CELEBRATING WORLD CHILDREN'S DAY

 

CELEBRATING WORLD CHILDREN'S DAY

World Children’s Day was first established in 1954 as Universal Children's Day and is celebrated on 20 November each year to promote international togetherness, and awareness among children worldwide, and to improve children's welfare.

November 20th is an important date as it is the date in 1959 when the UN General Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child. It is also the date in 1989 when the UN General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Since 1990, World Children's Day also marks the anniversary of the date that the UN General Assembly adopted both the Declaration and the Convention on Children's Rights.

Mothers and fathers, teachers, nurses and doctors, government leaders and civil society activists, religious and community elders, corporate moguls and media professionals, as well as young people and children themselves, can play an important part in making World Children's Day relevant for their societies, communities, and nations.

World Children's Day offers each of us an inspirational entry point to advocate, promote and celebrate children's rights, translating into dialogues and actions that will build a better world for children.

On Universal Children's Day, I share three books I have written for children.

The Child Poet: A Poetic Galaxy for Children.

A USEFUL TOOL FOR PARENTS AND CHILDREN.
THE CHILD POET: A POETIC GALAXY FOR CHILDREN written by multi-award-winning author BRENDA MOHAMMED, is the kind of book that any parent would treasure to help offspring become creative.
The poet creates no borders to capture the panoramic potential of a child's vision.
When you look at the title, the book speaks for itself,
There are beautiful illustrations inside.
The author has written poems about nature, the galaxy, books, and family life in simplified forms so that children can capture the meanings easily.
This is an ideal gift book that could derive productive results for nurturing children.

ADVENTURES OF SQUEAKY DOO.

A Reviewer said: "As seen through the wide-open eyes of an adorable teddy bear, these stories are of Squeaky Doo’s adventures on the beach, in California, in Orlando, on a Royal Caribbean cruise, and on the sunny island of Trinidad.
This teddy bear loves to travel with the family and the grandparents.
An extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins, and their friends join in the fun-filled activities and celebrations.
A common theme is Squeaky Doo getting lost or left behind –on the beach, at the wedding, at a store in the mall, on the cruise ship, or getting snatched by a thief.
Not to worry though…as Squeaky Doo somehow gets to go on yet another adventure."

AN ELECTRIFYING SERIES DRIPPING WITH SUSPENSE AND ISLAND FLAVOUR

 

A TALE THAT DANCES ON THE EDGE OF SCIENCE FICTION MYSTERY AND ISLAND INTRIGUE

Zeeka Chronicles: Revenge of Zeeka is a tale that dances on the edge of science fiction, mystery, and island intrigue. This electrifying series is tantalizing and dripping with suspense and island flavour.

A nightmare unfolds on the sun-kissed shores of Gosh Island, where palm trees sway and steel drums echo. Dr. Steven Sharpe, a brilliant scientist, stands accused of the heinous crime of using his ground-breaking research to create an army of 51 programmable zombies to unleash chaos upon unsuspecting Carnival revellers.

Dr. George Brown was warned that this would happen by a strange person who visited him at the Gosh hospital and called himself Number Nine, but only his false head was found on the stage and it was assumed he was dead.

Detective Jack Wildy has dealt with smugglers, con artists, and the occasional rogue but nothing prepares him for the horror that washes ashore when the zombies strike. Nevertheless, he and his assistant Detective Jerry Cole are determined to unravel the twisted secrets of the vengeful Zeeka.

As the body count rises, Wildy races against time. Detective Jerry Cole, Jack’s partner is as sharp as a barracuda’s tooth, but even he has difficulty to fathom what twisted mind is behind the mayhem.

Zeeka is the elusive puppet master. A name whispered in shadows, a figure who flits between the digital and the human. Zeeka’s grudge runs deep, fuelled by secrets buried in the island’s volcanic soil, but his real name is not known.

Wildy uncovers a web of betrayal, lost love, and scientific hubris. Dr. Steven Sharpe who was kidnapped years ago, holds the key and Wildy must unravel the truth before Zeeka’s revenge consumes them all.

In a race against both time and the tides, Wildy confronts Zeeka who was captured by a beautiful robot after he abandons his flesh-eating zombies. He confesses to the crimes and Dr. Steven Sharpe is no longer a suspect. The police must destroy the zombies before the tropical paradise becomes a graveyard and its sandy beaches are stained with blood.

Zeeka commits suicide in prison.

The island’s heartbeat quickens with a rhythm of fear and hope.

Zeeka appears as a ghost to Steven Sharpe and begs for forgiveness for kidnapping him as a child. He refuses but forgives him after Zeeka saves him and his wife Mandy from dangerous criminals. Zeeka leaves the world in peace.

Number Nine is alive. Mandy's robot helper, Eve, encounters him in the backyard. He collapses in the backyard with an epileptic fit, and Eve alerts the Gosh hospital. Tests and records confirm he is Number Nine, he is not a zombie and is the biological son of Bill Grady – Master Zeeka. He was misdiagnosed with microcephaly at birth. Dr. Raynor Sharpe helps Number Nine choose Nieman Grady as his legal name, and Steven cures him of his brain ailment, Craniosynostosis, with his new invention CrainX.  Steven is the new hero in Gosh as his miracle cures and inventions replace Carnival Tourism with Medical Tourism, and the island regains prominence on the world map.     

If you’re ready to dive into the pages of Zeeka Chronicles: Revenge of Zeeka, grab your sunscreen, and a flashlight for those late-night reading sessions and prepare for a wild ride.

JOIN THE CAMPAIGN TO SAVE GOD'S EARTH

 

My Dear Readers,

Every year on my Birthday on the 1^st. December, I publish a new book.

This year I will be publishing a poetry book SAVE GOD'S EARTH.

Issues of Climate Change, Peace, Love, and Humanity, have been tugging at my heart, and this book contains issues about these pressing matters.

I will need about 100 of my faithful readers to join me in a campaign to get the messages on these subjects throughout the world.

The book is on Preorder and all you have to do is ask me for a copy of the draft book in the comments and write a review on Amazon. It will cost you nothing.

I have published 62 books and this is the first time that I am asking this of you because we urgently need to save God’s Earth.

HERE IS THE BLURB AND THE PREORDER LINK

The poems in SAVE GOD’S EARTH by Author Brenda Mohammed open our eyes to stark reality.

The Earth does not belong to us. It belongs to God and we are only the tenants. Our purpose and duty to our Creator is to take care of what he has blessed us with.

Through the Earth, God provides us with fresh water, food, and oxygen.

Humans, animals, and other species depend on these necessities to live. Our forests, rivers, oceans, and soils provide us with numerous goods and services.

One of the biggest environmental challenges right now is Climate Change and its effects on human and animal life. The current warming trend is particularly significant because most of it is very likely due to human activities.

Air, Water, and plastic pollution are growing exponentially, and it is time for every individual to play a part in reducing the catastrophic impact of these activities.

Military activities are harmful to the social environment and produce extensive amounts of greenhouse gases that contribute to anthropogenic climate change and pollution. We must start peace campaigns.

A first step to peace is embracing love and humanity and this book covers every issue.

‘Save God’s Earth’ will be an asset in your library for many generations.

I thank you in advance for joining this worthy cause.

A CINEMATIC ADVENTURE

My first attempt to venture into cinematic stories seemed hopeful.

I entered the contest with cinebooks.com and won more than the 1000 votes required to make the first series in my five-series sci-fi thriller Zeeka Chronicles into a Cinebook.

Things were going fine until it was time to sign the contract. I was told that because Trinidad and Tobago was not a member of the European Union they could not proceed.

I heard nothing further from them, but my book is still listed as one of their projects and I asked for it to be removed.

In August 2022, I decided to get a screenplay written for my five-series sci-fi thriller. I arranged with a screenwriter from Stage 32, but he got into an accident and could not do it. I then asked the daughter of a close friend but she got a new job and could not find the time. I did a crash course and wrote the screenplay myself.

I submitted pitches for both the pilot and series.

Here are both the positive and negative responses.

POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE FEEDBACK FOR PITCHES FOR SCI-FI THRILLER – SEPT. 2024

 

ZEEKA AND THE ZOMBIES – SERIES ONE - PILOT PITCH

CATALINA RAMIREZ;

POSITIVE: I like how the story keeps you interested and makes you want to keep reading it. I also like how you combine futuristic technology with elements of zombie horror.

NEGATIVE:  clarity is required with high-tech settings and Zeeka’s motivation.

 

JODIE PLATT

POSITIVE: Hi, thank you for sharing this pitch with me. I like that the theme is good triumphing over evil after an event that happened 20 years before. The setting in South America, with the backdrop of Carnival, could make this visually attractive. It is also interesting that this is based on reality with the Zika virus as the inciting incident.

NEGATIVE: Clarity is required with set- up of the series and clarity with Steven Sharpe and Grady.

 

JONNY GUTMAN

 ZEEKA CHRONICLES – Five-series sci-fi thriller

 POSITIVE: This was definitely one of the most unique pitches I've ever read! I love that the inspiration came from a real-life crisis and that Brenda has taken it in such an imaginative direction.  Like I said, this was one of the most imaginative pitches I've ever seen, but I think it's a little too ambitious for me! I wish Brenda good luck with it though because I think it would make an incredibly entertaining series!"

NEGATIVE: Too ambitious. Unclear as to how Janet and Mandy relate to the rest of the story or what were their motivations.

I am re-writing and not giving up.

Here is the blurb for the book:

 GOOD TRIUMPHS OVER EVIL

When 51 programmable zombies unleash chaos and death on spectators at a Carnival event on the tourist haven of Gosh Island, local police, detectives, and a man kidnapped as a boy by their Master, must hunt down Master Zeeka before he kills again.
The fictional series is set in 2036 on an imaginary island, off the coast of South America, well-known for fabulous beaches, resorts, and annual Carnival celebrations.
This science-fiction thriller with lingering themes of human flaws, evil, and good, is purely the author's imagination, inspired by the zika virus in 2016.
Reviewers have compared this futuristic sci-fi thriller five-book series to Frankenstein, Twilight Zone, and Shakespeare’s plays, and some have said it is movie material.
Zombies and robots take center stage.
The mind-blowing episodes begin in Zeeka and the Zombies Series 1 and continue in Zeeka’s Child Series 2, Zeeka Returns Series 3, Zeeka’s Ghost Series 4, and Resurrection Series 5.
The excitement builds with each series as the detectives unearth more clues, and the author succeeds in pulling the various strands together to offer a breath-taking conclusion, where good triumphs over evil.
This futuristic thriller was an award winner in the Category -Young Adult Thriller in Reader's 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.
The International Chamber of Writers and Artists in Spain gave the book an award in April 2023, on the occasion of World Book Day.
Reader's Favorite International gave it a five-star review.
Here is an extract of that review::
"Zeeka Chronicles is a thoughtful series and would delight fans of the genre.
Brenda Mohammed is an author brimming with original ideas, and definitely an author to follow."
