LOVE IS LIKE RAIN

Falling in love is like a downpour of rain.

You may try to prevent it but all in vain.

You can't predict it but can see the signs.

It’s too late when with another your heart binds.

Love, like rain, does not choose the grass on which to fall.

Your heart does the choosing and makes the call.

There’s no stopping the rain when it starts to pour.

Love is like that when it reaches your door.

Couples are drenched with showers of love, like rain.

But when love dies, they become submerged with pain.

When you’re in love, you feel like dancing in the rain.

When betrayed by love, you never want to fall in love again.

Love challenges can be compared to heavy rains.

When love weakens, becomes stormy, and it wanes.

Don’t give up; pray for a strong umbrella.

If you value your love and want to stay together.

THE SUCCESS STORY OF HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS LITERARY FORUM

HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS LITERARY FORUM was founded by Trinidadian author BRENDA MOHAMMED in February 2018.

After her successful entry into the literary world in 2013 and having written a number of books, some of which won awards and became bestsellers, she wrote the book HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS to help new and aspiring authors. One month after its publication, Readers Favorite International gave it a five-star review.

Reviewed by Darin Godby for Readers’ Favorite, Five Stars.

“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 pages. It will sell your book. Make sure it is engaging and can turn a browse into a buy.” This is a 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!.”

This review inspired Brenda to start the Literary Forum, How to Write for Success.

In October 2018, Shiju H Pallithazheth, the Founder of Motivational Strips, the world’s most active writers’ forum approached Brenda to affiliate her forum with Motivational Strips and she agreed. This affiliation worked in favour of both forums and the benefits were many. Both groups saw an increase in membership.

In February 2019, How to Write for Success Literary Forum produced an Anthology of Poems to prevent Suicide. ‘A Spark of Hope’ co-authored by 47 poets of both forums topped the charts of Amazon and became Amazon bestseller No 1 in Poetries and Anthologies.

In August 2019, the book ‘How to Write for Success;’ topped all the books in the Non-Fiction category of Connections Emagazine Readers’ Choice awards and won the gold medal. It also won the silver medal in the overall categories for second place. The first place went to one of Brenda’s books, ‘Stories People Love.’ It was a double victory.

Because of favourable reports received about A Spark of Hope, which saved many from committing suicide, on 11th February 2020, the forum published Volume two of A Spark of Hope. That book, which was co-authored by 64 poets, also topped the charts of Amazon to become bestseller No 1 in Poetries and Anthologies.

The increase in Domestic Violence throughout the world raised much concern for poets in both forums. On March 5th, Break the Silence: An Anthology against Domestic Violence, coauthored by 87 poets was published by the forum. That Anthology also topped the charts of Amazon to become bestseller No 1 in Poetries and Anthologies.

The merits of the book, ‘How to Write for Success’ were featured in a comprehensive review in the Ethiopian Herald Sunday Edition on February 16th, 2020, by senior journalist Alem Hailu. He gave full details of how it can help new and even seasoned authors.

This is one sentence from his lengthy review, ‘As a novelist, book reviewer, and editor myself, I wish I had this book by my bedside for reference in my previous literary pursuits, for unlike other books, I made recourse to, in a bid to fathom the literary devices authors, as well as book reviewers, are expected to well digest, HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS profits a wide array of writers if they, in good time, upload it in their backpacks.’

On 28th May 2020, WORLD NATIONS WRITERS UNION conferred on How to Write for Success Literary Forum a rare and exclusive award to selfless literary institutions that have very high standards of operations, and serve the world of literature selflessly.

On August 15th, 2020, it was a moment of pride when the Founder and all Administrators of HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS LITERARY FORUM were honoured by Motivational Strips, the world’s most active writers’ forum, and Gujarat Sahitya Academy of Gujarat, India.

To date, the Forum which now has three sub-forums have a total of members as follows:

How to Write for Success 6,300

Poems for Suicide Prevention 1,300

Poems Against Domestic Violence 1,100

Library of how to Write for Success 308

TRAVEL THROUGH COSMIC WAVES WITH THE GHOST WISDOM

SNEAK PREVIEW FOR GHOST WISDOM - FIVE STARS

Dear Readers, Today I have insider news for you.

As Editor, I was very fortunate to have read THE GHOST WISDOM by Author Shiju H Pallithazheth, before the release of the book.

The author has written this inspiring book with guidance from a cosmic force which he refers to as a Ghost.

The contents of this book will amaze readers. Each of the eleven chapters has ten whispers from the ghost That is a total of 110 whispers, which deal with every aspect of human behaviour.
All eleven chapters are filled with literary medicine for the soul.

The author’s first encounter with the ghost is in Oman, his place of residence.

Thereafter, as he travelled around the world, the ghost turned up at appropriate times to impart the information to him. He was always careful to take notes of these words of wisdom on his phone, and later developed his interpretation of each one.

This book, which is filled with valuable lessons to achieve happiness in life, is a treat to read, as the ghost follows the author to Georgia, Morocco, Sri Lanka, Greece, Spain, Belgium, Prague, France, and Armenia. I felt as if I was actually present in those places as the author vividly described each country where he encountered the smoky image.

I was fascinated with the author’s explanations of many human behavioural traits and how we can benefit by applying his principles. The very first chapter about learning to face the world from the perspective of a curious child was absolutely profound.

Every word within the pages gripped my mind because it struck me as truth.

The author has written this masterpiece as an adventure story through the path of wisdom.
Amusement and powerful lessons to raise your hair is the end result.

After the incredible success of Shiju H. Pallithazheth’s first book Katashi Tales, this takes you on a magical journey to a totally different ambiance that will give all readers goosebumps. It’s a powerful book.

I gained greater confidence to achieve anything I want in life after reading this book.

I commend Author Shiju H Pallithazheth for sharing his invaluable wisdom and knowledge within the contents of this book.

I recommend The Ghost Wisdom to every adult person on earth.

It is a five-star read.

THE GHOST WISDOM will be published before the end of June.

Here are the Interview Questions and answers:

• Where were you born and where do you live now?
Barbara, I was born in Trinidad and I still live there. I have travelled to many Countries all over the world but I love my home in Trinidad.

• Besides writing what is your occupation now? What made you decide to stop being a banker and work in insurance? Why did you leave the insurance field if you are not there anymore?
I am a former Bank Manager. My job was to give loans and overdrafts to business people. I turned many of them into millionaires. I took early retirement from Banking and moved into insurance. I also excelled there. But I fell ill and had to go abroad for a few months for treatment. After I got better I wrote a book about my illness. I am Cancer Free. It was a best seller and it won many awards.

• Do you have any hobbies?
My hobbies are reading and writing. I go to the movies now and then and travel around the island with my nieces and sisters in my spare time.

• Who or what influenced you to begin writing?
As I mentioned earlier, the first book I wrote was, I am Cancer Free. Because of the success of that book, I continued writing.

• You have written 21 books and you keep adding to this number. In what way would you say this has changed your life?
Writing has changed my life because it has taken me in a different direction for which I did not plan.
I used to think Banking was the best occupation, but after leaving banking, a whole new world opened up for me.
I was very successful in Insurance and qualified for the Million Dollar Round Table, the Premier Association for Financial Professionals six times in a row.
I was made a Lifetime member of MDRT.
Since I started writing in 2013, I have won several awards and I still cannot believe that my books were that good.

• Please tell our listeners about a typical day of writing for you.
I do my writing late at night when it is very quiet and I can concentrate on what I am writing about.
There is no set routine.

• I know you have so many books we would need at least ten shows to talk about all of them. Please tell us about your latest one.
I will tell you about Zeeka Chronicles because that book won many awards.
ZEEKA CHRONICLES: REVENGE OF ZEEKA is a science fiction novel that consists of five spine-chilling stories.
It will Take you on a futuristic Journey into the year 2036.
These highly imaginative tales would keep you spellbound.
It is a story of one man's misuse of science for revenge.
Prepare to hold on to your seats as you will encounter zombies, robots using taekwondo skills, and you may have to dodge high tech weapons and shrinkenators.
Handsome doctors like Dr. Raynor Sharpe and Dr. Steven Sharpe along with beautiful Dr. Janet Jones-Sharpe will take care of you at the Gosh hospital.
Intertwined in the first part of this futuristic tale is a romance about Janet and Raynor which will warm your hearts.
The highlight of the story is the life of the protagonist Dr. Steven Sharpe who was kidnapped as a child.
Zeeka Chronicles: Revenge of Zeeka 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 Emagazine Readers' Choice Awards 2018, and winner in the top ten finalists for science fiction in the Author Academy Global Awards 2018,.
Here is an extract from a Readers Favorite Review:
"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.'

• Looking at your bio you have compiled a huge amount of awards. Would you please let our listeners know what they are and why you received them?
In November 2018 I won two awards with Readers Favorite International for two of my books, I AM CANCER FREE in the category Health and Fitness and ZEEKA CHRONICLES in the category Young Adult Thriller.
I travelled to Miami to collect those awards.
I won other awards for some of my other books but those are not as popular as Readers Favorite.
The other awards you see on my Bio are Literature awards that I received from the World Nations Writers Union and Motivational Strips.

• You also have written poetry and you are an administrator for Motivational Strips. How is writing poetry different for you than writing prose? Which do you like better?
I was not a poetry writer before joining Motivational Strips.
I grew to love poetry after I became a member and read the fantastic contributions from other members.

• What are you doing to promote your latest book? Will you be doing any online or in person promotions?
I do all my promotions on Social Media and they have worked well for me.

• What was it like to edit a book like Katashi Tales? As an editor, I understand the problems involved with editing another person’s work. How did the distance and the time affect your working on this book?
I was hesitant at first to take on an editing job.
I had never edited another person’s book before.
I could not refuse a man like Shiju H Pallithazheth.
He is very kind-hearted to all the members in his group and the affiliate groups.
When he approached me I agreed immediately.
The distance and time difference of eight hours did not affect our working on the book.
I always wondered if Shiju slept at all.
He was intent on producing the best book that would be read all over the world, and he succeeded.
I am truly grateful that I had a major role to play in getting that book out to the public.
It was a great deal of fun working with Shiju. He made me laugh a lot.

• Please let our listeners know where they can find your books.
All my books can be found on Amazon. Here is the Amazon Universal link. CLICK HERE.


• Finally, this is a question I ask all of the people here on Tales from the Pages, are you a pantser or a plotter? In other words, do you just write or do you outline before you write?
Barbara, I do an outline, but I never stick to it because my characters start writing their own stories.
Sometimes the whole plot gets thrown out when I write the dialogue, and the story takes a new and exciting turn.
