The author of the series is Marcus Chapman; a music historian and on-air personality known as "MC Marcus Chapman" who worked at WGCI-FM in Chicago, KKDA-FM in Dallas, WTLC-FM in Indianapolis, and was heard on WVEE-FM in Atlanta.

It contains encounters with celebrities like Beyonce, Dr. Dre, Aaliyah, Michael Jordan, James Brown, Chris Brown, Janet Jackson, Luther Vandross, Vivica A.

Starting out in college radio, interning at #1 professional stations, early influences on the male sex drive, and the impact of sports teams like the 1985 Chicago Bears and the Chicago Bulls of the 1990s are also covered in this first book (a list of subjects contained in the Vol. 1 & 2 index can be found at http://mcmarcuschapman.blogspot.com).

DEBUT MEMOIR, "THE UPSIDE OF THE DOWN LOW", CHRONICLES PASTOR'S WIFE'S LESSONS LEARNED FROM TUMULTUOUS MARRIAGE-- In a new memoir by Yolanda King Stephen, discover how one woman relies on prayer to survive a failed marriage amid the town's biggest church scandal in this real-life account of lies, betrayal, and suicide. -- Columbus, GA (BlackNews.com) -- After returning to a hometown where good southern Christians are bred from the womb, Yolanda King Stephen followed in her mother's footsteps and married a pastor: a man revered for delivering charismatic sermons; a man connected to the community; a man people trusted and admired for his charming candor. Following a fairytale courtship and an extravagant wedding, she soon found out her husband was merely that: a man. A man with issues and secrets so low down, they were outright down low. In her book debut, set for November release - The Upside of the Down Low, a Pastor's Wife's Memoir - Stephen shares her personal journey of heartache to healing. The book uncovers topics, including homosexuality and infidelity, considered taboo but that are rampant within the black church. Stephen recounts her painful story in the hope of helping others enduring challenging situations in their own lives. "The decision to write The Upside did not come easily, because I had to be willing to expose my marriage, my husband, and myself," said Stephen. "Through this difficult time, I realized it wasn't about me. It was about sharing my story to help others see who God really is." Stephen's explosive memoir of her rocky marriage explores the pressures of religious leadership and warns readers against worshipping man instead of worshipping God. It is a poignant, inspiring testament to the power gained in developing a closer relationship with God. Published by No Ordinary Rose Publications, The Upside is now available for advance ordering through upsidebook.com. The official book release is scheduled for October 25, 2011, when The Upside will be available for purchase at Barnes & Noble bookstores, Amazon.com, and Kindle and Nook formats.
