30 Books Written by Celebrities-Turned-Fiction-Authors

"Typically, when you become an upper-tier celebrity—the kind with global name recognition—that's the top of the career tree, the end of new job applications. You're the apex predator of the employment market. You did it.

But some celebrities just won't quit. In fact, some of them make a go at one of the toughest jobs on the planet—fiction writing.

We've gathered below ten legitimate real-deal books written (or co-written) by top-level, you-know-that-name celebrities. For this collection, we're aiming for celebrities in the pop culture sense—actors, musicians, or reality-TV stars, say—rather than celebrities in the larger sense of public figure. No former presidents, for example. And we're sticking to fiction; no autobiography or memoirs.

The books here range across multiple genres—mystery, romance, historical fiction—and range in age category."
