Zondervan to Publish Palin Biography


Zondervan will publish a new biography of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the running mate chosen by Republican presidential candidate John McCain.

To be released Oct. 10, Sarah Palin: A New Kind of Leader by Joe Hilley will explore Palin's career in politics, her life as a hockey mom and committed Christian faith, explaining how they influence her style of leadership and aligns with the country's changing economy in the information age, Zondervan officials said.

"Regardless of your political persuasion, it is clear that Sarah Palin has quickly electrified the 2008 election and sparked a nationwide dialogue and debate," said Moe Girkins, president and CEO of Zondervan.

Sarah Palin: A New Kind of Leader is the second biography to be released this year about Palin, who has been called "the most talked-about woman in America" since McCain's surprised announcement.

Fairbanks, Alaska-based Epicenter Press released Sarah: How a Hockey Mom Turned Alaska's Political Establishment Upside Down by Kaylene Johnson in May. Ingram Publisher Services—Ingram Book Group's distribution, sales and marketing services for publishers—recently agreed to print and distribute more than 30,000 copies of a paperback version of the book
