Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Features,
Kendall and Kylie Jenner are to release their novel in June.
The reality TV stars have turned into budding authors after penning thrilling young adult book Rebels: City of Indra, which is based on two young girls Lex and Livia, who embark on a journey together, but later realize their biggest danger might be each other.
"Kylie and I love the creative challenge and are thrilled to have been given the opportunity to share this story," Kendall, 18, said.
Kylie, 16, added, "We can't wait to share these characters and the world we created with readers everywhere. We are so excited!"
The brunette beauties have teamed up with writer Maya Sloan for the novel, which is "set 200 years in the future," for publisher Karen Hunter at Simon & Schuster. However, the youngsters - who have their own clothing line - have held back some of their creative ideas as they want to write a series based on Lex and Livia. "We want to do something so different, something that we really love," Kendall said.

J.K. Rowling to Release Second Novel Under Pen Name
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features,
J.K. Rowling is set to release her second novel under the pen name Robert Galbraith.
The Harry Potter author wrote her first novel, The Cuckoo's Calling, under the alias last year and she's now working on a sequel to the bestselling crime novel, called Silkworm, which will be released later this year, according to publishers.
The 48-year-old writer had aimed to keep her crime writing venture a secret but her solicitor at the time revealed her pen name to the public and has since been fined and ordered to pay Rowling damages - which she donated to charity.
Silkworm will be the author's third book for adults, as she also released Casual Vacancy under her real name in 2012. Her newest crime story will feature private detective Cormoran Strike - who first appeared in The Cuckoo's Calling - and he, along with his assistant Robin Ellacott, will unravel the death of writer Owen Quine after being hired by his wife to investigate his disappearance.
