Bonus Materials

Sand and BonesAs always, something winds up on the cutting room floor.  You’ve written too much. Not everything fits. Solution? Take the next exit and turn around.  But you’ve written it already, so you might as well share it, right?

Bones on this page are not the one syllable “Bones,” like the TV show, but the phonetic two-syllable BON-es (bonus). Plus on the image here, the text looks much cooler than “Sand and Bonus.” That would just look stupid.  I should put some bones on this image. Or not. For now, the bones are buried in the sand.  Just like if you read the book from cover to cover, but never found this website.  The bones here would be “buried” for all intents and purposes.

Anyway, here are a couple of elements that didn’t make the final cut.  You may find them interesting or not. Haven’t read the book yet? No problem. Check it out here. 

OK, you’re back. Now the bonus elements may make more sense. Enjoy.
