I have permission from Amacom Books to distribute an excerpt from the new book, "NOT MY TURN TO DIE: Memoirs of a Broken Childhood in Bosnia," by Savo Heleta. The author was 13 years old when the siege of his home town of Gorazde, Bosnia, began in 1992.
Ethnically Serbs, the Heleta family was in the difficult position of living in a Muslim city under constant attack by Serbian forces. The book is a nonstop chronicle of terror as the family is locked in a detention center, starved out, burned out, and facing the risk of death on an almost daily basis.
The excerpt I am distributing is called, "Muslims or Serbs: Who Is To Blame?" The excerpt shows how difficult it is to attach blame, as Muslim families come to the aid of the Heleta family and Serb forces threaten their lives. Savo Heleta pins the blame for atrocities in Gorazde, not on the Muslim army, but on the local police chief and mayor who make no attempt to hide their desire to murder every Serb in Gorazde.
The excerpt from NOT MY TURN TO DIE is available at the following URL:
http://www.authorviews.com/authors/heleta.php
If you prefer, I can send it to you as a text file or PDF -- send mailto:[email protected] with the subject line, "Send Heleta" and I'll reply with the attachment.
Thanks for considering this difficult material.

As ghost writer for "Shepherd's Delight- the Ramsbotham Saga" Mark is setting his sights high. Instead of coining snappy titles, our Mark wants eyecatching cover material next. Try  this for size. Then get round to writing a book. |

Well then I should definitely be on the cover, no nudes though as I don't want all the women leaving the UK for the States. |

Well, Hobbs, Mark could accept a bribe not to change the title to "Gay Times " if you're modelling. Or to change it, if that's your bag. |

I can see it now the headlines in the UK, The gays upset he ain't one of them and the girls upset he's married. Related headlines due to demand airfare to Houston has now doubled and Hobbs in hiding as too many women chasing him around town. |
