Florida [palmbeachpost.com]- When I first heard former porn star Heather Hunter was writing a book about, well… a porn star, I naturally assumed it was non-fiction. Auto-biographical.

That’s what I get for assuming.

Alas, Insatiable: The Rise of a Porn Star is in fact fiction. Fiction, no doubt, based on at least a little fact. St. Martin’s Press is set to release the book July 24th.

Hunter is penning the novel with author Michelle Valentine, a trend that seems to be growing in the publishing industry.

A famous or semi-famous person “writes” a novel with the help of an established writer.

Rapper Snoop Dogg teamed up with David E. Talbert for Love Don’t Live Here No More and radio shock jocktress Wendy Williams penned Drama is Her Middle Name and Is The Bitch Dead, or What? with author Karen Hunter.

All of these novels are based or at least loosely based on the lives of these celebrities so what’s wrong with a memoir or biography? It used to be that in order to get a book deal, especially for fiction, you had to have writing talent! Today, you just need to find someone else who does!
