religious freedom, and cultural identity of Trinidad and Tobago.

Built with the vision and determination of Siewdass Sadhu, this sanctuary represents an extraordinary example of faith, dedication, and community service. His story is internationally recognized as a testament to commitment to spiritual and cultural values that enrich human heritage.

As a symbol of coexistence, respect, and cultural diversity, the Temple in the Sea constitutes an invaluable legacy for present and future generations.

  

 INTERNATIONAL TRIBUTE TO THE TEMPLE IN THE SEA

Tribute is paid to Sewdass Sadhu, an indentured labourer and visionary.

He migrated to Trinidad from India and built a temple by the sea.

The land belonged to a well-established foreign sugar company.

They demanded that he remove it from their site or face a penalty.

*

Sadhu refused, was fined, and sent to prison for 14 days.

The temple was destroyed, but Sadhu remained unfazed.

He was determined to rebuild the temple upon his release.

He could not build it on land, and he decided to build it in the sea.

*

In 1947, Sadhu rode his bicycle to transport stones, cement, and sand.

To extend the border, he took the materials to the coast of the island.

He created a rocky pathway, and brick by brick, he built the temple in the Gulf.

In 1952, the pathway into the Gulf of Paria and the temple were completed.

*

The Temple in the Sea was named the ‘Sewdass Sadhu Shiva Mandir.’

It is a Hindu mandir in Waterloo, Carapichaima, Trinidad and Tobago.

In 1995, the temple was renovated by Randolph Rampersad.

CIESART TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO pays tribute to Sewdass Sadhu’s vision for this miracle.

SIX REASONS FOR ASPIRING AUTHORS TO BUY THE BOOK SERIES HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS

 

REASONS TO BUY ‘HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS’

1.    A reviewer at the Ethiopian Herald wrote that no instructor comes close to Brenda Mohammed in demonstrating the craft of writing in a vivid, lucid, and friendly manner, and called How to Write for Success a must-have book that authors should keep in their backpacks. He singled out specifically the way she practices what she teaches, using show-don't-tell, which he called a sharp contrast to most writing guides that preach one thing and model another. That is a credible outside voice making a precise, professional observation about her craft.

*

 2. Readers' Favorite independently awarded the book a five-star seal, adding institutional credibility to back that judgment.

*

3. In August 2019, Volume I topped all the books in the Non-Fiction category of Connections Emagazine Readers' Choice awards and won the gold medal in the category of non-fiction. It also placed second in all categories and won the silver medal. The irony of this was that Brenda's romance novel, 'Stories People Love,' placed first in all categories and won the gold medal.

*

4. Brenda’s broader track record reinforces both. She has published 68 books and 68 audiobooks across multiple genres, founded a Facebook writing forum that actively mentors writers, serves as National Delegate and President of CIESART TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO, and has been featured in USA News and Biz Weekly. A writing guide authored by someone with this breadth of real-world publishing experience is a different category of book from most guides in this space.

*

5. Brenda is already serving the writing community through her Facebook Forum, HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS, and her advocacy work with CIESART, headquartered in Spain.

*

6. Brenda Mohammed built a publishing career spanning 68 books, 68 audiobooks, three screenplays, two of which are finalists in screenwriting competitions, and an international mentoring community after serving in banking and financial services for many years. Her work spans the five continents, and she demonstrates every principle she teaches using her own writing as the example

RETIREMENT IS A NEW DAWN OF FREEDOM AND JOY

 

WHEN ONE DOOR CLOSES, MANY OTHERS OPEN.

In her memoir RETIREMENT IS FUN, which is a sequel to My Life as a Banker - A Life Worth Living, Brenda shows that retirement is not about slowing down, but about living fully, chasing dreams, and savouring the freedom to create the life you’ve always imagined.

Reluctant to move on from banking, she amazes herself when she turned down an offer to work in a higher position at another bank.

She chose Insurance instead, and for her, it turned out to be the better choice. Why?

1.    She excelled and qualified for the Premium Association for Financial Professionals [MDRT] six times in a row, and her travels around the world skyrocketed.

2.    Cancer struck, and she almost died. The Insurance company paid all her medical bills for treatment in Miami.

For Brenda, retirement is when you stop working to live, and start working at living.

After her bout with cancer, Brenda did not give up on life.

She found her third calling and has published 68 books to date.

Read about her incredible journey.

Whether you’re approaching retirement or already enjoying it, RETIREMENT IS FUN will inspire you to see this stage of life as a time of renewal, growth, and endless possibility.

MY LIFE AS A BANKER: A LIFE WORTH LIVING

 

I am sharing a review for my memoir, MY LIFE AS A BANKER: A LIFE WORTH LIVING.

 "MY LIFE AS A BANKER: A LIFE WORTH LIVING.
This particular title caught my attention because it appears to offer more than just a personal memoir. It contains real-life experiences, career insights, lessons learned, and perspectives gained throughout your banking journey. Some elements can often resonate with professionals, aspiring bankers, business students, leadership development groups, and career-focused learning environments.
While reviewing the book, I began considering whether some of its themes and experiences could potentially align with professional development, financial education, mentoring initiatives, or organizational learning discussions beyond traditional retail readership.
* Banking and Finance Education Programs
Your book contains first-hand industry experience that could be valuable to students pursuing careers in banking, finance, and business. Educational institutions often seek resources that provide real-world perspectives alongside academic learning.
* Career Mentoring and Professional Development Initiatives
Many early-career professionals look for practical guidance from individuals who have successfully navigated their industries. Your experiences could be particularly relevant within mentoring and career development environments.
* Financial Literacy and Community Education Programs
Organizations focused on financial awareness and economic empowerment often seek relatable resources that bridge theory and real-life experience.
* Banking and Professional Associations
Associations serving banking and finance professionals frequently provide learning resources, recommended reading lists, and professional development opportunities for their members.
* Leadership and Workplace Development Discussions
Beyond banking, your journey may offer lessons on resilience, professionalism, personal growth, and career advancement that could resonate with broader professional audiences.
Best regards,
Claire Anderson "EDITORIAL
