Sen. Ted Cruz's book, "A Time for Truth: Reigniting the Miracle of America," is coming out this summer.

HarperCollins Publishers told The Associated Press on Thursday that it has set a June 30 release date for the book, for which Cruz reached a reported seven-figure deal last year. Cruz, a first-term Texas Republican considering a presidential run in 2016, said in a recent telephone interview that in a time of "extraordinary challenges" he wants to tell his story and share his message of free markets and constitutional liberties.

"Men and women are frustrated with career politicians in both parties who are not listening to them," Cruz told the AP, adding that the themes of a possible White House candidacy are "certainly reflected in this book."

Cruz, a favorite among tea party activists who has battled with Democrats and members of his own party, also said he wants to counter the "caricatures" of the right as "stupid," ''evil" or "crazy."

"The image created in the mainstream media does not comply with the facts," he said.

Cruz joins a bipartisan field of possible candidates with books out in the past couple of years, from Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton to Republicans Scott Walker and Rand Paul. He said that "A Time for Truth" will include vignettes about Anwar Sadat, Elie Wiesel and others who "had the courage" to speak out even at risk to themselves, a theme he acknowledged can be found in a famous work by a future president, then-Sen. John F. Kennedy's "Profiles In Courage."

The vignettes draw upon "an aspect of what Kennedy did" in his book, Cruz said of "Profiles in Courage," a tribute to U.S. senators who took stands unpopular within their own party.

This should silence the “but Cruz hasn’t announced yet” crowd. He just did.

If Cruz or Walker become President I will finally have some hope.

I can’t believe the damage this communist monster Obama is doing to America and freedom, and the Internet(his FCC unconstitutionally passed net neutrality laws). Obama and the news media are destroying America, freedom and capitalism on purpose

I just fear this evil marxist creep Obama will not leave in 2016. what a nightmare this Obama has created for us in a once free country the USA. the Obama pos done all this damage with the help of the news media and the democrat party

I hate Obama , the news media and all democrats who voted for this cretin Obama. I can’t believe we are living in this nightmare. What these traitors have done to America, freedom, opportunity ,prosperity is the worst thing any group has ever done .

He may want to complain about “career politicians”, but for a brief period in the late 90s, every job he’s had has been in government. Reminds me of Br’er Rabbit...

I love Cruz, but my heart still stings from 2010/2011 when Palin released Going Rogue and it looked like it was going to be inevitable that she was going to run. I hope Cruz runs, I'll take this as a good sign, but these days it's hard to know who's running and who isn't.
