According to CNN, the rising Republican star secured (before the affair surfaced) a book deal with Penguin’s Sentinel imprint–scheduled for Spring 2010 publication.

The news agency caught up with the imprint’s associate publisher, Will Weisser, for an interview with a cryptic ending. This isn’t Sanford’s first book. In 2000, he published a book entitled, interestingly enough, “The Trust Committed To Me.”

Here’s more from the article: “Weisser would not elaborate on whether that meant Sanford would write a new book about the scandal, or if it simply meant the book deal has been scrapped altogether. ‘We’ll announce a decision about what’s going to happen about the book.’ he said.”
