Snoop Puts Pen To Paper For Debut Novel
Snoop Dogg can now add author to his already impressive resume. The rapper is set to release his first novel this fall via Atria Books, a division of the publishing giant Simon & Schuster.
Entitled Love Don't Live Here No More, the book will tell the story of a young Southern Californian's day-to-day struggle and the trials he faces trying to make it in the hip-hop world.
"Snoop, by nature of what he does, is a storyteller," said Kathleen Schmidt, Atria Books vice president and director of publicity via a statement. "Books speak more to a female audience than does his music, so this will give him an opportunity to show, particularly his female fans, another side."
In related news, Snoop is currently facing a $20 million lawsuit from a fan who alleges the rapper, his body guards and friends, beat him when he stepped on stage during a concert last year.
Love Don't Live Here No More is slated to hit shelves in October and will be the followed by other street-inspired series' headed by Snoop for Atria.
