REVIEWS


Review by Readers Favorite:

Retirement is Fun: A New Chapter by Brenda Mohammed is an interesting memoir where the author shares with readers her moments after retirement and how it is a time when everyone should sit back and enjoy life. After reading this book, no one will dread retirement. They will all look forward to it and use that time to enjoy the beauty of life, spend more time with the family, and experience their unconditional love. Retiring from the job does not mean one retires from life because one gets time to appreciate the beauty of unlimited time and use it effectively by doing things they missed out on doing while they were working
.
The book is uplifting as it makes everyone who is going to retire look forward to it. The author's experiences and adventures after retirement give readers ideas on how to handle their lives in a good and happy way after retiring from their jobs. Brenda Mohammed shows by example how one's attitude can make a difference to everything and life can be enjoyed at any age, irrespective of whether you are young or not.
The memoir is simple and chronicles the author's life and events, taking readers into her space. The memoir is a good read; readers can connect well with what the author says and the events and experiences in her life and the way she handles life is tangible. The words of wisdom from Dr Murdoch quoted at the end of the book are very inspirational and will help readers look at life in a positive way. An interesting book for all those who are going to retire from their jobs and want to know how to handle life after that.

Comment by a British Writer Margaret Lossl shared on LinkedIn

"We all face challenges. I have found that 'what doesn't kill you will make you stronger' to be true. I have recently met an inspirational writer Brenda Mohammed and in her book 'Retirement is Fun: A New Chapter' (Amazon) she reveals her triumph over hazardous challenges. Her positive outlook and faith carry her through the difficult phase between her high-profile job in a bank and retirement, but it is in these halcyon days of retirement, that life really throws her a curved ball. No matter what you are going through, make it count and enable growth. You are not alone.
Retirement is Fun: A new Chapter was a nominee in the Metamorph's Publishing Summer Indie Book Awards 2016.

Amazing Review of Your Time is Now : A Time to be born and a Time to die.

Author J.B.Richards famous author of Miriamme the Magdala recently reviewed YOUR TIME IS NOW : A TIME TO BE BORN AND A TIME TO DIE.

Here is what she had to say:

A Time to Read: A Beautiful and Soulful Tale about Trust and Belief in the Lord!
By Author JB Richards on November 16, 2016
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Five- Stars
Having herself experienced a lifetime of tragedy and joy, Author Brenda Mohammed assumes the mantle of theologian/philosopher in her quest to understand and explain the elegance and meaning found in the biblical verses extolled in Ecclesiastes 3.
In "Your TIME is NOW: A Time to be Born and a Time to Die", Mohammed fully examines each memorable and precious verse and applies them to her own life experiences.
In doing so, she takes the reader on a journey through a lifetime filled with trials and tribulations, despair and hope, loss and success.
The author eloquently defines Ecclesiastes 3, pointing out that, by freely accepting God's will, she has been amply blessed with a faithful family, loyal mentors, good friends, and a full life.
She successfully leaves her readers with a message of hope and inspiration by sharing her belief that, through introspection and prayer, one may find meaning within the events of their own everyday experiences.
She appears to be a firm proponent to the old adage, "When days seem at their darkest, surrendering and trusting in the divine will ensure peace and prosperity".
All in all, I found this book to be quite engaging.
The author's reflections on her childhood were beyond charming in some spots, yet brought me to tears in others.
Her candidness about her relationships with parents, siblings, husband, and her own children reminded me so much of my own family's saga, and I must admit that I was thrilled to find a read that tugged at my heartstrings the way this book did!
For any individual seeking solace and meaning in today's hectic world, "Your TIME is NOW: A Time to be Born and a Time to Die" is a beautiful and soulful read.
Thank you, Brenda Mohammed, for sharing your journey with me!

This is only one of the wonderful five-star reviews that the book has received to date, but this one demonstrates that the reader truly understands the concept of the book and why it was written.

The book is available at Amazon, Barnes and Nobles, Create Space, Nook, Kobo, Apple, Scibd, Page Foundry, 24 Symbols, and Tolino.

Why I write Fiction

In the year 2000, four years before he passed away, my elder brother had written me a letter. Part of the letter contained the following:

“Your book makes very pleasant reading, and your literary expression is superb and easy to follow. You have an excellent talent, and I think you should follow up on a leisurely basis with perhaps publishing a book of short stories. With fiction, you will have greater opportunity to use your imagination and your undoubted descriptive ability. You used the word “fantasize” to create a situation. This is an outstanding quality, which you should continue to use because it is imagination, which disposes of everything, coming from within. It creates beauty, justice, and happiness, which are everything in this world.”

He was referring to my manuscript,"My Life as a Banker: A Life worth Living," which he had read. I published the letters I received from my brother in one of my books, "Your Time is Now," under the section "A Brother's Wisdom."
Unconsciously, I took my brother's advice. After publishing seven memoirs, I wrote three books of fictional short stories in 2014.
- Heart-Warming Tales, Stories People Love, Adventures of Squeaky Doo, and the Revenge of Zeeka series comprising four books which I wrote in 2016.

Adventures of Squeaky Doo: A Teddy Bear's Adventures was not really fictional. However, the stories were related by a Teddy Bear. In the real world, a Teddy Bear cannot speak or write so it has been termed fiction.
My brother is since deceased and I am happy that I still have his letters. You can read them in "Your Time is Now: A Time to be born and a Time to Die
