Publisher Puts Sarah Palin Bio for Evangelical Christian Tweens on Indefinite Hold

[Joanne98]

Zondervan, the Christian book publisher, is (was) planning a Sarah Palin biography aimed at tweens called "Speaking Up: The Sarah Palin Story".
You know the story: She ran for vice president, and lost; she was governor of Alaska, and quit halfway through her term; her book, "Going Rogue: An American Life," was a best-seller; she's a commentator on the Fox News Channel; she will soon be sharing Alaska in a series for The Learning Channel; she's in great demand as a speaker, and gets handsomely paid for her appearances.

She tweets; she Facebooks; she endorses candidates; and now, Sarah Palin will have her life story told in a biography specifically earmarked for Christian evangelical tweens. Maybe!

Originally scheduled for publication in October - just prior to the mid-term elections - the book's publisher, Zondervan, a wholly owned subsidiary of HarperCollins (which published Palin's "Going Rogue"), which in turn is owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, made a surprise announcement a few days ago saying that publication of the Palin tweener bio had been put on indefinite hold.

3. LOP = LACK OF POTENTIAL......LACK OF PROFITS.....LACK OF DEPTH

She is as shallow as the Mohave Lake near Death Valley

4. She's coming to GA to stump for Handel for Gov.

Another HS educated should-never-have-been GOP who rose thru the ranks. From the comments I've seen, Palin's coming here will only hurt her

5. Why: Step-grandmother . . . . .

6. No MORE Palin Books!

Over the holidays in Houston I volunteered to wrap books to raise money for a dog rescue group at Barnes & Noble. Directly in front of me was a display of Palin's "Going Rogue" - there must have been about 100 books!! I couldn't handle looking at her face, it was torture!
