Snoop Dogg releases his first book
Rapper and actor Snoop Dogg's first novel is to be published in the US in October.
The Book Standard reports that 'Love Don't Live Here Anymore' tells of a young man struggling with daily life in Southern California while trying to become a hip-hop star.
The book will be published by Atria Books, a division of literary giant Simon & Schuster.
Commenting, Atria's Vice President and Director of Publicity Kathleen Schmidt said: "Snoop, by nature of what he does, is a storyteller."
She continued: "Books speak more to a female audience than does his music. So these novels give him an opportunity to show, particularly his female fans, another side."
