Radio personality
Wendy Williams is entering the world of literature with a new series of novels.
Williams’ first
book Drama Is Her Middle Name: The Ritz Harper Chronicles Vol. 1 is part
of an on-going series about her alter-ego, Ritz Harper, a famous radio personality.
"She gets
to be super-sized by a backstabbing college friend," Williams told AllHipHop.com
of the novel’s main character. "It’s kind of like a moral thing, like,
‘Would you do that?’ She just runs away with her new super-sized fame money,
fortune, the whole bit. Ritz starts my series of novels."
Published by Harlem
Moon and written with author Karen Hunter (LL Cool J, Karrine "Superhead"
Steffans), Drama’s storyline somewhat mirror’s that of Williams’ actual
career, and according to a press release for the book, "readers will salivate
as they try to figure out where the fictional Ritz ends and the real-life Wendy
begins."
Williams, who
will release the next novel in the series in December, also revealed that she
is the new spokesperson for liquor brand Alize. "You’ll be seeing cutouts
and all that other kind of jazz in stores very soon," she said.
Drama Is Her
Middle Name : The Ritz Harper Chronicles Vol. 1 hits shelves June 20.
