It’s the end of an intensely hot summer in Vancouver, and Razor’s complex and misunderstood best friend Chris has just driven a stolen police car through a road block and over a cliff to his death.

Fireball takes us back to the start of that relentless summer, and unravels the events leading to Chris’s death as we follow four teenagers through the months that will come to define their future. First hailed as heroes for saving a drowning woman, they attract unwanted attention as minor local celebrities, but this respect is quickly replaced with envy and then harassment. Tyler Keevil, with the assured and confident air of a seasoned author, keeps the pressure building, right up to the final fiery climax.

Tyler Keevil has received several awards for his short fiction, most notably a Writer of the Year Award from Writers Inc. of London. His work has appeared in a variety of magazines and anthologies, including New Welsh Review, Planet, Transmission, Dream Catcher, Black Static, and On Spec, among others. He lectures in Creative Writing at the University of Gloucestershire.
