Synopsis for My Life as a Banker: A Life worth Living


SYNOPSIS FOR MY LIFE AS A BANKER


In 'My Life as a Banker' the author Brenda Mohammed combines both History and Geography with her positive outlook to bring her story to life.
The Memoir is the story of a woman's determination to succeed in a profession that did not always favor women.
Set in the lovely Caribbean island of Trinidad. MY LIFE AS A BANKER: A LIFE WORTH LIVING is a fascinating personal memoir.
The book starts with the author’s early life and childhood, leading up to her first job with a Trinidad bank with ties to the United Kingdom.
Her close knit family, her parents, and siblings took care of each other in a special way
Having defied death twice at the ages of eight and nine, she excels and graduates from High School at the tender age of sixteen, and lands a job with Barclays Bank D.C.O. which later became localized.
The book details how the author started at a clerical level and rose to a senior position, solely on the basis of her dedication, hard work and intelligence.
Brenda Mohammad describes how the bank transformed from manual work to mechanization, and then to computerization.
She describes changes in the banking system and changes in the bank's attitude towards its employees throughout her working years, and the important roles she played to bring about changes.
Dealing with customers and their money issues can be stressful, but Brenda proved that hard work and determination pay.
Brenda gradually moved up the ranks, and received several promotions, leading up to senior managerial status.
The Bank assigned her to different branches throughout the island, and she developed a cordial working relationship with her colleagues and staff.
Her farewell party from the staff and fellow workers describes how popular she was during her stay with them
Life is not always perfect and there were sad moments like the death of her parents, brothers, and sisters, that will tug at your heart.
There were also many joyful moments, like her marriage to another banker, and the birth of her two children.
It was a tradition for the groom to write a letter to the bride's father to seek permission to marry his daughter. This is what happened when her husband proposed to her. The description of her marriage is beautiful and emotional.
Brenda travelled extensively to the United States and Europe. Her visits to Germany and Holland are described in a picturesque way.
The scene where Brenda’s father talked to all of his children separately before his death was very touching.
Brenda's belief in God is remarkable.

Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?


When I wrote the book How to Write for Success: Best Writing Advice I Received, I did not realise that it would become a popular guide for new and aspiring authors.
I was thrilled when it received a five-star review and five-star seal from Readers Favorite International one month after publication in December 2017
In August 2019 it won the gold award in the category Non-Fiction in Connections EMagazine Readers’ Choice Awards 2019.
The book was my inspiration for founding the Facebook group, HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS, with 5300 plus members.
It is very popular amongst university students and new and aspiring authors who have written fantastic reviews about it.

Here is the latest review from a University student in London.
"HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS by Honourable Poet Ms. Brenda Mohammed


Learning from others depends on people’s capacity to combine their personal and other’s experiences.
In order to try and do that with success, individuals ought to abstract from single experiences (that they themselves or others have had) and acknowledge those options that completely different things have in common.

An established educational technique to foster these abstraction and integration processes is to use patterns.
These patterns assist the internalization of others' experiences and the application to new situations.
HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS by the Honourable Author Ms. Brenda Mohammed is a set of such unique patterns that highlight invariant components and structural features of situations and problems encountered while writing a book.

This book is an ultimate guide for how to build characters, writing narratives and dialogues, building the story world, choosing a book cover and the title, creating different categories, things one should know before and after publishing their books, tips on how to sell yourself as an author—“the book marketing” and lastly how to get sales and reviews.

Author Brenda Mohammed is an enthusiastic and solid writer.
She is sincere, resourceful and diligent in her work. Her writing reflects the amount of research on several events that have gone into it along with her knowledge and expertise in the field.
I would, therefore, like to take this opportunity to congratulate her on this phenomenal work and wish her all the best for her future endeavors.

Thanks & Regards,
Sania Zakir"

FREE TIME WITH YOU - RETIREMENT IS FUN.


FREE TIME WITH YOU

All I need is some free time with you,
Watching nature’s sceneries and the rainbow’s hues.
Touring new places, I have never seen before,
Go island hopping or a continental tour.

So many things to do and places to see.
I wonder when will this ever be.
With free time with you, we can explore.
I’m waiting for you to knock on my door.

Free time to have coffee or a yogurt drink,
In a nearby café or just sitting on the brink.
A sumptuous dinner for two, just me and you,
Laughing, talking, reminiscing, and not feeling blue.

Because of my love for writing true,
I’ll take along a pen and notebook too.
Just you and me, we’ll create beautiful Poetry.
We’ll write a new story for history.

BOOKS IN THE NEWS - ZEEKA AND THE ZOMBIES

ZEEKA AND THE ZOMBIES is soon to be made into a local play.
Zeeka and the Zombies is the first book in the mind-blowing Revenge of Zeeka five-book Science Fiction series.
It is the year 2036 and it is a high-tech world.
Dr. Raynor Sharpe has a vision of zombie-like men with small heads walking on the beach.
Was he dreaming or was it a reality?
He receives a call from Dr. George Brown.
Upon his arrival he is surprised to hear Dr. Brown say that a zombie visited him, he sedated him and placed him in Room Nine.
He had no name and he called him Number Nine.
The zombie told Dr. Brown that his Master was Zeeka and there were fifty others like him planning an attack on the hospital.
The mystery deepens when Number Nine disappears from the hospital.
Was he really a zombie and was he speaking the truth?
Read a review from an ardent fan: "This was such a fun read. The reading world is crammed with zombie stories, but I'll bet you haven't read one like this. It had the feel of an old black and white sci-fi movie, which I love, blended with modern themes and a more modern medical aspect. Considering the length, I was surprised by how much was packed in it as things zipped along. I really loved Janet and Raynor and found their relationship a nice addition. I'm so curious to learn more about the 'zombies' and Zeeka in the next parts"
