A Review of the Year 2017

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.
Reviewers said:
1. While the series started with possible abuse of medical technology, the last book leaves us hopeful that technology can one day serve us better than most of us can imagine.
2. Like its predecessors, I found this book easy to read. However, this one, in particular, left me with a sense of fulfillment because the author finally seemed to put Zeeka to rest peacefully.
3. In an entertaining conclusion to the Zeeka series, Resurrection brings the story full circle. If you haven’t read any of the stories in the series, it’s worth starting with book one ‘Revenge of Zeeka’ just to see the author evolve alongside the story and her characters.
4. A fitting Conclusion to the Zeeka Series

Read what Reviewers are saying about Zeeka Chronicles"

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. Brenda Mohammed's writing style is evocative of the future and she handles the science in her fiction brilliantly: reading is believing!
12. I loved Zeeka Chronicles; it has worldwide appeal for anyone looking for an entertaining story that is different.

1. From a dog's POV comes a touching tale of overcoming trauma and finding peace with a family she loved. For dog lovers and for everyone else who can appreciate a thoughtful short story.
2. I am a dog lover and enjoyed this story very much. We often forget that our pets have feelings too and they depend on us so much. A pleasant read that made me smile often!
3. . As animals generally live a shorter life than us as humans, it makes their presence all the more special. I also believe that if one does not have children of their own, or cannot have children for whatever reason, that a dog or a cat, or indeed any pet, can be elevated to a very special and unique status in their lives.
4.
The story is clever and really gives you an insight into what this special dog thought about those around them, as well as their own worries and fears about things and situations they did not understand.
5.
If you are an animal lover, or you appreciate that life is passing every single moment, or you believe that pets are not just pets - something to be discarded when they die, you will take something from this book. I will not say you will enjoy it - it hits home on many points that if you lost a pet recently, it may not be the time to read it. But the important thing to recognise is that this is a story with a heart as big as the dog at its centre, and if that doesn't convince you to read it today, nothing will.

On 1st December I released How to Write for Success: Best Writing Advice I received.
This is what Reviewers are saying:
1. An excellent in-depth guide on how to structure your story!
2. A Comprehensive Guide to Writing and Publishing Your Book. A Must-Have for All Writers!
3. This book not only reveals secrets about how to be successful but it's filled with heart and a work of love.
4. It gives you everything you could want to become an author! Wow. Bravo. I wish it had been around when I started.
5. Essential reading for all aspiring self-published authors.
6. This book offers such valuable information for all of us experienced or not!

I also added one more story- The Caregiver, to Heart-Warming Tales, and changed the book cover.

Heart - Warming Tales consists of six unusual and enjoyable short stories of Comedy, Crime, Love, Infidelity and Unhappy Marriages.
The Caregiver is a romance. Torn between two men who love her, Lena faces a choice.
Whom will she marry and what will be the outcome?
Her Online Predator is a mystery – thriller /romance. It teaches a valuable lesson.
Be careful with whom you make friends on the internet.
That person may not be the one he or she claims to be.
A Marriage on the Rocks is about a young couple who had serious problems in their marriage.
The wife left the marital home to find a more exciting way of life.
Dead Business is about a suspicious woman who doubted her husband.
She was determined to find out the truth about him.
The Psychiatrist and the Thief is a comedy-mystery.
A thief pretends to be a patient of the psychiatrist, and a series of blunders occur.
She Cried for Me is the tale of a stray dog who found a loving home.

A great little collection that will make you think (especially if you are a travel fan like me!)
Format: Paperback
'The Moral of this story is to never give up on your dreams.'
With a title like Stories People Love,, this book already had a lot to live up to. As I read each of the four short stories in turn, the change from fiction to non-fiction made reading this collection all the more pleasurable.
As a bit of a travel fiend myself, the standout story for me is Travel Dreams of Yesterday.
The author writes this so well that you really feel you are journeying along with her.
Is it a spoiler to say each story is a heartwarming one (a reference to one of the author's other works)?
I don't think so.
Each element of the collection's opener, A Headmaster's Daughter, twists and turns and demands that you keep reading.
The Dirtiest of All Evils is intriguing as a murder mystery and seems initially out of place. But reading the stories again, it feels a good fit.
This is a neat and extremely readable collection and shows an author who is able to write fiction and non-fiction elements seamlessly.
It's not an easy combination and yet the author pulls it off admirably.

A collection of stories, poems and an informative article all connected by the common theme of hope

Format: Paperback
In Stories People Love, the author combines several genres in one collection.: a romance story, a murder mystery, a travel chronicle, an advice piece, and some poetry. The work consists of two fictional stories, a narration of a true-life adventure, some thoughts on the advantages of buying insurance, and four poems.

My favorite story of the collection is "The Headmaster's Daughter". It is a beautiful, finely developed tale that deals with the romance of Marie and Paul in the 1950's. After some setbacks in their relationship, they finally marry proving to all that love always triumphs.

"The Dirtiest of All Evils" is shorter but exciting in its own way. Mark almost confesses to a murder he did not commit because he believes he is protecting his brother. The true details of the crime eventually emerge and vindicate Mark.

"Travel Dreams of Yesterday" relates the author's journey, with her friend Sylvia, to New York, Toronto, London, Germany, and Holland. It is a detailed chronicle of their wonderful experiences and safe return home.

Typical of the style of the author, these stories are easy to read and understand. The common thread that unites each piece in this collection is hope. The theme running through each story is that with hope and faith, nothing can ever go wrong. It is a theme that can be found in all of the author's work. I highly recommend this book.

Positive reading
Format: Kindle Edition
This book is brilliantly filled with stories and poems that are easy to read and which also contains valuable life information. They range from fiction to non-fictional stories as well as poems, which are artfully written to provide a positive reading experience.

The book is available at Amazon Universal Link.

Review:
An intriguing start of a promising series.
Format: Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase
This is a story about a mad scientist who got really mad. We do not learn about him and his motives much in this book since it's just the first part of the series. Yet Brenda Mohammed shows us the first consequences of his madness in this clever story about a virus outbreak leading to an emergence of strange zombie-like people. The fast pace and amount of action keeps this story thrilling. At the same time, the author manages to give us a glimpse of the main characters' feelings that do not concern the zombies directly. We can observe a young doctor planning her marriage and her admirer's disappointment. This seems to be a plot within the main plot, and it makes this story more complex, the characters easier to relate to, which is not easy to achieve in such a short story that is packed with action. Yet there is a final twist that reveals to us that personal lives of the main protagonists may be infected by Zeeka's influence more than it seems at first glance.
This book leaves many questions unanswered and makes me look forward to reading the sequels. I can even imagine this book as a good movie.
