From Banker to Author – Who would have imagined that a harrowing diagnosis of cancer could change your career and open up a whole new world?

Author Brenda Mohammed did not choose writing as her career. It happened by chance. She was a successful bank manager who moved into Insurance after leaving the bank. She excelled there as well.

She qualified for the Million Dollar Round Table, the Premier Association for Financial Professionals, [MDRT] six times in a row.

Her writing journey began after her bout with cancer which almost killed her. Miraculously, she survived after flying to Miami for treatment.

She wrote the book I AM CANCER FREE eight years after her near-death experience, and it became a best seller. The book won an award in Readers Favorite International in 2018 in the category of Health and Fitness.

Thereafter, she continued writing and has published 53 books in multi-genres to date.

Her superb writing skills won her several literary awards in the USA, Peru, Kazakhstan, Seychelles, Nigeria, India, Romania, Argentina, Ukraine, Morocco, Philippines, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Barcelona, France, Switzerland, Italy, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and the UK.

Her genres include memoirs, science fiction, romance, self-help, mystery, children’s books, psychological thrillers, Christian books, poetry, and poetry anthologies.

She made headlines in several newspapers around the world.

Many of her books received five-star reviews from Readers Favorite International, and many attained the No 1 bestseller ranking.

In November 2018 she won two awards from Readers Favorite International for her science fiction book, ‘Zeeka Chronicles’ in the category Young Adult Thriller, and her Memoir, ‘I am Cancer Free’ in the category Health and Fitness.

Three of her books won gold awards in Connection EMagazine Readers’ Choice Awards - Zeeka Chronicles, [2019] Stories People love, [2020] and How to Write for Success [2020]

In Sept 2021 her mystery book, Barry Holmes Mysteries, won her BEST WRITER - FANTASY Award in the CLR [ Culture, Literature, and Research] Awards.
