Synopsis
The Knuckleball From Hell is a story of life, love, the New York Mets...and everything in between. It's the Marx Brothers and Three Stooges meets baseball and the Mets in this highly irreverent and extremely quirky novel. Meet the New York City bus drivers-turned-Mets general managers, the Russian Cossack first baseman, the superhero Donutman, surfer dudes, a Rastafarian quantum physicist, Hare Krishnas, the movie "To Kill a Mockingbird" remade as a feel-good, light-hearted romantic comedy, and much, much more in this wildly hilarious book. It tells the story of a fictional New York Mets team that is horrendous and been driven into the ground by its bankrupt owner, while the protagonist is a high school phenom who only wants to pitch for the Mets. Unfortunately, he blows out his arm and his career is seemingly over, until he has a chance encounter with a Professor on the lam from chicken-wing eating Department of Homeland Security agents, enabling the kid to join the Mets with a new pitch - the Knuckleball From Hell.

About the Author
Michael Wayne's earliest childhood memory is at age three months, sitting on his grandpappy's knee while chewing tobacco and talking about the New York Mets. He doesn't know how to surf, doesn't eat donuts or chicken wings, hopes to be interviewed by the Russian television station Domashny, and has a fastball capable of breaking the sound barrier if thrown in a universe devoid of sound. He is a native New Yorker, except for a brief sojourn in New Jersey from the ages of 0-3. He currently resides 159.5467 miles northwest of Flushing, NY. In his spare time, when he is not obsessing over the Mets and baseball, Michael Wayne speaks in tongues to pigeons, races centipedes, and studies the mating habits of rocks.
