The Button

When Pete and Gary Godfrey stumble upon a skeleton in an ancient burial chamber, their lives are forever altered. They activate a bizarre crystal cube clasped in the skeleton's hand, and once its terrifying power has been awakened, things quickly spiral out of their control. The brothers have put themselves and the entire city of New York in danger, and soon they fall into the crosshairs of an NSA agent driven by a shadowy agenda. The deadly implications of their find could change the course of human history, and they have no choice but to solve the mystery of the cube before it annihilates them all. The first in a two-part work, The Button is a Science Fiction/Thriller that asks if humanity is far older than we've been led to believe. Was our species more advanced in some distant past? Is there a conspiracy to hide a secret history from the public? Perhaps the answers lie in the Godfrey brother's accidental discovery, but they'd better work fast, because the countdown has begun...

I snuck The Tommyknockers by Stephen King out of the library when I was eleven years old. Despite the nightmares, I'd stay up all night reading it, partly because I was discovering that there was pleasure in terror, and partly because I was too scared to go to bed before the sun came up. It took me all summer and some of the fall to finish it, but when I did, I immediately dug up another King book. My love affair with the creepy, bizarre, and thought-provoking had officially begun. I'm the author of Brachman's Underworld, Yorick, and The Button (2014), and I've appeared at Queen City Kamikaze (panelist), New England Authors Expo, Indie Author News, Open Book Society, Yahoo! Shine, Cool Roots (performer), Rooted (performer), Strange Amusements, Digital Journal and at bookstores and libraries all across New England. My background as a newspaper correspondent and freelance writer has earned me dozens of publishing credits for local news articles, and I'm also an active member of the New England Horror Writers as well. I was raised in Groton, Massachusetts and now reside in Lowell, Massachusetts with my wife, Jordana. I received an Associates Degree in Journalism from Middlesex Community College, and after a few years of freelance writing, I decided to go back to school. I'm now a proud member of the National Honor Society at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell, where I'm studying History and English.
