NY POST PUTS DEBUT NOVEL ON RECOMMENDED READING LIST

    /24-7PressRelease/ - September 13, 2007 - Award-winning NY Post columnist and author Mike Vaccaro, in a column dated Sept. 2, 2007, mentioned two books that he highly recommended to readers. One of them, "The Knuckleball From Hell," is a debut novel by author Michael Wayne. Vaccaro called "The Knuckleball From Hell," a "funny, sweet novel," comments that delighted author Michael Wayne. "To have a highly respected and regarded columnist and author of an array of outstanding books write favorably about my novel was extremely complimentary," Wayne said. "I'm sure he gets sent many books by authors and publishers, so for him to choose to mention my novel is very gratifying."

"The Knuckleball From Hell," which has been garnering excellent reviews, was released on June 15, 2007. One reviewer said, "If Tom Robbins and Kurt Vonnegut teamed up to write a novel, this would be it." Another reviewer, in the upcoming issue of Zisk Magazine wrote, "Wayne has concocted one doozy of a story that at times had me thinking of the late Kurt Vonnegut." Paris Hilton even called it, "The funniest book I have ever read."

"The Knuckleball From Hell" is an offbeat and irreverent comedy centering around baseball, and features a roster of eccentric characters, including two bus drivers who become general managers of the New York Mets, a Russian Cossack first baseman, the superhero Donutman, surfer dudes, a Rastafarian quantum physicist, Hare Krishnas, and two chicken-wing eating Department of Homeland Security special agents.
