Book excerpt: "Beastly Bus Tales" is Jim Marquez's 13th self-published book in 7 years! The premise to this one is simple: 'Jack Morales', our stumbling writer of extreme minor celebrity from Jim's novel "Pieces of L.A.," has just one lousy wish: to get home after a raucous night of the white man's whiskey. For this Jack takes the bus. And, there, kids, is the rub!For after the witching hour in the City of Angels many beasts go bump in the night, and we discover that Jack is not alone. Here then are Jack's BEASTLY TALES; boots on the ground, pushing his way through the walls of madness and indignation, the wretched adrift, the drunken, the dealers, the addicts, the prostitutes, their pimps, the amateurs, the cops, the artists, the rats, (oh christ, the rats!), and the English teachers, molesters of the night all of them! Shameful, despicable gluttony; slithering its way into the second decade of the 21st century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Watching The Skies & Other Beastly Tales" is Jim Marquez's 14th self-published book in 8 years! A departure of sorts for Jim as he leaves the grimy confines of Downtown Los Angeles and takes us on a surreal journey across the alien landscape of a forbidden Nevada desert (through the eyes of a 'young Jack Morales'), tumbles alongside the inebriated canals of Amsterdam, looks for love in all the wrong places in Scotland, and has to run for his life in London! This collection of 'Beastly' tales of life on the rocks then returns to the warped sensibility of L.A. for a wicked homage to Nathaniel West's "Day of the Locust" (illustrated by artist Emmeric Konrad), and finally comes to a crushing halt in Jim's hometown of East L.A. In between, for how could he resist (?), Jim examines the base nature of man back on the wee-hours-streets of a changed & vanishing Downtown arts scene: Booze. Sex. Racism. Violence. Madness. Family fun for all!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Jim Marquez, the acclaimed author of such whiskey-fueled contemporary classics as "Beastly Bus Tales", "Watching the Skies & Other Beastly Tales," and Jim's schizophrenic-murder-mystery "Pieces of L.A.", comes his long-awaited 15th self-published book "A Moveable Beast: Tales from L.A. & Beyond". As in Jim's previous titles the reader is assaulted with lurid and outlandish tales of sticky sex, cheap booze, cheaper dames, uncomfortable truths in race relations, violence, the homeless epidemic, bars, death, broken relationships, bad sex, no sex, and, in general, the corruption of the mind, body, and soul. Follow Jim across the rat infested, alcohol drenched, sad, pitiful, lost, and lonely streets of not only Jim's hometown of East Los Angeles and his adoptive backyards of Downtown LA and Koreatown, but, also Las Vegas, Paris, Berlin, Milan, Ireland, and South Korea. Devilishly written in Jim's infamous-no-holds-barred-over-the-top-foul-mouthed-and-train-wreck-first-person narrative.

Compelling, engaging, surprising, humorous and entertaining. if this book proves one thing it's that travel with animals is every bit as unpredictable as you would expect it to be.

Join the League. . . . Anastasia is a completely average almost-eleven-year-old. That is, UNTIL her parents die in a tragic vacuum-cleaner accident. UNTIL she’s rescued by two long-lost great-aunties. And UNTIL she’s taken to their delightful and, er, “authentic” Victorian home, St. Agony’s Asylum for the Criminally Insane. But something strange is going on at the asylum. Anastasia soon begins to suspect that her aunties are not who they say they are. So when she meets Ollie and Quentin, two mysterious brothers, the three join together to plot their great escape! "Marvelously inventive and utterly demented, THE LEAGUE OF BEASTLY DREADFULS is nasty good fun from beginning to end!" -- Bruce Coville, My Teacher is an Alien "WONDERFULLY WITTY.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1889 baseball season is unique in the history of baseball. Both leagues--the veteran National League and the upstart American Association--featured thrilling pennant races that were not decided until the final day of the season. There was excitement off the field as well; the players' union (known then as "the Brotherhood") sowed the seeds of the most ambitious player revolt in baseball history. This work presents accounts from the major newspapers of each of the four teams' cities--the New York Times, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, the Boston Herald, and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch--to capture the day-by-day excitement of the 1889 pennant race and the passion that the press and public had for baseball. The National League race pitted the world champion New York Giants against the Boston Beaneaters--teams that accounted for 10 Hall of Famers and three players that spearheaded the player revolt. The American Association race was just as exciting and even more controversial, as team presidents Chris Von der Ahe of the St. Louis Browns and Charles H. Byrne of the Brooklyn Bridegrooms hated each other passionately and Von der Ahe often clashed with his own players.

Book excerpt: What does it take to turn a bully into a hero? Empathy and the power of forgiveness take center stage in this poignant novel by the award-winning author of The Boy at the Back of the Class. Getting in trouble is what Hector does best. He knows that not much is expected of him. In fact, he gets some of his most brilliant prank ideas while sitting in detention. But how far is too far? When Hector plays a prank on a homeless man and is seen and shamed by a schoolmate, he reaches a turning point. He wants to be viewed differently and decides to do something that will change his fate for the better. But will anyone take him seriously? This moving story told with humor and heart presents readers with some recognizable characters, like a bully and a teacher’s pet, and introduces them to some they may not be so familiar with— like those who are homeless, who live on the street, and whose stories are equally meaningful and important. Readers will feel motivated to see the best in others and hopeful that bad things can be overcome with effort.
