My Dawn

Some of us have that special person we are connected to long before we arrive in this world. Some of us have that special person we are connected to long after everyone else has forgotten them. This story is about such a person, my Dawn. The one I will always miss seeing standing on our porch and waiting for me to come back to Sarajevo, to come back home.

The Next Best Seller? Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook

Thirty years after women became 50 percent of the college graduates in the United States, men still hold the vast majority of leadership positions in government and industry. This means that women’s voices are still not heard equally in the decisions that most affect our lives. In Lean In, Sheryl Sandberg examines why women’s progress in achieving leadership roles has stalled, explains the root causes, and offers compelling, commonsense solutions that can empower women to achieve their full potential. 

Sandberg is the chief operating officer of Facebook and is ranked on Fortune’s list of the 50 Most Powerful Women in Business and as one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People in the World. In 2010, she gave an electrifying TEDTalk in which she described how women unintentionally hold themselves back in their careers. Her talk, which became a phenomenon and has been viewed more than two million times, encouraged women to “sit at the table,” seek challenges, take risks, and pursue their goals with gusto.

In Lean In, Sandberg digs deeper into these issues, combining personal anecdotes, hard data, and compelling research to cut through the layers of ambiguity and bias surrounding the lives and choices of working women. She recounts her own decisions, mistakes, and daily struggles to make the right choices for herself, her career, and her family. She provides practical advice on negotiation techniques, mentorship, and building a satisfying career, urging women to set boundaries and to abandon the myth of “having it all.”  She describes specific steps women can take to combine professional achievement with personal fulfillment and demonstrates how men can benefit by supporting women in the workplace and at home. 

Written with both humor and wisdom, Sandberg’s book is an inspiring call to action and a blueprint for individual growth. Lean In is destined to change the conversation from what women can’t do to what they can

Bali Highs - Just Published by Bangkok Books

40 was a dangerous age to meet a bewitching 19 year old Javanese girl on the beach at Bali. Jack Webb was 40 years old; a successful newspaper columnist with a lovely wife eight years younger and two healthy teenage kids. He thought he had everything he wanted. Then Mamik cast her spell over him and his entire existence was turned inside out. Mid life crisis and a tantalising teenager are less than happy bedfellows in a story of sexual sorcery, love, deceit and betrayal. While this story is inspired by a few real facts, incidents and events, all the characters in it apart from some of the beach people are fictitious, including the narrator. They exist entirely in the author’s imagination and none bear any resemblance whatsoever to any real people, either alive or dead or both. Author : Turner, Tom

Despite visiting the girl’s parents’ place many times, he never gets to see where she lives and has suspicions about that. A year into their affaire she becomes pregnant, seemingly for him, but though the dates on the CTC scan are tantalisingly close, they don’t quite seem to match the dates he could have fathered the child. Then, while dozing, nursing her sick two-year old, she gets caught in a drugs raid. A victim of the harsh Thai law that anyone found in the same room as more than 3.9 grams of Class A drug is automatically charged with possession with intent to sell. 5 months pregnant, denied bail, locked up inside the notorious Klong Prem prison facing 2 – 4 years, there is only one way to get her out. That involves the Englishman’s previous Thai girlfriend, now a lance corporal in the Royal Thai Police, and still in love with him.
