| “It all started out rather innocuously. One day a close, family friend phoned me with a story. She was a prominent contestant on a season of Australian Idol. At first, I wasn’t interested, however as the afternoon unfolded, the story grew and grew. It was entertaining and gripping. I knew then and there it had to be a book.”During the course of his research, Dr. Alaine-Marshall was inundated by other reality-show contestants who were breaking confidentiality agreements to tell him their stories. The sources are known around the world and include some of the most powerful people in the entertainment industry.
“If you look closely you can see the clues I’ve left…”
After Dr. Alaine-Marshall had compiled enough material, Überstar was written in eight-and-a-half months.
“I locked myself in my bedroom that was roughly 10 by 15 feet, turned off my phone and wrote until it was done.”
But, what resulted was well worth the sacrifices. Überstar came to life.
The first ground-breaking novel in a three-part series, Überstar is a backstage pass to the world’s biggest reality shows. Set in a fictitious American Idol show for aspiring actors, Überstar puts you in the shoes of everyone involved. From high-flying Executive Producers to carnivorous publicists; from contestants chasing their big break to judges looking to humiliate them in front of an audience of millions – Überstar is reality-television at its glamorous and devastating best.
Überstar is available for purchase in e-Book and paperback.
