Meet local author Mark Zimmerman. Mark is a Kirtland resident and a native of the Cleveland area. He is the morning drive host for Heartfelt Radio at 91.9fm, with studios in Barberton.
Eli – The Phenom’s Story is Mark’s first novel. The cover was designed by his daughter, Anna Zimmerman-Chew a 2005 graduate of Kirtland High School. The 1940s style cartoon illustrations were drawn by Allen Markovic, also a 2005 graduate of KHS.
In 1946 Bill Veeck, owner of the 5th place Cleveland Indians is looking for a 'diamond in the rough' to keep the fans interested while he builds a team. He finds Eli Weaver, a 19-year-old farmer who plays baseball.
Watch what happens when a young man with an 18th century upbringing steps into the 20th century world. Mark will have copies of the book for sale.
