Rubber Match is an imaginative work of fiction by talented author Marcus Cootsona that will have readers chuckling in delight over the author’s uncoventional characters that populate his story with such unabashed glee.
Fifty-nine-year-old tennis teaching pro, Wally Wilson, along with his gorgeous wife, Danielle, and their seventeen-year-old son, Deuce, are heading down Interstate 5 to San Diego, en route to check out all that the University of San Diego has to offer their reluctant son. Unfortunately, young Deuce’s aspirations heavily favor a Vegas magic act over academia, thanks to his uncanny ability to “speak, move and flat palm a waffle iron”. Halfway to their destination, their tired 2003 Honda Odyssey minivan seizes before dying altogether, leaving them stranded along the interstate. As Wally is on hold with the auto club, he receives a phone call from his younger brother, Willy, who convinces the former Grand Slam tennis champion (by transitivity and disqualification) to head on over to the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa to participate in the Crotch Support Super Cup charity event. With the two hundred grand prize money the needed enticement to replace their currently dead mode of transport, Wally excitedly agrees. Once there, however, he’s shocked to learn that it’s not a tennis match he’ll be participating in but a golf tournament – something he’s barely proficient at. Even more shocking is the fact that little bro, Willy, who barely has to nickels to rub together at the best of times, is suddenly flush and not shy about showing it off. Add to this their daughter’s very rich best friend, and a stolen Dutch masterpiece and you’ve got yourself one huckuva good story. Cootsona’s prose is light and engaging and always witty. His cast of unconventional characters add just the right amount of spice to an already interesting story line that will have readers quickly flipping the pages just to find out how it all comes together at the end!
