Today marks seven years since the release of my first novel, Remember Me (Sjeti me se). It was the proudest day of my life; I wrote a book about the hardest time of my existence; time that I would rather forget, but I dug deep, found the courage, and put it all on paper. Now I know that as long as my books are out there–and books are forever–what happened in Prijedor back in 1992, is not going to be forgotten and to me, that fact, is the biggest accomplishment of my life. I did not forget!
All the characters in my book are fictional, but every single one of them was inspired by someone I knew and loved who didn’t make it out. I wanted to bring them back to life and so, I wrote a book about them.
My book, Remeber Me (Sjeti me se) can be purchased in both English and Bosnian anywhere books are sold.
Sneak Peak
Chapter Six
…. I was speechless at first, a little flustered by the sudden closeness … and then we both started laughing. I laughed between gulps of air until the sides of my cheeks ached. I looked at Johnny who was also laughing and glancing at me. Our gazes met and our laughter stilled. Continue reading

Editorial Reviews
Review
“Unforgettable!” -Five out of five stars -Reviewed by Alice D. for Readers Favorite
`
“Remember Me” is a thought-provoking novel about a dark time in recent history when “ethnic cleansing” was carried out by psychotic mass murderer Milosevic. The characters of Selma, her parents, grandparents, neighbors and friends who lost a lovely way of life are well-created and believable. The reader will agonize over the way innocent people were killed, their homes destroyed, their surviving families get grief-stricken but somehow carry on. That Selma survives and goes on to regain her life is a tribute in novel form to a people who survived against all odds. “Sjeti Me Se”, Johnny’s last words to Selma, is a novel that should be widely read and remembered. Unforgettable!”
From the Author
When I was fifteen years old, my whole life changed in a blink of an eye. The world I saw through my fifteen-year-old eyes was not innocent and pretty. It was filled with death, sadness, and hatred.
