Sentinel, a conservative imprint of Penguin Group (USA), announced Monday that the Republican presidential candidate's memoir will arrive in November and already has been completed. The book, reports of which first circulated in June, is currently untitled. Sentinel declined comment on reports that Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund co-wrote the memoir.
As a member of the House of Representatives, Bachmann is not permitted to receive an advance against royalties.
According to Sentinel, Bachmann will "share previously untold stories" about her private life, "including her roles as a tax attorney, a wife, a mother of five and a foster mother of 23." Virtually all of the Republicans candidates have published books, a standard for modern presidential campaigns.
"People are the most important ingredient in life," Bachmann said in a statement issued Monday through Sentinel. "I love people, and I care deeply that our nation's economy turns around so they can realize their American dream. This book will help to share my enthusiasm for an energized, pro-growth economy, and the life experiences that inform my optimism for the American people and for American greatness."

But he became involved in his own dirt when his girlfriend/fiancee Morgan Francis Pillsbury accused him in 2001-2 with spousal abuse, resulting in his arrest.
According to columnist Cynthia Cotts, Fund's apartment is replete with "dirty dishes, unopened mail, and bottles of alcohol from hotel minibars...
covered with piles of black socks and dirty underwear."
