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.

NEW RELEASE - CONSPIRACY STORIES by AUTHOR BRENDA MOHAMMED

 

On 15th July 2021, I released a new Fiction Thriller, CONSPIRACY STORIES.

Already, the book is becoming popular on Book Bub, Book Hub, AllAuthor, Goodreads, Amazon, and other platforms.

WITHIN "CONSPIRACY STORIES," you’d find three chilling and addictive stories to awaken your mind.

THE DARK SECRET is a riddle of rumours, mysterious incidents, truth, and crime. Cindy Norton returns from France to surprise her parents in Cypriot when the borders were reopened after the lockdown. Cindy and her boyfriend Tim encounter a series of mysterious incidents, and are hailed by the Police as heroes, for their part in solving a serious crime. What was the dark secret?
EXEMPTION TO KILL. Brigitte Stone ignores her parents’ advice and rushes into marriage with a foreigner whom she met online. After a blissful honeymoon, her husband Jerry changed drastically and she could not recognize him. Did he really try to kill her when she told him she was pregnant? Or did she imagine it?
HER STALKER. The third story revolves around a young woman named Jane Reid, who left her husband, Rod. She returned to her parent's home and took a job as a psychiatric aide with her Dad. Events that followed, led her to believe that Rod was stalking her. Was Rod her stalker, or was it someone else that she least suspected?

Here is a five-star review from Amazon: -

Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2021

The 39th publication of Brenda Mohammed is just what I expected. “CONSPIRACY STORIES,” are indeed chilling and addictive, and will cause readers to think and reflect on their surroundings.
THE DARK SECRET is filled with rumours, mysterious incidents, truth, and crime. I love that Truth won out in the end.
EXEMPTION TO KILL is for young people contemplating marriage. There are valuable lessons to learn from this story.
HER STALKER which is the third story is just as mind-blowing as the first two Jealousy and envy can cause some persons to do crazy things.

HOW TO WRITE A BOOK DESCRIPTION [BLURB]

 

HOW TO WRITE A BOOK DESCRIPTION [BLURB]

After the title and the book cover, your description is the most important book marketing material.

The book description goes most prominently on the back cover, and the top of your Amazon page (below the price and above the book reviews). It’s crucial it be compelling because readers make buying decisions from the book description.

Describe your book in simple, straightforward, and consumer-friendly terms. Your description should be at least 150-200 words long.

Start with a clear and punchy headline, an “elevator pitch,” or “a hook” that can stand alone and is grabbing. The headline should sell your book without an interested person having to read more. Make it bold and follow it with a paragraph break.

Highlight what matters to a reader - genre, key topics, and themes.

Your book description should have a strong selling focus.

Have a look at this YouTube video from Scribe Book School that gives you good and bad examples of book descriptions.

THE MYTH OF MEDUSA DECONSTRUCTED - ANTHOLOGY

I am sharing a post about an Anthology named The Myth of Medusa Deconstructed.

Setu 🌉 सेतु: Guest Editor’s Note: Women Poetry: The Myth of Med...: Padmaja Iyengar-Paddy Dear Setu readers and my dear poet friends, Greetings. When a bowler takes a hat trick of wickets, the entire...

I thank Padmaja Iyengar - Paddy for including my poems in this outstanding Anthology "The Myth of Medusa Deconstructed" which has received over 2,000,000 views.

I greatly appreciate that you requested my contribution.

HERE ARE MY POEMS:

“The Myth of Medusa - Deconstructed”!

Medusa was a beautiful woman raped and scorned.

A victim of patriarchal leadership into which she was born.

Her beautiful hair was turned into a head of snakes,

Because of a lustful Greek God’s crime and mistakes.

*

Throughout history, she has been portrayed as a monster.

Beheaded by Perseus for something that was done to her.

She was an innocent, helpless, and powerless woman.

Who was referred to in all classics as the dread Gorgon.

*

It’s time in this modern-day to de-myth the Greek mythology.

And spread the news throughout the world about the true story.

Women have always been stigmatized and blamed for male lust.

Let us open our eyes and turn this sexual stigma into dust.

*

Medusa’s story has raised many questions by modern-day women.

Was it she who desecrated the temple of Minerva or Poseidon?

Why did Goddess Minerva turn her face away and pretend not to see?

Medusa is our protector and guardian and not a monstrosity.

Copyright@BrendaMohammed

LUST IS EVIL

Neptune’s lustful eyes fell on the pretty maiden.

As she worshipped in Minerva’s temple, her haven.

He raped her, and the Goddess made her an example.

Medusa was blamed for desecrating the temple.

*

In the vilest way, vengeance on Minerva she takes.

Turning her golden ringlets into phallic snakes.

When men looked at her they turned into stone

Never again could they return to their home.

*

The only man who had success was Perseus.

From her neck sprang the winged horse, Pegasus

He decapitated her head and used it for protection.

Minerva designed a motif of the head to prevent destruction.

*

Medusa became a protector for both man and woman

A fashion company portrays her in a modern manifestation.

For the modern woman, Medusa is an image of sexual oppression.

Let us tell the true story and stop the stigmatization of women.

Brenda Mohammed was interviewed for the International Human Rights Arts Festival

 

I am sharing my interview with Wole Adedoyin of the International Human Rights Art Festival.

1.         Tell us all about your writing background- what you’ve written, what you’re currently writing.

 I started writing in the year 2013. I was a former bank manager and a Financial Advisor. Cancer struck and I survived miraculously. I wrote a memoir to relate my experiences and to advise readers that cancer is not a death sentence. It became a best seller. That encouraged me to keep writing and to date, I have published 36 books. My last book, a psychological thriller, was published on March 10^th, 2021, so I have not yet decided what will be my next topic for my 37^th book.

I love to dabble in every genre and have written memoirs, romances, science fiction, mysteries, thrillers, children’s, self-help, and poetry. I have also compiled poetry anthologies and started a quarterly magazine for the How to Write for Success Literary Network of which I am the Founder.

 

2.         What excites you about a piece of writing?

Writing which is well expressed and filled with emotion excite any reader. I am excited about such writings.

 

3.         Who are your favourite writers and why?

 

One popular writer whose books I enjoy is Stephen King. His writing style is easy to read and his books are thrilling.

I have also read many books by not-so-famous writers, whose writings are compelling to read.

I would like to mention that one of the first books I read that inspired me for life was, The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale.

 

4.         What advice would you give to a new writer starting out?

 

I wrote a book especially for new writers, and it is also for seasoned writers. The name of the book is How to Write for Success. It is the book that inspired me to establish a Literary forum with three sub-forums and growing membership in excess of 11,000 members.

This bestselling book received a five-star review from Readers Favorite one month after it was published in December 2017.

In August 2019 it topped all the books in the Non-Fiction category of Connections Emagazine Readers’ Choice awards and won the gold medal in the category non-fiction. It also placed second in all categories and won the silver medal. It is remarkable that my romance novel, STORIES PEOPLE LOVE placed first in all categories, and also won the gold medal in the romance category. It was a quadruple win.

The merits of the book HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS were featured in a review in the Ethiopian Herald Sunday Edition on February 16th, 2020. Alem Hailu of The Ethiopian Herald surprised me with this detailed review which he published.

https://www.press.et/english/?p=19103

 

 

5.         What inspires you to write?

 

I receive my inspiration to write from everyday life experiences. I observe a lot about what is taking place in the world and around me.

 

6.         Do you have a writing routine? A place that’s special?

 

I have a comfortable library with a computer and all writing accessories. I spend most of the day there when I am not shopping or in the kitchen. My husband is very supportive of my writing and he cooks lunch on many days and serves me in the library. That way, I can spend many hours writing with no time limits.

 

7.         How, when and why did you first start writing?

 

I always loved writing from school days and topped my class in essay competitions. I graduated with a distinction 1 in English language. When I worked at the bank, my superiors were always impressed with my writing and financial acumen. I was promoted to the Credit Department to prepare financial proposals for business customers, and many of my proposals were approved by Head office officials without question. I was later promoted to Managerial status and assisted in the business growth of the bank’s branches and towns to which I was assigned. I still did not think of writing as a career until my bout with cancer as I mentioned above.   

 

8.         What was the first piece you ever had published?

The first book I published was I am Cancer Free and it became a bestseller.

 

9.         Do you address particular themes or issues in your writing?

 

Yes. I do. In many of my books you will see that I have addressed issues such as love, heartbreak, suicide, domestic abuse, revenge, kidnapping, life’s purpose, retirement, and others.  

 

10.      How did you feel when you first started sending your writing out into the world?

 

To be honest, I was very scared. I was scared that readers would not like my writings. I was so wrong. I received many five-star reviews, awards, and accolades. Many books achieved Amazon bestselling ranking No 1.

 

11.      Where do you get your ideas from?

 

For the fiction books, I used my imagination. For the memoirs, they were all my personal experiences.

 

12.      How did you get your publisher?

 

I self-published all of my books on Amazon.

 

13.      Tell us what kind of responses you get from audiences\ers.

 

I won several literary awards in the USA, Peru, Kazakhstan, Seychelles, Nigeria, India, Argentina, and the UK, and made headlines in several newspapers around the world.

I was inducted into the Indie Author's Wall of Fame in the USA. in January 2020.

In 2018, I received two awards from Readers Favorite International in Miami for two of my books- Zeeka Chronicles and I am Cancer Free.

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

Several of my books received five-star reviews from Readers Favourite International, topped the charts of Amazon, and attained Amazon bestselling rank No 1.

I was recognized in newspaper reports in Trinidad and Tobago Newsday on 7th November 2018, 16th October 2020, and Trinidad Guardian and Worldnews.net on 20th September 2020. 

News of my success reached as far as Ethiopia where a journalist by the name of Alem Hailu interviewed me online on 17th November 2019 for the Ethiopian Sunday Herald. He also published a glowing and detailed review of my book How to Write for Success.

 

 

14.      How can people find out more about you?

 

I am on Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

 

 

15.      Tips, tricks, things to pass on to dedicated write?

 

I will suggest that new and aspiring writers read my book, How to Write for Success and join my How to Write for Success Literary Network on Facebook, to learn tips, tricks, and what it takes to become a bestselling author.

 

16.      Any typical/common mistakes that new writers tend to make?

 

Many writers believe that after publishing their books they can sit back and relax and readers will rush to buy their books. If readers do not know about their books how can they buy them?

Writers must learn to market their books to forums and places that are frequented by readers who are looking for good books to read. They must also be prepared to spend money on book promotions.

Another mistake that writers make, is to only publish the paperback version. While it is a known fact that paperback sales exceed those of kindle, kindle sales can cause your book to top the ranks on Amazon, become a bestseller, and pave the way for your paperback sales.

It is always advisable to do both paperback and Kindle versions.

The third mistake writers make is in determining categories. Some writers are using categories that do not match the content of their books.

For instance, a poetry book described in the blurb as romantic poetry, or, an Anthology of adult poems should not be categorized as Children's Literature.

There could be repercussions if a parent looks at the category only, and buy such books as presents for their children, only to realize they are for adults. Amazon has a section below each book to report such issues.

Read all about this in the award-winning and best-selling book HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS available on Amazon.

 

17.      Which of your books were the most enjoyable to write?

 

I enjoyed writing all 36 of my books, but the one that has a special place in my heart is Zeeka Chronicles. Here is the book description:

If you have not yet read Zeeka Chronicles, a futuristic thriller and award-winning novel inspired by the scare of the zika virus, you will be unaware of what can take place in the minds of mad scientists who try to use a virus to control lives. Dr. Stephen Sharpe, kidnapped as a child and raised by an evil man nicknamed Zeeka, who tried to use science for revenge, attempts to restore sanity to the island of Gosh, even if it means throwing his fiancé into the arms of his brother, who never knew him. It is a complicated tale where zombies and robots take center stage. ZEEKA CHRONICLES: REVENGE OF ZEEKA. written by multi-award-winning and bestselling Author Brenda Mohammed, comprises five thrilling episodes set on a beautiful fictitious island named Gosh in the year 2036. This futuristic thriller was an award winner in the Category Young Adult Thriller in Readers Favorite International Awards 2018, winner in Science Fiction in SIBA Awards 2017, winner of the gold award in the category science fiction in Connections Emagazine Readers' Choice Awards 2018, and winner in the top ten finalists for science-fiction in the Author Academy Global Awards 2018. Readers Favorite International gave it a five-star review. Take a futuristic journey into the year 2036 with this mind-blowing, bold, and original 'other world' book, that will capture your imagination and keep you spellbound.

 

18.      Tell us about your first published book? What was the journey like?

 

As I said before, my first published book was I am Cancer Free. It was an emotional journey writing that book, as I had to recall the whole traumatic experience including the financial expenses involved.

 

19.      What is the key theme and/or message in the book?

 

The key theme of the book is, Cancer does not have to be a death sentence.

Here is the book description:
