We all feel appreciated when someone recognizes our worth, and it is no different with writers. Readers and fans commend me every day and I have won several awards. It heartens me and encourages me to write more to please my readers, and that is why I have written twenty-four books in six years.
My father was a school principal and he had a huge library of books. In that library, he had a huge section for children's books, and I must have read every one.
However, I had no desire to become a writer. English and Mathematics were my strong points and I wanted to work in a bank, which I did.
I received several promotions and when I was transferred to the loans and overdraft department I helped my superiors write Financial proposals for customers to our Head Office.
Many times we received clean sanctions, ie no questions were asked and the proposals were approved. My superiors at both the branch and Head office recognized my ability and promoted me to managerial status.
I was then required to visit my customers' businesses and submit written proposals for required finance.
Customers, staff, and Head Office all benefited, as the village where the branch to which I was assigned developed rapidly.
The once insignificant village turned into a bustling town.
The bank's profits increased and I was promoted to a bigger branch.
I kept on getting more promotions until I took early retirement and moved into the Insurance field.
However, I was struck by cancer and almost died.
I sought medical treatment in Miami, and after being laid up for more than seven months, I miraculously recovered.
I wrote the book, I AM CANCER FREE to tell people in similar positions that cancer does not have to be a death sentence.
The book became a best seller and won two awards. I was then encouraged to continue writing and wrote twenty-four books to date.
Yes, I read all my book reviews. I thank the readers for the good ones and I must say that I appreciate the bad ones too, but I ignore them.
The reason being, that other readers become curious as to why the book got a bad review and they buy it, read it, find otherwise, and give it a good review.
A wise man once told me that there are no perfect writers and no perfect readers, and I certainly agree with him.
Winner of four International awards, here is the latest Review by an Australian Reviewer:
“A reviewer said: "An entertaining read filled with suspense. A science-fiction story with lingering themes on human flaws and goodness.
As a teacher/student this would make a great comparative study to Frankenstein or Shakespeare's plays, with love, lies, and revenge as persistent human traits. Set in 2036 the unnerving accuracy of being in an era where we encounter robots as part of our daily lives takes the reader on a journey through time where human values, some negative and some are imperative to the improvement of the human condition.
If you're not a zombie fan, this book will draw you --destined to shock and delight."
My dream goal is to have my science fiction novel ZEEKA CHRONICLES made into a movie. I wrote all about that in my blog post at this link. https://brenchristo.blogspot.com/2019/11/what-is-that-dream-goal-that-you-want.html

I understand that fully and that is why I wrote the book, HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS. THIS WILL BE AN IDEAL CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR THAT NEW AND ASPIRING WRITER.

Read the latest five-star review from a young University Student.
"Learning from others depends on people’s capacity to combine their personal and other’s experiences. In order to try and do that with success, individuals ought to abstract from single experiences (that they themselves or others have had) and acknowledge those options that completely different things have in common.
An established educational technique to foster these abstraction and integration processes is to use patterns. These patterns assist the internalization of others' experiences and the application to new situations. HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS by the Honourable Author Ms. Brenda Mohammed is a set of such unique patterns that highlight invariant components and structural features of situations and problems encountered while writing a book.
The book is an ultimate guide for how to build characters, writing narratives and dialogues, building the story world, choosing a book cover and the title, creating different categories, things one should know before and after publishing their books, tips on how to sell yourself as an author—“the book marketing†and lastly how to get sales and reviews.
Author Brenda Mohammed is an enthusiastic and solid writer. She is sincere, resourceful and diligent in her work. Her writing reflects the amount of research on several events that have gone into it along with her knowledge and expertise in the field. I would, therefore, like to take this opportunity to congratulate her on this phenomenal work and wish her all the best for her future endeavours.
Yes, I have many tips for aspiring writers. I wrote a book especially for them. When I wrote the book How to Write for Success: Best Writing Advice I Received, I did not realise that it would become a popular guide for new and aspiring authors.
I was thrilled when it received a five-star review and five-star seal from Readers Favorite International one month after publication in December 2017
In August 2019 it won the gold award in the category Non-Fiction in Connections EMagazine Readers’ Choice Awards 2019.
The book was my inspiration for founding the Facebook group, HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS, with 5300 plus members.
It is very popular amongst university students and new and aspiring authors who have written fantastic reviews about it.
Here is the latest review from a University student in London.
