One San Diegan knows all the details of Sarah Palin's soon-to-be released memoir, but don't ask her about it. She can't tell. Lynn Vincent, Palin's ghostwriter, has signed a non-disclosure agreement. She has been hard at work on the book for the past few months with Palin, the former Alaska governor and John McCain's running mate. So quick did their writing progress that the publisher announced yesterday that the 400-page memoir's release date, originally scheduled for spring, has been moved up to Nov. 17, with an e-book version following on Dec. 26. After resigning as governor in late July, Palin spent most of August in San Diego working with Vincent on the book, “Going Rogue: An American Life.” Rumors swirled about Palin sightings at Vincent's condo complex in north San Diego County. Palin reportedly was joined here by her family and top aide, Meghan Stapleton. This month, Palin huddled with her editors in New York. Harper, the publisher, announced a first printing of 1.5 million copies, the same quantity as Sen. Ted Kennedy's recently released book, “True Compass.” Just as Palin was relatively unknown when McCain tapped her as his running mate, Vincent hardly is a household name. For the past 10 years, she has been working for Christian-based World Magazine, from which she took leave to work full time with Palin. Like so many before her, Vincent settled in San Diego after a Navy career brought her here. From 1986 to 1989, she was stationed at Miramar Marine Corps Air Station as an air traffic controller and later at North Island Naval Air Station before retiring in 1991. Vincent's husband, Danny, who also was in the Navy, still works in air traffic control at North Island. When Vincent, 47, was chosen as ghostwriter, the liberal online Huffington Post focused on an earlier book of hers that was critical of the Democratic Party. Vincent is clearly uncomfortable with political pigeonholing and points to her books involving Christian pop singer Michael English, former terrorist Kamal Saleem and Delta Force leader Lt. Gen. William “Jerry” Boykin. The best-known of her collaborations, however, is about a millionaire art dealer whose life changed after he befriended a homeless drifter. “Same Kind of Different as Me” has sold more than 560,000 copies. It has spent 75 weeks on The New York Times best-seller list, raised millions of dollars for homeless shelters and grabbed Hollywood's attention. Movie rights were picked up by Mark Clayman, executive producer of “The Pursuit of Happyness.” He is working with Ralph Winter (of “X-Men” fame). The book spawned so many responses from readers, who claimed it affected their lives, that Vincent wrote a sequel, “What Difference Do It Make?,” telling their stories. It's due for release today.

These sound like worthy reads. I checked with Amazon, and Palin's book is not yet available, even as a pre-order item.
Check on WND or NewsMax. I'm sure they will be giving them away 'for free' with a paid subscription to their services.
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
lol - no doubt about it. I get more crap email from Newsmax than the law should allow.
Not to bash Palin but has she done enough in life for a 400-page memoir? It's a little odd. I'd think a 200-page book on politics with some bio info would do better. But maybe that's a campaign book and she'll release one of those too in 2011.
Please...be my guest! LOL

Just Oy.
Redneck vs. cop: Redneck. Cop vs. n-word: Cop. n-word vs. white guilter: n-word. Being a lawyer knocks you down a peg, so redneck lawyer vs. cop and n-word lawyer vs. white guilter are toss-ups. White guilter lawyers are the lowest form of life. Reading the 1-star reviews may save you some money.
