FIVE STARS FOR STORIES THAT INTRIGUE FROM READERS FAVORITE


Reviewed by Lesley Jones for Readers' Favorite. In Stories That Intrigue by Brenda Mohammed, Julia, a best-selling novelist, and her younger sister Stephanie have just landed at Heathrow Airport from Trinidad. They plan to meet Sam Jurai whom Julia met through social media and who will be working with Julia on her 24th novel before traveling to France where Stephanie is about to start her fashion degree at the university. Throughout these fast-paced six short stories, Julia and Stephanie travel from London to France, Switzerland, and New York where they discover the streets are filled with exciting and wonderful places as well as situations that threaten their safety. Sam proves to be a valuable travel partner but he holds a secret love for Julia. Will he find the courage to tell her how he feels and how will she respond? Each of the short stories is compelling and includes the perfect amount of tension and suspense. Brenda has cleverly written each tale to flow effortlessly into the next. The relationship between Julia and Stephanie is wonderful; their dialogue and actions perfectly prove the support and care they have for one another. Both Julia and Stephanie have the ideal blend of femininity and strong independence which I love to see in female characters. Stories That Intrigue by Brenda Mohammed is the perfect book for anyone who loves to travel as the cities throughout are described in superb detail. You really get a sense of the culture and atmosphere in each of the places they visit. I also loved the fact that the characters were from different cultures. The author has a wonderful talent for creating characters and dialogue that completely engage the reader. The stories are filled with love, exciting action, human vulnerability, and tense dangerous situations. GET THE BOOK ON AMAZON

YOUR TIME IS NOW WRITTEN BY BRENDA MOHAMMED

 


These verses in Ecclesiastes Chapter 3: Verses 1 to 8, have always inspired me. The author wrote the book YOUR TIME IS NOW based on these verses.
The Byrds have made a beautiful song using these words.
It is one of my favourite songs.
“There is a time for everything, a season for every activity under heaven.
A time to be born and a time to die.
A time to plant and a time to harvest.
A time to kill and a time to heal.
A time to tear down and a time to rebuild.
A time to cry and a time to laugh.
A time to grieve and a time to dance.
A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones.
A time to embrace and a time to turn away.
A time to search and a time to lose.
A time to keep and a time to throw away.
A time to tear and a time to mend.
A time to be quiet and a time to speak up.
A time to love and a time to hate.
A time for war and a time for peace.”

CHOSEN BY THE CREATOR WRITTEN BY BRENDA MOHAMMED

 


"Reviewed By Lois Henderson for Readers' Favorite
FIVE STARS.
Chosen by the Creator: Bible Stories by Brenda Mohammed is aimed at helping the reader trace the line of descendants as far back as to the beginning of mankind, with the story of Adam and Eve. Mohammed, who is a firm believer in the fact that "the Bible is God's biography written by his chosen ones," explains, with the help of quotations from the Bible, how the contents of each of its books relate to the whole.
Mohammed ends Chosen by the Creator: Bible Stories with additional material that provides true value for the reader, including the importance of having our names written down in the Book of Life; the text of her favorite two Psalms, 23 and 121 (which is my favorite, too) and a conclusion, confirming her desire (which she has successfully fulfilled) to write a story of God's chosen ones from each book in both the Old and the New Testament.
I love the way Brenda Mohammed, in her work Chosen by the Creator: Bible Stories, affirms her desire that the stories she retells in accessible and straightforward language will convince the reader of the genuineness and authenticity of their source in divine will. 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."

TRAVEL MEMOIRS - TRIP TO ROME

 



                           TRIP TO ROME
 

Rome is a city with a great deal of history.

Despite its beauty, it’s full of mystery.

The colosseum, a tourist site had its gory days.

Vatican City is a unique mini-state.

 

 

In 2009 Rome was part of our travels.

Toured the Vatican Museum and sat in the Sistine Chapel.

Walked through the Gallery of Tapestries.

Feasted our eyes on Michelangelo’s masterpieces.

 

The Belvedere Courtyard and other fabulous rooms

Were filled with paintings and art. I almost swooned

When we visited St. Peter’s Basilica we saw the catacombs.

Stood in awe when we saw St. Peter’s tomb.

 

Another interesting place was the Trevi Fountain.

The Spanish Steps and our trip to another fountain.

Occupied our days until it was time to move on.

Leaving behind the city of legendary palaces and museums.

DRESSED LIKE A ZEBRA - NATIONAL HISTORY MUSEUM - LOS ANGELES

 



                  DRESSED LIKE A ZEBRA


This Facebook memory appeared on my page today.
It brought flashes of memories of a wedding rehearsal that day,
At the fabulous National History Museum in Los Angeles.
It was the venue for the wedding reception of my niece.
*
Stunning and beautiful stuffed animals filled the hall.
Huge dinosaurs, zebras, lions, leopards, and all.
Close to the African Mammals Hall was the Rotunda.
A remarkable place to hold a wedding for animal lovers.
*
When I was dressing to go to the rehearsal that morning.
I gave absolutely no thought to what I was wearing.
I was stunned to see that I was dressed like a zebra.
My husband insisted that I take this picture.
*
The wedding the next day was a fabulous event.
All the guests seemed happy and very content.
The bride lit up the museum with her beauty and charm.
The handsome groom, a Harvard Ph.D. graduate, seemed very calm.

Travelling is Fun - Hollywood Boulevard

 


My sister and I checking out the stars on Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles, California.

TRAVELLING IS FUN

In spite of all the many recent changes in procedures for travel, because of terrorist actions, covid 19, and the need for tighter security in airports and planes, I still believe that travelling is fun.
Before 9/11, travel was a breeze.
I live in Trinidad and Tobago, and we needed visas to travel to many countries, but it was never a problem to get them as long as we satisfied the requirements. Some countries have since eased up on visa requirements.
My first trip abroad was a fabulous one. I worked at a bank and got three months' vacation after seven years. One of my co-workers also had three months' vacation and she agreed to travel with me. She had relatives in Canada and New York, and I had relatives in London and Germany.  We, therefore, travelled to New York, Canada, London, and Germany and had lots of fun. We got our visas with no problems.
Details of these trips are recorded in two of my books - My Life as a Banker, and Travel Memoirs: Exploring the world.
Both books are available on Amazon.

Since that trip, I have visited many more exotic places in the world.
Commencing next week, I will be writing a series about my world travels. Until then, have a great week.

VENICE IN ITALY WAS THE SETTING FOR SHAKESPEARE'S ROMEO AND JULIET

 



VENICE  IN  ITALY  WAS THE SETTING FOR SHAKESPEARE'S ROMEO AND JULIET


TREASURED MEMORIES by award-winning, multi-genre author Brenda Mohammed, is an exceptional book of poetry travel adventures, and memorable events, that will inspire and motivate every reader to achieve more in their lives.
The author writes about her travels, marriage, the birth of her children, and the many successes in the lives of her family.
The poems are all positive and motivational.
As stated by Alem Hailu of the Ethiopian Herald in a recent interview with the author, “To uplift the mood of the bedridden, whose life despair has eclipsed, and to enthuse emerging authors they could climb to an ivory tower, even dragging their last leg from a morass with perseverance, there could be no better example than the footpath of internationally-published-renowned-author-poet Brenda Mohammed.”
The background of the cover for TREASURED MEMORIES is the beautiful city of Venice in Italy, which the author visited a few years ago., and is the setting for Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet play. The cover has snippets of Rome and the Leaning Tower of Pisa that she visited too. Here is a poem on Venice which is one of the poems in the book. VENICE From Florence, we took the Eurostar to Venice in the Adriatic Sea. With no roads, travelled in a waterbus from the train station to hotel and did see. Lining the banks of the Grand Canal were gothic palaces, gardens, and bridges. After disembarking the water bus, walked to our hotel with our suitcases. The sublime capital of revelry, intrigue, and romance, had a magical atmosphere. Known as the 'City of Canals,’ it’s famous for gondola rides and carnival affairs. Helpful hotel staff booked us on a water taxi, To take us on a grand tour of the Murano Glass Factory. We saw how jewelry, chandeliers, and glass products were made. The meals in Venice are delicious and all fish-based. The ‘City of Love, was the setting for Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet play. I hope to return to Venice again some day.

FIVE STARS FOR HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS: VOLUME TWO

 



FIVE STARS FOR HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS: VOLUME TWO

Book Review by Aneeta Chitale aka Shanita Vichare) from India

Multiple - award-winning Author Brenda Mohammed has published 42 books.

Her 42nd book was Tea Time Poetry.

Her hot pick from Amazon basket is her widely read books HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS: Volumes 1 & 2.

Most meticulous in her authorpreneurship, prolific in her writing craft, and expertise in using the writing analog extensively, using the most recent tenets, is her cup of tea!

I must agree. Brenda Mohammed has written this outstanding book- How To Write For Success: Volume 2, in the most lucid style. It is a very apt book for self-publishing/ indie authors and poets.

She has given detailed information from writing your manuscript, editing, how to fetch ISBN code, and how to format and publish it on Amazon.

KDP option to scale is very well explained, but you must read the book to find out more.

Let me give you some background on Brenda Mohammed.

Stories That Intrigue, Stories People Love, Barry Holmes Mysteries, How To Write For Success Volumes 1 & 2, Zeeka Chronicles, and I am Cancer Free, are page-turners in the collectibles written by her.

How to Write for Success made waves globally as it went on to feature in the Readers’ Choice Awards.

In November 2018 Brenda won two awards from Readers Favorite International for her science fiction book, ‘Zeeka Chronicles’ in the category Young Adult Thriller, and her Memoir, ‘I am Cancer Free’ in the category Health and Fitness.

Three of her books won gold awards in Connection EMagazine Readers’ Choice Awards in 2018 and 2019 - Zeeka Chronicles, Stories People love, and How to Write for Success.

In Sept 2021 her mystery book, Barry Holmes Mysteries, won her the Writer – Best Fantasy Award in the CLR Awards.

In Brenda's Mohammed’s group project - Break The Silence: Volumes 1-2 Poetry Anthologies, she raises voices against domestic violence, for women who have a caged bird existence.  She has co-authored both books with 178 International poets and both books achieved Amazon No 1 Bestsellers Ranking.

Another group project for Suicide Prevention, A Spark of Hope: Volumes One and Two, also achieved Amazon No 1 Best Sellers ranking.

In her book on her fight Against Cancer – I AM CANCER FREE, her success story and fecund penmanship is strongly wired with her strong grit and survival instinct, when the verdant writer Brenda Mohammed fought her battle against cancer. She has never looked back since then, and the axiom 'Pen Is Mightier Than the Sword' is absolutely true for this Evergreen Writer.

Ten of her publications are Poetry books

With her outstanding contributions to Literature, she is well-placed to advise on How to Write for Success. I give the book HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS: VOLUME TWO Five-stars.

NEW RELEASE - TEA TIME POETRY by AUTHOR BRENDA MOHAMMED

TEA TIME POETRY is a wide collection of poems written by Author Brenda Mohammed.

She has expressed her thoughts on almost every subject in her poems, such as doubts, money, friends, truth, rumors, passion, celebrations, literary celebrities, and much more.
Award-winning Author Brenda Mohammed has published 42 books to date and Tea Time Poetry is her tenth poetry collection.

Here is a poem from this book:

STRATFORD UPON AVON
We took a scenic ferry trip to Stratford upon the river Avon.
The market town was where the famous writer was born.
William Shakespeare, a renowned English playwright, and actor.
His father John, a glove maker, was also an important figure.
.*
During the English Renaissance, he was a prolific poet and writer.
To date, scholars still study his works for Literature.
King Lear, The Winter’s Tale, The Tempest, and Macbeth.
Who could ever forget the tale of Romeo and Juliet?
*
As You Like It, a musical comedy set in the forest of Arden,
A play adapted for musical theatre, radio, and film.
With songs that never grow old and make you sing,
"Under the Greenwood tree": "Blow, blow, thou winter wind."
*
Shakespeare entered this world in 1564 and exited it in 1616.
His thirty-eight plays are his rich and diverse legacy,
His work has an enduring presence on stage and film.
When we think of outstanding literary icons, we remember him.
