Ice-T's career as a rapper lead to his career as an actor, mostly for his role as "Fin" Tutuola on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit since that show debuted. (Ice-T, left, came in on the last show of the first season.)

Nicole “Coco” Marrow is an actor and model, but is best known as Ice-T's wife.

Together, the couple, along with their bulldog, star in the reality TV series Ice Loves Coco on E!.

The couple, married since 2005, often show up together on talk shows and Coco has appeared twice on Law & Order: SVU, both times as a porn actress.

Both now are making their debut in the book world with their novels released on the same day by Forge Books.

Ice-T offers a gritty street drama about an aged gangster fresh out of prison and looking for revenge.with Kings of Vice.

Coco visits the spiritual side with Angel, the story of a woman who survives a plane wreck but has no idea who she is.

Ice-T and Coco are quite watchable. The couple seems to really like being with each other and Ice-T often seems amused by his wife.

As far as writers, well, we'll see.

Both have been making the talk show rounds touting their books. Both are quite open that they had co-authors on their project.

Mal Radcliff is listed on the cover and inside as Ice-T's co-author. But I couldn't find any info about Radcliff during my myriad Internet searches.

I had better luck with Laura Hayden, who is listed on the cover and inside as Coco's co-author. Hayden has written several romantic suspense novels and has co-authored a couple of mysteries with Susan Ford, the daughter of President Gerald Ford.

Ice: A Memoir of Gangster Life and Redemption-from South Central to Hollywood, Ice-T’s memoir, established him as a compelling storyteller. (He had a co-author on that project, too.)
