New book gives an insider’s look into the American Idol franchise
May 11, 2010 — (Orlando, FL) — Author and Reality TV Expert Dr. Vaughn Alaine-Marshall releases Überstar—the explosive novel based upon stories as told by contestants, producers and insiders from the world’s biggest reality television shows. The first installment of a trilogy follows participants, judges and the production crew in a fictitious ‘Idol’ reality show for aspiring actors.
Intrigued by phenomenon of reality television, Dr. Alaine-Marshall immersed himself in all things Überstar. He talked to former contestants, producers and insiders of numerous reality shows, including the hit television series American Idol and X-Factor. Many people broke confidentiality agreements to tell their stories. Dr. Alaine-Marshall wrote Überstar to give the public an explicit look at the world’s most watched shows.
Dr. Alaine-Marshall states, “The main objective is to highlight that reality shows have an even more compelling story behind the camera. There is much more happening [when the cameras are off] than the viewer imagines.”
In his research, Dr. Alaine-Marshall came across amazing stories about what goes on behind the scenes of our most loved shows.“The stories range from high-profiled drug overdoses kept under wraps to judges having affairs – along with all the unbelievable encounters contestants have during their time in the spotlight,” said Dr. Alaine-Marshall in a press interview.
Überstar takes the reader behind the scenes of a reality show for aspiring actors, all competing for a starring role in a Hollywood production. The other two installments (Überstar II: The Movie and Überstar III) of the trilogy will follow the declared winner in Überstar, while part three will be set on a Survivor-style island.
To read more about the book, the author and latest news about Überstar, please visit the new Überstar website at http://www.uberstarthebook.com.
Überstar is now available in paperback at Amazon.com and eBook at the Hendlin Books Online Bookstore at http://www.hendlinbooks.com/store.
About the author: Dr. Vaughn Alaine-Marshall is the author of the ground-breaking reality-television novel Überstar. Born in Sydney, Australia, Vaughn is a Doctor of Chiropractic. He put a career in private practice on hold after four-and-a-half days to write this book. Vaughn’s debut novel, Überstar, is a funny and explosive exploration of reality-television as told by insider sources from the world’s biggest reality shows. Überstar is available on Amazon and http://www.hendlinbooks.com/store.
