In 2011, when she published the historical fiction about her Italian-American grandparents, "Gelsomina's Story of Caesar Lucchesi," an author friend encouraged Matson to begin her next story. Years later, she is proud to share the physics fiction coloring activity book Journey into the Land of Hues. A teacher for over 30 years, this book exposes the educator in her. It is a great way to learn about Sir Newton's color theory.

Matson's love for sharing history continued in recording her maternal grandmother's solo journey in 1902 from Italy to the United States. Alone to America (2022) is a timeless tale. The saga of immigration to a new country may resonate with your family's history.

The newest addition to her list of family storytelling deals with aviation. The book Legacy of an Immigrant: Four Generations of Flying (2023) is an easy and fun read while expanding your knowledge of flight. It also relates to the experience of a coming-of-age male dealing with the grief and loss of his grandfather, Caesar Lucchesi.
