Evelyn Lozada, star of VH1’s hit reality series Basketball Wives, has signed a six-figure deal to develop literary and feature film projects, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Lozada, one of the most high-profile members of the Basketball Wives cast, is the one-time fiancée of former Boston Celtics all-star Antoine Walker, and the current fiancée of New England Patriots wide receiver Chad Ochocinco. She co-owns Dulce, a shoe boutique in Coral Gables, Florida.

First up for Lozada is The Wives Association, a book series to be co-authored by novelist and former Law & Order: Criminal Intent writer Courtney Parker. The books will be loosely based on Lozada’s life, using the alter ego Eve Inez-Landon to fictionalize the true stories she has learned from years of dating professional athletes.
