About the Author

Bull Marquette is the penname for a Texas native who began his writing career as an ad and book jacket writer for Word Books, a religious book publisher, where he was privileged to interview notables like Jeb Magruder - a refugee from President Nixon's Watergate scandal, and 1960s civil rights activist Eldridge Cleaver, as well as authors who had come back from the dead. Bull has also worked as an ad agency copywriter, convenience store clerk, high school teacher, construction worker, TV weatherman, radio announcer, apprentice cook under a world-class chef, waiter, bread delivery man, speech writer for a state legislator, branch manager for a national stock brokerage firm and financial advisor. Bull moved to California in 1982 to study parapsychology in the unique masters program at JFK University. He served as business editor of THE FRESNO WEEKLY newspaper for two years, where he also wrote a humorous editorial column and articles on world events, including "psychics who work with police departments" and the events after 9/11. Bull co-hosted the nationally syndicated WEBMASTER RADIO SHOW, an interview show that featured the giants of the high tech world, from February 2000 to November 2001. He is currently a financial advisor, a columnist for THE FRESNO BEE, and a sometimes announcer for KVPR, national public radio in Fresno. A paranormal and "alternate history" buff, Bull is marketing his debut novel, THE FIFTH PLANE, an exciting story of terrorism in America that starts the day after 9/11. He has written several more novels and a number of short stories.
