Tyra Banks Debuts First Novel

She’s already a diva, talk show host and super model. Now, Tyra Banks, 36, is adding novelist to the list of her professions.

"I said I was going to do it, and here it is!," Banks says in a post on her website. "It’s for all the girls and guys who want a lot more FANTASY in their lives … and some fierceness and magic, romance and mystery, crazy and wild adventures, and yeah, some danger too. It’s my novel called Modelland (pronounced "Model Land") that takes you to a fantastical place you’ve never seen, or heard about, or read about before … Where dreams come true and life can change in the blink of a smoky eye."

Banks’s previously published a non-fiction tome, Tyra’s Beauty, Inside and Out, in 1998. Modelland is the first of three books she is set to deliver to Random House.
