This is perfect! The book will be released right before the Holidays and the mid-terms. Which means it’ll be in the public conscious instead of drowned out by the elections. Can’t wait to pre-order this baby on Overstock!

Dont for get to check out www.half.com for it too. Great place to get them new/used/eaten by a dog at a fair market value. You can pre-order it there too and set your price limit. FYI

I wonder if she did it alone? If so, she sure didn’t have the writer’s block obama had. I wonder how big her advance was. Could have been huge. Legal bills should be covered.

She sure finished her first book a lot faster than Obama did. And I suspect with a lot less help.

So, this explains why she has not been seen out much in public. Good work, Sarah. We need you.

Mine will be titled “Going Broke”, co-authored with 200+ million other Americans; it will be on the shelf right next to FUBO’s DOMF.
