UNTIL WE OPEN IT - Available now in paperback & ebooks!
BLIGHT FALLS, MASSACHUSETTS 1975
Six teachers at Chisholm High School win the lottery. But there’s a catch. The jackpot is a devilishly $66.6 Million, the largest prize in the state’s history, and a cash curse appears to be spreading like a disease among the winners. At its core, UNTIL WE OPEN IT is a tense meditation on the price of freedom, the weight of choices, and the unseen consequences of fortune. It explores themes of morality, greed, and survival under pressure as this mystery unfolds from each teacher’s point of view. Some boxes, once opened, can never be closed again.

"Michaels has a knack for keeping his readers on the edge of their seats. The author's ability to allow the characters to percolate before having outside forces sprung on them is his trademark. You can hear their voices and can feel the tension between them. He leaves his readers - and his characters - floored, helpless, and clawing in the dark for more."
