Three on a Match is a collection of tales ranging from funny to touching, from thought provoking to outrageous, and heart-warming to heart-wrenching. They share one common trait: each examines relationships from a unique, sometimes quirky, angle. Some are laugh-out-loud hilarious, some twist and turn and then end up just the way you thought they would. Others deliver an I didn't see THAT coming! conclusion. Nothing is exempt from scrutiny. Some highlights: In A Very Special Bird, a young child obtains a coveted pet parakeet in a daring ethically-challenged maneuver-then must face his mother, eye-to-eye. In Twins, two unrelated strangers meet in an airport and discover they have identical birthdays. One is an unemployed newlywed, the other is a radiantly beautiful actress. They have nothing in common but time to kill before their flight. What starts out as an innocent hookup gets serious with the speed of a jetliner taking off. In Blue Belle, we meet a hardworking rural man of limited means, who can't resist a bargain on a used luxury car. Soon, it becomes more than just transportation...but cars don't last forever... The protagonist of No Good Deed finds a large, injured seabird on a Florida roadway, and makes choices that he immediately regrets, and can't undo. He quickly plunges into a one-sided relationship he must ride out until the end, for good or bad. Three on a Match tells the story of a middle-aged man, with a predictable marriage and a life-sapping everyday existence, who forms an unlikely alliance with two homeless men, who sleep in a tent, hunt, fish, drink beer and fire automatic weapons for kicks. An evening of beer and camaraderie produces some life-changing decisions. This is a quick, easy read which will leave you smiling, thinking, and hungry for more. Gino Bardi is the author of three-time award-winning The Cow in the Doorway and he claims that all of this actually happened, but no one believes him!
