REVIEW
A thrilling story showing the tight connection between Zeeka and his adopted son, Stephen
Format: Paperback
In this fourth story of the Zeeka series, Zeeka's ghost returns to warn Stephen about an impending threat to his life.
Not only does the ghost warn Stephen, but he actually helps Stephen defend himself from the bad guys who try to kill him
because they are unsatisfied with the money they received as compensation for the loss of their loved ones during Zeeka's rampage
in his lifetime.
The author puts a remarkable twist in the story when she turns Zeeka into the good guy who is now showing concern for the welfare of his illegally adopted child.
Zeeka is actually trying to atone for his sins and to get a peaceful burial after he committed suicide in prison.
At this point, Stephen and his wife, Mandy, are happily married and living on the lsland on Gosh appears normal.
Stephen is successful in his medical career and does some outstanding work on Alzhaimer's disease.
He discovers a cure and is honored with a prestigious prize. Mandy works as a nurse at the sane hospital as her husband and they have a comfortable life.
In the midst of his happiness, Stephen is tormented by the appearance of Zeeka's ghost.
However, the ghost turns out to be useful when Mandy
is captured by the evil guys and Stephen goes to rescue her by himself.
It is at this point that the bad guys are remarkably struck down by Zeeka, who is visible only to Stephen. Stephen is then able to take away his wife.
This clever turn of events in the plot keeps the reader engaged in this exciting story as he or she reads to find out what will happen next.
Once one starts to read the book, it is difficult to stop. It is interesting and suspenseful and holds the readers' interest.
It takes place in an idealistic, futuristic world where life turns out well for those who are honest and hard-working.
Problems are quickly resolved and good triumphs over evil in the end.
All in all, this story is a wonderful addition to the Zeeka trilogy by the same author.
The work is clearly constructed and the prose is easy to read, as characteristic of the author's style. Congratulations to the author for another well-done piece!

Women in Horror 2018 - Jeannie Wycherley features Revenge of Zeeka by Brenda Mohammed
REVENGE OF ZEEKA: HORROR TRILOGY
A strange – looking person turned up at the renowned Gosh Hospital in the scenic island of Gosh in the year 2036.
He asked to see Dr. George Brown, Medical Chief of staff.
He claimed to be a zombie who reported to Master Zeeka and revealed information about a plot to attack the hospital.
Dr. Brown, suspicious of his motives, sedated him, left him in Room Nine, and called a meeting of the hospital doctors to discuss the recorded conversation between the zombie and himself.
The zombie had no name and Dr. Brown referred to him as Number Nine because he had left him in Room 9.
Nine outsmarted Dr. Brown and disappeared, causing the doctors with the exception of two, Dr. Raynor Sharpe and Dr. Mark Schmidt, to disbelieve what Dr. Brown told them.
They even questioned whether Nine was really a zombie as he made no attempt to attack any humans in the hospital.
The three doctors vowed to uncover the truth.
A few weeks later at the national Carnival celebrations, a colourful sailor band with zombie-like persons launched a fatal attack on innocent spectators, confirming Number Nine’s revelations to Dr. Brown. It appeared that Number Nine died in that attack? Fingers were pointed at one man for the brutal attacks, but was he the real perpetrator? One man knew Zeeka’s secrets and he revealed them on a flash drive.
Did the authorities believe him or did they falsely accuse him?
Read the five-star review from Readers Favorite.
In Revenge of Zeeka: Horror Trilogy by Brenda Mohammed, 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 for 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 himself a perfect army of zombies.
Now, twenty years later, the evil scientist seeks revenge on those he holds responsible for the stillbirths. Only three of the current doctors at Central Hospital – Raynor, Mark, and George – witnessed the unfortunate events of 2016.
The three have strong suspicions about who might be controlling the zombies.
Meanwhile, Zeeka is lying in wait for the perfect time to unleash his army onto the island.
Zeeka has big, evil plans and this is just the beginning.
In a desperate search for answers, and with very little to go on, the doctors search for the elusive Master Zeeka.
Will they save the islanders from Zeeka and his zombies, or will it be too late?
Praise for the Trilogy
“Revenge of Zeeka, by Brenda Mohammed, is a one of a kind novella trilogy that delivers an incredible story guaranteed to give readers an absolute sci-fi treat.
I especially liked how Brenda used current events as the pivotal point from which to build this amazing sci-fi horror.
This made the story even more relatable.
More importantly, however, I admired how she owned her story and created this captivating version of events.
She captured with amazing depth the setting, characters, plot, and emotions in such few words.
If you are looking for a thrilling short read, this fast-paced, sci-fi action novella will give you the time of your life.”

Author Interview with Mady Joshi of AllAuthor
Brenda Mohammed, a former banker, is an award-winning, multi-genre writer and a cancer survivor.
In 2013, Brenda wrote her first book, “I am Cancer Free”, after her near death experience with cancer.
She wanted to tell the world that cancer is not a death sentence, but a battle that you have to fight and win.
I am Cancer Free was the winner in non-fiction in Mc Grath Summer Indie Book Awards 2016.
It also received a five-star rating and seal from Readers Favorite in 2017.
Read the Press Release from Readers Favorite.
Her travel opportunities, thanks to her banking job, has helped Brenda with the creative process of an author.
Her book "Travel Memoirs with Pictures: Exploring the world" is a travelogue compiling all her picturesque travels around the globe.
Brenda is blessed with a supportive family and acknowledging friends who have encouraged her throughout her life and her writing career.
Her daughter reads every book Brenda writes and gives her pointers.
Tell us a little about your hometown and your life there growing up. What did your parents do for a living?
I live in Vistabella with my husband.
It is a beautiful town in Trinidad.
Our house overlooks the ocean.
Trinidad is an island and surrounded by sea.
I did not grow up in Vistabella.
My father was a headmaster and worked all over the island at different times in his career.
As a small child, I lived in headmaster’s houses in Claxton Bay, Penal, and in Sangre Grande when he gained promotion as an Inspector of Schools. My mother was a handicraft teacher.
I wrote all about my childhood in my memoir, A Life as a Banker: A Life worth Living.
What made you decide to give up your job as a Bank Manager and pursue writing? What were your parents' reactions when they found out you wanted to write full time?
I did not give up my job as a Bank Manager. I reached the compulsory retirement age for female staff. At that time, females were allowed to retire at a much earlier age than males. I obtained a job in an Insurance Company as a Financial Advisor and continued working. I wrote my first book, “I am Cancer Free,” in 2013, after my near death experience with cancer.
I wanted to tell the world that cancer is not a death sentence. My writing career started then. My parents were not alive when I started writing.
When did you move to the Island of Trinidad and has it any way helped your creative process as an author?
I was born in Trinidad. I have had many travel opportunities with my jobs in Banking and Insurance and that has helped me with the creative process as an author.
What or who inspired the name "Zeeka" and his character? Does the name have a deeper meaning?
The Zika virus inspired the name ‘Zeeka.’ I built the story on the premise that a doctor discovered a cure for the disease but the hospital did not approve of its use. Zeeka Chronicles won Best Science Fiction Third Place in SIBA Awards 2017
Do you think it was harder or easier writing about your own life in "My Life as a Banker" as opposed to making a story up from the top of your head?
It is easier to write a true memoir than to write fiction.
With a memoir as My Life as a Banker, you already know the facts.
With non-fiction, you have to build a plot, create a story world, form characters, and many other factors have to be taken into consideration.
Have you ever got into legal trouble while researching, writing, or publishing any book?
Never.
Why did you write the book "She Cried For Me: Autobiography Of A Dog"? What were some things you hoped to achieve with this book?
When my pet dog died, I wanted to immortalize her.
The only way to do so was to write her story.
She was a dog who was badly treated by her previous owner before I adopted her.
She Cried for Me is a remarkable story for pet and dog lovers.
Proceeds from sales of the Book will go to the Animals Alive Dog Rescue Shelter, the Sanctuary referred to in the Book.
On whose life did you base the book "Memoirs of Dr. Andrew Moonir Khan" after? Of all your books, which one made you the most emotional?
Memoirs of Dr. Andrew Moonir Khan was about the life of my father. Of all my books, this book makes me the most emotional.
My father had to overcome many obstacles in his life to become a trailblazer in Education in Trinidad.
He climbed the ladder from classroom management to school principal and superintendent of schools.
Later in life, he became a Presiding Elder in his church and preached many sermons, some of which are appended to his biography.
His story is both motivational and inspiring.
We know that all a writer's books are like their children, but if you had to choose, which one would you say is your favourite?
My favourite is Zeeka Chronicles: Revenge of Zeeka. It was hard work writing the five stories in the series and compiling them into one book.
The series scored a double with Readers Favorite.
I had compiled the first three books into a trilogy called Revenge of Zeeka: Horror Trilogy.
In September 2016, I submitted the trilogy to Readers Favorite for a free review.
The book received a five-star review and five-star seal.
The following year I added two more books to the series - Zeeka’s Ghost Book 4 and Resurrection Book 5.
I compiled the five books into one book called Zeeka Chronicles.
I sent it to Readers Favorite and it received a five-star review and five-star seal.
My greatest wish is for that book to be made into a movie.
The five-book series is also available for $6.00 on Amazon.
What does your family think of your writing? Who has been your biggest source of support throughout your career?
My husband, our two children, and sisters are supportive of my writing. My daughter reads every book I write and gives me pointers.
When it comes to writing self-help books, what are some golden rules you like to follow? Where or from whom did a majority of the advice you give out in "How to Write for Success" come from?
How to Write for Success covers plotting, writing dialogue and narrative, building your story world, choosing a book title, writing the blurb, what an author should do before and after publishing, choosing categories, creating an author brand, book marketing, and most of all how to get sales and reviews.
It does not end there.
A reviewer had this to say about the book. "If you are thinking of writing a book but don't know where to start, then this book is the one for you. It's a comprehensive guide to all aspects of the process from picking your topic, deciding on your cover to how to sell your book once it's out there in the marketplace. I found many interesting facts and tips here and jotted them down as I went along. This is a book to keep and refer to on a continual basis. Well worth buying and a must-have for all writers!"
I acknowledged AllAuthor.com for its innovativeness and recommended it as one of the best website providers.
The book was on pre-order on Amazon for 0.99 cents until it was published on 1 st December 2017 when the price increased to $2.99.
It is also available in print.
To date, it has received five-star reviews and a five-star rating from Readers Favorite.

What is the best vacation you've ever been on?
I have been on several wonderful vacations and they are all detailed in my book, Travel Memoirs with Pictures. However, my very first vacation was a mega one.
It was a trip to New York, Canada, London, Germany, and Holland.
I described that trip in my book, My Life as a Banker.
That trip stands out in my mind.
Are you working on anything new? What are some new topics or stories that you want to experiment with in the future?
On November 21st, 2017 I published a free book containing exciting excerpts of all my works called Icebreakers.
The purpose of that book is to give Readers a taste of my writing.
It is available at Instafreebie and Books2Read.
I am also experimenting with other topics for fiction but those will be surprises.

A Summary for the Revenge of Zeeka Science Fiction Series
Zeeka and The Zombies is the first story in the science fiction series Zeeka Chronicles, which contains five spine-chilling tales set on an imaginary Caribbean island called Gosh in the year 2036.
The book Zeeka and the Zombies serves as an introduction to this mind-boggling series.
Integrated in the mystery is a love story as well as a family drama. The combination of these three aspects in this collection makes it an exciting read. Persons who enjoy detective novels, romance fiction, or science fiction will love this book.
The main character in Zeeka and the Zombies is Raynor Sharpe, a gynecologist who works at a hospital on the island. He, together with the hospital's director and another doctor, Mark, were working at the hospital twenty years before when an outbreak of the zika virus occurred.
The hospital delivered fifty-one stillborn babies from pregnant women who were infected with the virus during their pregnancy. However, it turned out that the babies were not buried but were, in fact, taken by someone evil and turned into zombies.
The secret is revealed when one of the zombies, Number Nine, appeared at the hospital, having been sent by the vengeful and evil Master Zeeka, to survey the scene so that he could attack the hospital in the future. But was he a real zombie?
In the meantime, Raynor's love interest, Janet, also a doctor at the same hospital, told Raynor that she is engaged and plans to marry another doctor.
She sent out invitations to all her colleagues, including Raynor. Raynor was always secretly in love with Janet but had never proposed to her although he had bought an engagement ring intending to do so. The plot thickens when the wedding invitation reveals that Janet's fiancé is Dr. Jason Stephens, who the police suspect of being Master Zeeka.
Jason calls off the engagement with Janet and disappears. Raynor finally proposes to Janet and she gladly accepts.
The police cannot find Master Zeeka, but Raynor and his new bride enjoy a magnificent honeymoon.
The story continues in Zeeka's Child. The search for Master Zeeka intensifies.
We learn that the main suspect, Jason Stephens, is actually innocent.
The real culprit is revealed and is a person who had kidnapped Jason when he was a child.
Jason is Raynor’s older brother, Dr. Steven Sharpe who returns and reunites with his brother. Steven is the real hero in the series.
Steven marries Mandy, Janet’s older sister.
The police force launches a massive hunt for the real killer.
In the third instalment, Zeeka Returns, the police hunt down the real killer and the nine flesh-eating zombies that accompany him in the jungle. These scenes are full of suspense and tension as we wonder whether the police officers would capture Master Zeeka or whether the zombies will destroy them.
It turns out, however, that he is eventually captured, not by the police, but by Miranda, a beautiful female robot who had been employed by Raynor and Janet.
Zeeka commits suicide while in custody.
Just when you thought the story was over Zeeka returns in Zeeka's Ghost: Revenge of Zeeka 4.
Zeeka is back but not how you expect.
Unresolved issues, regrets, love, and a ghost, with the right mix of startling plot twists, makes this story a thrilling read.
Who would want to kidnap Mandy, and why?
Can Steven save her from the clutches of the kidnappers in time?
A questionable character returns from one of the previous books in ‘Resurrection: Revenge of Zeeka 5.’ He causes even more disarray in the lives of Steven and Mandy.
Dr. Steven Sharpe's reputation is on the line when he attempts an unimaginable cure to help a man desperate for a new life.
One more burning question is answered in this episode. The identity of Number Nine is revealed.
Resurrection closes the Zeeka series on a high note.
The many twists and turns in this book make it exciting, thrilling and suspenseful.
Read all five books in the series.

"Reviewed By Darin Godby for Readers' Favorite
Author Brenda Mohammed gives the reader valuable nuggets of truth to use within their own writing career in How To Write For Success.
There is a brief introduction listing the various books the author has written and her ability to encompass different types of literature.
The purpose of this book is to show readers that the author has a passion to help other readers fulfill their lifelong dream of writing their own book.
I really appreciated the personal stories on how the author writes her own material and how important research is, even before one begins to write.
She also lists several Facebook groups she has joined to help promote both her material and herself as an author.
One of the best statements I appreciated within this book is: “A book description is your sales page.
It will sell your book. Make sure it is engaging and can turn a browse into a buy.”
This is great and valuable information for a writer to understand.
There is also listed the importance of copyrighting the material, getting an ISBN number, etc. Whoever gets the ISBN number is considered the publisher.
The author has the choice of getting their own or letting the publisher get it for them.
Pre-orders are very important to an author.
Creating excitement before the book is even printed is huge.
There are also many listed things that one can do following publication.
Branding yourself is also very important.
People must know about you and your material, how to find it and consider reading it.
I really enjoyed all the links provided in the e-book, allowing the reader to go to various publishers, writing aids, Facebook groups, etc.
This is an asset to any writer at any level, given the detailed information, but for the beginner, it is a must-have!"

Reviewed By Faridah Nassozi for Readers' Favorite
In Revenge of Zeeka by Brenda Mohammed, 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 for 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 himself a perfect army of zombies. Now, twenty years later, the evil scientist seeks revenge on those he holds responsible for the stillbirths. Only three of the current doctors at Central Hospital - Raynor, Mark, and George - witnessed the unfortunate events of 2016. The three have strong suspicions about who might be controlling the zombies. Meanwhile, Zeeka is lying in wait for the perfect time to unleash his army onto the island. Zeeka has big, evil plans and this is just the beginning. In a desperate search for answers, and with very little to go on, the doctors search for the elusive Master Zeeka. Will they save the islanders from Zeeka and his zombies, or will it be too late?
Revenge of Zeeka by Brenda Mohammed is a one of a kind novella trilogy that delivers an incredible story guaranteed to give readers an absolute sci-fi treat. I especially liked how Brenda used current events as the pivotal point from which to build this amazing sci-fi horror. This made the story even more relatable. More importantly, however, I admired how she owned her story and created this captivating version of events. She captured with an amazing depth the setting, characters, plot, and emotions in such few words. If you are looking for a thrilling short read, this fast-paced, sci-fi action novella will give you the time of your life."

"Reviewed By Sarah Stuart for Readers' Favorite
Zeeka Chronicles: Revenge of Zeeka by Brenda Mohammed opens with Zeeka and the Zombies.
On the island of Gosh in January 2036, Raynor Sharpe is woken by rattling to find a beach full of small robots.
Is he still dreaming?
Raynor is a hospital doctor and so is the woman he secretly loves, but Janet is engaged to another man.
Gosh’s carnival is turned from an exotic native spectacle to tragedy by a troop of entertainers: zombies who shoot into the audience, killing and injuring hundreds.
How can these monsters disintegrate into a heap of dust?
Why is one false head found?
Who is Zeeka, and does he control the zombies?
Why does Janet cancel her wedding?
Can the Chief of Police be trusted, or is he as corrupt as others in the force?
Read on: Zeeka's Child; Zeeka Returns, Zeeka's Ghost, and Resurrection hold the un-guessable answers.
Zeeka Chronicles comprises five books from the Revenge of Zeeka series in which 2036 is shown as a technically advanced world by gadgets like watches that act much like today’s smartphones, plus visual contact, robots, and much more.
The story is built on the premise that a doctor discovers a cure for a disease but is prevented from using it.
However, the plot becomes more entangled the farther you read, with police corruption, suicide, kidnapping, and a very active ghost.
Brenda Mohammed’s writing style is evocative of the future and she handles the science in her fiction brilliantly: reading is believing!
I loved Zeeka Chronicles; it has worldwide appeal for anyone looking for an entertaining story that is different."

Before planning your next vacation read Travel Memoirs with Pictures.
BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Travel Memoirs with Pictures: Exploring the World is a book filled with reflections of the author's travels around the world.
She relates the family adventures and treats readers to a pictorial travel book of priceless memories.
She describes places visited and the wonderful times she and her family had in their tourist trips, not only in words but with an amazing photo collection.
The book is great to read while on a vacation or for some travel inspiration.
WHAT REVIEWERS ARE SAYING ABOUT TRAVEL MEMOIRS WITH PICTURES
A great and inspirational book!
Brenda Mohammed is an award-winning author who writes in many genres. While many people travel, few of us are capable of sharing our experience in a meaningful and relevant way with strangers. This author does a superb job.
Her book is very personal and one can feel as if a friend were relating her travel impressions and giving us her tips. Paradoxically, this personal and openly subjective touch makes the tips about restaurants and other commercial places for tourists sound less biased than a professional guidebook where it is often difficult to distinguish an honest review from a paid ad. In this book, we can read real first-hand accounts that are very precious to any explorers and travelers.
This book can inspire us when we plan our next vacation, it can also make us reflect on our own experience and realize what we might have missed when we visited a particular place, but it can also take us to places we do not have time or money to visit anytime soon. It’s also interesting to read a short entry about places that we consider our home since we cannot always see what makes them special unless we step away and look at them from a distance through a tourist’s eyes.
I found it exciting to read about places I visited and lived since the author has a keen eye and often notices thinks I don’t. But her chapter on Trinidad and Tobago, a place I have not been to, was probably the most interesting one to me. The author was born there and seems to know it very well. The ghost stories about the village of Lopinot make me want to visit and explore the place.
Enjoyable Memoirs of Author's Travels
An informative and enjoyable book to read. The author writes of her world travels with her family. She shares her experiences with the reader.
You'll read of the various sites to see in each location, the restaurants with delicious foods, and which restaurants are more reasonable in cost and which more expensive. She writes of the various ways to travel and of the climate of the location. You read her travels to different locations in the world:
Paris, Germany, Amsterdam (Holland), New York (USA), Los Angeles, California(USA), Las Vegas, Nevada (USA), London (United Kingdom), Toronto (Canada), Colorado (USA), New Orleans (USA), Italy, Spain, Miami (USA), Orlando (USA), Caribbean Vacations, Anguilla, Puerto Rico, Caracas, Barbados, Cruise to the Bahamas, Cartegena, Cruise to Cozumel (Mexico), Trinidad and Tobago.
Nearing the end of her book she ends with a delightful poem of her travels. This was a nice touch!
Loved this travel memoir!
This is a great travel memoir. The author has been so many amazing places! I loved her descriptions of Spain and Italy – two of my favorite destinations. She also included some terrific pictures. A 5-star travel memoir!
This is a family travelogue – a day by day recounting of flights, hotel stays, restaurants, shopping and tourist sites that the author and her extended family have experienced over the years. And they’ve been to a lot of places, including Italy, Spain, various locations in the US and the Caribbean Islands, among others. There are many down to earth descriptions of what it’s like to travel, even including getting sick or getting overheated. There are cautionary tales about such things as wearing comfortable shoes while walking in Venice because of the uneven cobblestone streets and not expecting an elevator to take you back down the mountain and possibly damaging your knees going down 296 steps. One especially interesting anecdote involved eating at a restaurant in Venice, thinking they were getting a nice fish meal for only 6 Euro each when it turned out that price was PER GRAM of fish. Meaning the family ended up paying a small fortune for seven meals. And there’s the embarrassing story about how the fire alarm went off in a Miami hotel, everyone dashing down the stairs to the parking lot, only to discover it was a false alarm. And to discover belatedly that the author was wearing a sheer nightgown. Another cautionary tale, perhaps. The author also includes family photos from most of their many vacations.
Travel Memoirs With Pictures is the second travelogue I have read this year, and just like the other book, readers will find themselves treated to a pictorial story as they go along. Some books like these tend to be 'photo-heavy' and rather redundant with the actual test.
In other words, pretty pictures alone do not make for a great book. So it's with pleasure that this book gives us insight into many countries.
I paid particular regard to places I had been to before in this book, for example, places like Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Italy, France (because I have been to these places before) and others.
Of the places I haven't yet been to, I would dearly love to go to Cartegena (in fact, thank you Author for putting this idea in my head!), but readers will have their own choices as they read the book.
Of course, the author has been to England and to my country's capital, London. As a national I must say that whilst London is definitely worth visiting, there are many gems in England that people don't know about. Aside from writing I do love to get out there and see what England....10 minutes drive in any direction from where I live, has to offer.
Travel Memoirs With Pictures offers readers a personal glance into one tourists view of many different places, and the different ways one can travel to them.
Recommended for anyone who has the travel bug!
This is a great way to learn about a real holiday/place experience.
Brenda Mohammed has such a personable way of describing her experiences from everything from restaurants, flights and hotels.
I enjoyed this very much and like all of her books, her natural style fully engaged me.
Very worthwhile and enjoyable.
A true travel memoir, which is filled with wonderful family memories anyone can appreciate. A fan of travel, the author takes us along on each trip as if we were right there with her. Great to read while on a vacation or when you just want to feel like you're on vacation.
Get the book at Amazon Universal Link.

What Readers are saying about 'Retirement is Fun'
RETIREMENT IS FUN: When one door closes another opens.
1. An enjoyable account of retirement from an amazing author!
Ms. Mohammed recounts in great detail her decision to embark on a totally new career, with its ensuing challenges and rewards, after retiring from a successful career in banking.
2. It’s the web of family closeness facilitated by Brenda from which she draws strength in her darkest hour as she is afflicted with cancer and successfully grapples with retirement. It is in Brenda’s indefatigable efforts to champion the cause of family even as she journeys through a series sicknesses, births and deaths sequences and remains unfazed that a true hero is born.
3. "Retirement is Fun", is a seamless account of family life, hard work, and dedication. The author talks about her impressive career from banker to an insurance agent, to a lifetime member of the company that she worked for. Through it all, she beat the odds of life-threatening health problems.
4. Enlightening and inspiring, author Brenda Mohammed takes us through a bird's eye view turned fly on the wall look at her life. Banking? Insurance? Exotic holidays? For some of us, such a life is beyond our reach. For those of us to strive just be a little bit better at what we do, each and every day, we are the kind of reader suited to this book.
5. Anyone can read it, but you will be pleasantly surprised just how the author takes on new challenges with gusto. True, she has a large family and strong network of friends egging her on, but this is clearly her own tale, and how retirement is anything but a door closing.
6. After working for many years, it is difficult to pack up your job and leave an establishment, which became like a second home.
The author wondered what she would do when she retired at a very young age. It was the policy of the bank in those days.
The birth of her grandchildren brought much joy into her life. Her book is filled with inspiration and hope and it is one that everyone should read whether you are retiring or not.
8. Take a flight into the fascinating and fast-paced life of author Brenda Mohammed as she reflects on her years of early retirement. “Retirement is Fun” reads like a journal detailing the many aspects of Mohammed’s post-retirement days spent traveling the world. We follow her and her family as they globe-trot from their native Trinidad to the world’s largest cities, including Rome, London, and New York, to more exotic locations, such as Spain, Anguilla, and Columbia, and to popular tourist destinations like Hollywood and Las Vegas, as the author gives her impressions of each stop along the way.
9. "Retirement is Fun", is a seamless account of family life, hard work, and dedication. The author talks about her impressive career from banker to an insurance agent.
10. A well-written chronicle of the author's experiences and adventures since her retirement from a long career in the bank
This inspiring book tells of the many adventures experienced by the author after retiring from a banking career.

He said, 'Funerals are dress rehearsals and every one of us has an expiry date.'
Yesterday was my neighbour's daughter's funeral at the Seventh Day Adventist church.
After the service, we were invited for refreshments in another building at the side of the church.
I wanted to use the restroom so I went there.
There was a step-down that was not clearly defined and I fell face forward and damaged my nose and lip.
Other parts of my body were bruised.
I was spitting blood and that scared me, but later realised it was from a cut on my lip.
I screamed for Rashiff and he came and lifted me off the floor and a huge crowd gathered to sympathize with me.
My neighbour had two doctor relatives there and they checked me out.
It was a horrific experience and we came home right away.
The church minister had just preached from Ecclesiastes 3, "There is a time to be born and a time to die."
I wrote a book based on those words. It is on Amazon.

Dark Horror - Revenge of Zeeka: Horror Trilogy.
REVENGE OF ZEEKA: HORROR TRILOGY is a dark horror science fiction novel that will make your skin crawl and give you goosebumps.
A strange - looking person turned up at the renowned Gosh Hospital in the scenic island of Gosh in the year 2036.
He asked to see Dr. George Brown, Medical Chief of staff.
He claimed to be a zombie who reported to Master Zeeka and revealed information about a plot to attack the hospital.
But was he really a zombie?
Dr. Brown was suspicious of his motives, sedated him, left him in Room Nine, and called a meeting of the hospital doctors to discuss the recorded conversation between the zombie and him.
The zombie had no name and Dr. Brown referred to him as Number Nine because he left him in Room 9.
He outsmarted Dr. Brown and disappeared causing the doctors with the exception of two, Dr. Raynor Sharpe and Dr. Mark Schmidt, to disbelieve what Dr. Brown told them.
They even questioned whether Nine was really a zombie as he made no attempt to attack any humans in the hospital.
The three doctors vowed to uncover the truth.
A few weeks later at the national Carnival celebrations, a colourful sailor band with zombie-like persons launched a fatal attack on innocent spectators, confirming Number Nine's revelations to Dr. Brown.
It appeared that Number Nine died in that attack
Fingers were pointed at one man for the brutal attacks, but was he the real perpetrator?
One man knew Zeeka's secrets and he revealed them on a flash drive.
Did the authorities believe him or did they falsely accuse him?

Meet Brenda Mohammed
From Banker to Author - who would have imagined that a harrowing diagnosis of cancer could change your career and open a whole new world!! Thank you for sharing, Brenda Mohammed!!
Zeeka Chronicles: Revenge of Zeeka [Science Fiction and fantasy]
I did not choose writing as my career. It happened by chance.
I was a successful banker and after I retired from banking, moved on to Insurance where I also excelled. I qualified for the prestigious Million Dollar Round Table six times in a row and had the privilege to attend MDRT Conferences abroad. Those opportunities broadened my knowledge in new areas which prepared me for writing.
My writing journey began after my bout with cancer. I wrote 'I am Cancer Free' and self-published it in June 2013 eight years after my near-death experience with cancer. I wrote that book to tell people suffering from that disease that cancer does not have to be a death sentence. That book [my first] was the winner of Mc Grath House Indie Book Awards in the category Non-Fiction in September 2016. It also received a five-star review and five-star seal from Readers Favorite in 2017.
I traveled extensively on vacations and conferences for many years during my banking and Insurance careers, and even after retirement. I wrote four memoirs about my life as a banker, retirement, travel, and a spiritual one, all before trying my hand at fiction.
I tried fiction because of something that my brother said to me in one of his letters prior to his death. He wrote in reference to my book, ‘My Life as a Banker: A Life Worth Living,'
“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 you. It creates beauty, justice, and happiness, which are everything in this world.”
I took my brother’s advice and in the year 2014 wrote, ‘Heart-Warming Tales,’ and ‘Stories People Love.’ Both books are short story collections. They each received five-star reviews from readers, but I still felt that I needed to write more exciting stories.
An idea for a science fiction series came to me and in February 2016, I published Zeeka and the Zombies: Revenge of Zeeka Book 1. Within a few months, I released Zeeka’s Child Book 2, and Zeeka Returns Book 3. The series scored a double with Readers Favorite. I had compiled the first three books into a trilogy called Revenge of Zeeka: Horror Trilogy. In September 2016, I submitted the trilogy to Readers Favorite for a free review. The book received a five-star review and five-star seal. You can read the review here.
The following year I added two more books to the series - Zeeka’s Ghost Book 4 and Resurrection Book 5. I compiled the five books into one book called Zeeka Chronicles: Revenge of Zeeka. I sent it to Readers Favorite for a free review and it received a five-star review and five-star seal. Read the review from Readers Favorite.
A fan nominated the book for the Metamorph Publishing Summer Indies Book Awards. It won Best Science Fiction third place in September 2017.
These are headlines Reviewers wrote in their Reviews for Zeeka Chronicles.
Thank you, Readers.
1. I found the book to be original, brilliant, and full of suspense.
2. Just when you thought you knew everything about Zombies, comes this imaginative tale that re-defines their existence.
3. I loved this book. It will make a great movie. I recommend it if you love sci-fi novels.
4.Great Science Fiction reading
5.Twilight Zone-like Sci-Fi Shorts
6.Excellent, original story.
7.Blind-siding Events Abound
8.A fascinating vision of our future
9.An above average zombie series brought together in one superb collection.
10.Teens and up will adore this book.
11. I loved Zeeka Chronicles; it has worldwide appeal for anyone looking for an entertaining story that is different.
The Book is available on Amazon Universal Link and Books2Read Universal Link.
To date, I have self-published eighteen books. I enjoy being an author.

My Writing Journey in 2017
Let me wish all my Readers a very merry Christmas and a bright and prosporous New Year.
Looking back at my writing journey in 2017, I accomplished much and it is all because of the reviews and encouragement you gave me.
I ended the Zeeka Series with Resurrection Book 5
Resurrection: Revenge of Zeeka Book 5 is the grand finale to the Science fiction series Zeeka Chronicles: Revenge of Zeeka.
Someone resurrected and it is not Zeeka.
Who is the stranger that Mandy's robot helper, Eve, encounters in the backyard?
He claims to know Zeeka.
Who is this stranger?
When he learns that Eve is a robot, he tells her his story.
Eve promises to keep their discussion a secret but can she?
She records the conversation on her security device until she decides to play it for Steven and Mandy.
