Glee's Chris Colfer scores two-book deal

Glee's Chris Colfer, who plays the character of Kurt Hummel, has signed a two-book deal with Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. 

The actor and singer has been exercising his creativity away from the hit U.S musical show over the past year and has now landed himself an exciting opportunity to pen two pieces of literature.

The first book is called 'The Land of Stories' and will tell the story of Alex and Connor Bailey in a fusion of fairytale and reality while the second novel is currently unknown. Colfer said in a statement:

"When I was 10 years old, I promised myself that if I ever had the opportunity to write this book, I would jump at the chance. This book has been at the core of my imagination for a long time and I’m excited and nervous to share it.”

Watch a recent interview with Colfer, in which he talks about his career, here:
