Which Shark Tank investor wrote the memoir Shark Tales?

Barbara Corcoran wrote the memoir Shark Tales: How I Turned a $1,000 Investment into a Billion-Dollar Business!

The book recounts Corcoran's upbringing, early working life, entry into New York real estate, and creation of The Corcoran Group. Its title links her personal business story to her role as an investor on Shark Tank, although the book is a memoir rather than a guide to the television show's production.

Corcoran has also written and spoken extensively about entrepreneurship, confidence, failure, and sales. Her public profile combines business ownership with television investing and motivational commentary.

Readers sometimes confuse Shark Tales with books written by other Sharks, especially Kevin O'Leary's financial books or Mark Cuban's business writing. The title's singular connection to Corcoran is a useful way to distinguish her bibliography from those of her fellow investors.
