Surprising no one, Sarah Palin has signed a book deal. Her memoir will be published in the spring of 2010, and she claims she will address some of the misconceptions about her and her family. At first, the timing of the publication struck me as odd – most would-be presidential candidates tend to publish a book in the fall or winter before the year of the general election. But the timing for Palin’s memoir coincides with the her re-election campaign for governor of Alaska. So, if she gets reelected, she’ll probably put out another book in the winter of 2011 – if she’s going to run. Which she is. Sorry if I ruined the surprise for anyone.

Sarah Palin is ready to tell her side of the story.

The former Republican vice-presidential candidate will publish a memoir with HarperCollins that will come out in Spring 2010 — the same time she becomes eligible for reelection as Alaska’s governor.

The Alaska governor’s book, currently untitled, will cover some of the controversies surrounding herself and her family, the Associated Press reports.

The book — which will span her Alaskan childhood through last year’s presidential campaign and beyond — is expected to cover her political beliefs and her family life, including the pregnancy of her teenage daughter, Bristol Palin, who gave birth in December to a son, Tripp.

“In fairness to my family, this is going be a good opportunity for them, too, because there have been so many misperceptions out there about who we are and what we believe in, and I’m excited to get to put my journalism degree to work and tell my story as it relates to my family,” Palin said.

Although financial terms were not disclosed, Palin is expected to get a multimillion-dollar contract.

This comes only weeks after the rumor was spread that Levi Johnston (Bristol Palin’s baby-daddy) was shopping a “million dollar tell-all” about the Palin family. Could we actually have two Palin-related books come out at the same time? One, a Sarah Palin memoir, and the other a Levi Johnston ghost-written expose of the dark side of growing up on the mean streets of Wasilla?

So, let’s have some fun. What will Gov. Palin’s memoir be called? I have some guesses, of course. My money’s on Gotcha Governor or The Unbearable Lightness of Also. What’s your guess?
