Memphis Author to Appear on national television, the Maury Show
MEMPHIS, TENN. Nov. 28, 2012—Five men, five stories, one book.
On Dec. 5, Marcus Matthews, author of “I Am Not the Father: Narratives of Men Falsely Accused of Paternity,” will appear on the nationally syndicated program the Maury Show.
A native Memphian, Matthews will be featured in a segment during the show where he discusses his book, upcoming documentary, and his personal story about being erroneously accused of fathering a child when he was a 17-year-old senior in high school.
Matthews self-published “I Am Not the Father” in August 2010 and said he was flattered when he received the invitation to appear on the Maury Show, which boasts more than 3 million viewers daily.
“It’s not every day that a Memphian gets to tell his story to more than 3 million people on national TV,” Matthews said.

Matthews received his master’s degree in Instruction and Curriculum Leadership from The University of Memphis in 2008 and his bachelor’s in Journalism in 2003 from there as well.
Matthews was recognized as The University of Memphis 2003 Newspaper/Magazine Student of the Year in 2003. He was recognized during The University of Memphis’ 2012 Centennial Commencement – one of only 101 graduates in the school’s history being honored.
