Review

Reviewed by Alice DiNizo for Readers’ Favorite

“Remember Me” is a thought-provoking novel about a dark time in recent history. 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.
“Sjeti Me Se”, Johnny’s last words to Selma, is a novel that should be widely read and remembered. Unforgettable!

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.

My take on A Dangerous Element

Five stars from me!

After reading The People in Between: A Cyprus Odyssey, I could not wait for A Dangerous Element to come out. In the mean time, I interviewed Mr. Lamb, a retired military officer, for my blog. Click here to read the interview.

First of all, let me tell you, Mr. Lamb’s ability to describe places he’s been to is uncanny. The settings for his novels are inspired by the places where he lived and worked while serving in the armed forces of the United Stares. The way he described Cyprus in The People in Between is unbelievable. It truly took me away on an adventure to a country I’ve never been to and will probably never see.

A Dangerous Element is just as good, if not better. If you’re into military action and conspiracies, then this book is definitely for you.

Haunting from the Past
Sequel to Remember Me
by Sanela Ramic Jurich

As Selma tries to move on and recover from the horrible experience she had went through while living in Bosnia in 1992–where she and her parents had found themselves targets of the Bosnian war and where Selma had lost nearly all those she loved, was abused by those whom she once trusted, and had witnessed prejudice at its ugliest–the hell from which, she thought, she had finally escaped, found her in America and started haunting her again, reminding her that there was unfinished business someplace else.

Selma is a respected business woman, living in Chicago with the love of her life and their son. From the outside, it looks as if she finally has it all; career and family many people could only wish for. She thinks she is the luckiest person on the planet who had survived and escaped hell. One day she receives a phone call that forces her to go back to the place she had left behind almost two decades before. She had promised never to go back there, but now, she finds herself in a desperate situation from which there is no way out. She goes back to face her demons once again.

Will this trip finally, push Selma over the edge and be the end of her? Who knows, it might even help her get some kind of conclusion. Follow Selma’s journey back to the past through despair, hatred, love, hope, and peace in author Sanela Jurich’s Haunting from the Past.

Light at the end of the tunnel

Haunting from the Past high qualityWe are nearing the end of production of my new book, Haunting from the Past  and moving on to Marketing. Even though it was a very long process, it is well worth the wait.

This story is told from Selma’s point of view as was Remember Me. Even though it’s been five years since Selma’s “happily ever after”, she is still broken and needs healing, but the only way to start the healing process is to go back to the place she had left behind two decades before, to come to terms with her past and face her demons head on.

I can honestly say that the best thing about me becoming an author is meeting other authors. There is nothing better than having a conversation with someone who has a lot of the same interests as you. I love spending time with people who are filled with stories and are willing to share. Here is a pretty long interview I had with Mr. Gregory S. Lamb. I was supposed to go through it, edit and cut it in half, but I just didn’t have the heart to take anything out.

Mr. Lamb is a very interesting person who has traveled the world. He has seen so many interesting, beautiful things and places and I envy him for it. What I find absolutely fascinating about him is that he is so humble and so down to earth. After speaking with him, I can honestly say that when I grow up, I want to be just like Mr. Lamb, haha!

Victoria’s Amazon Link

I had such a great time talking with Victoria Riley today. She is the author of Babs, a biography Victoria wrote in honor of her Native American mother. It is truly an amazing story that talks about some burdensome times of poverty and racism. Ms. Riley, not only talks about her mother’s hard life in this book, she also talks about her mother’s great love for her family and God. In addition, she mentions some painful facts from our history that are, at times, hard to swallow.
