Runaway Bay - Chapter 9
Samson & Dad
Similar to the observation in the supplementary website of the last chapter … there is more to this photo than meets the eye. Its beauty belies the chaos that was Mike’s life during college.
After Mike’s death, Amy was given several boxes of photographs and memorabilia that were in his possession. Searching through them, she found several pictures of women that Mike had kept through his whole life. They were clearly not family members - Amy didn’t know who they were.
While we don’t know the stories behind these pictures, and they could be quite innocent, still it made me think: “Hmmm … I certainly don’t have any pictures and notes from other women hidden away anywhere.”
A couple of words about this website of “bonus material” for Runaway Bay:
Amy didn’t create it … Thomas did. You may have already guessed that the “I” in the captions isn’t Amy, but me - her husband.
( She doesn’t really like websites. Or QR codes for that matter. Or bulleted lists like this one - a dead giveaway that she didn’t write this part. )Therefore I don’t mind making the shameless plug - if you are enjoying her phenomenal book, would you be willing to put a review on Amazon? As Amy’s “publishing partner” the one surprising thing I’ve seen is this: people love her writing, and even volunteer their time to email or text her with their responses … but getting them to post a quick review on Amazon is a whole ‘nother level of hard .

Thank you so much!
