About The Author
Tim Button started writing as a kid when he and his grandmother would write letters in poem form and send them back and forth. Today he spends his days advising businesses about technology. He loves sports of all kinds and has coached almost every kid's sport except for Lacrosse. He is known for joking around--often using different voices, which is not surprising because he's also worked as a voice-over artist. Tim lives in Moorestown, NJ, with his wife, three no-longer-wiggly children, and two dogs.
