Books whose authors star in other arenas

Today's book news yielded a small theme: that of people who have written books, but aren't full-time fiction writers.

• The Guardian spoke with actor Keanu Reeves about co-writing a novel with sci-fi author China Miéville; The Book of Elsewhere comes out tomorrow.

• Book Riot shares five books by or about Vice President Kamala Harris, who's in an even bigger spotlight right now as a presidential candidate.

• And Us Weekly reports that journalist Omid Scobie’s debut novel, Royal Spin, isn't even out yet, but it's already being adapted into a TV series.
