After a long career of working in the criminal justice system, Matthew Rowland was inspired to pursue a career as an independent author after COVID-19 first struck. While his book Fireball is set in the 19th century, he says there are also many themes and plot points that still resonate with where we are today in 2022.  

For this week's episode, Anthony spoke with Matthew about the process  behind writing Fireball, the events in his personal & professional life that informed the story of the book, the need for empathy for those whose stories he's heard during his pre-writing career, and more!
