Wendy Williams Talks 'Drama,' Prepares First Novel

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.
