Memoir, Going Rogue: An American Life | featured news

Sarah Palin appears well on her way to becoming a million-selling author. "Going Rogue" sold 700,000 copies – a number that includes pre-orders – in its first week of release, according to a publishing official close to the former Alaska governor. The official was not authorized to release the sales figure and asked not to be identified.
Palin's memoir came out Nov. 17 with a first printing of 1.5 million copies. On Friday, publisher HarperCollins announced that the printing would be increased to 2.5 million.

Sarah Palin's much-discussed book, "Going Rogue," hasn't even been officially released yet and already its accuracy is in question.

The Huffington Post has obtained internal McCain campaign emails -- addressed to and by the former vice presidential candidate -- that directly contradict or cast serious doubt on several of Palin's assertions. The emails were passed along by a mid-level staffer who called early excerpts of "Going Rogue", a serious mixing of truth and imagination."

The rollout for former Alaska governor Sarah Palin's highly anticipated and score-settling memoir began Thursday with all the orchestrated stagecraft, wild accusations, inconvenient leaks and media fascination that characterized her campaign as Sen. John McCain's running mate during the 2008 presidential race.

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was paid at least $1.25 million for her upcoming memoir, a book that's one of the top pre-orders on online bestseller lists even before its release next month.

Fans and foes alike are hoping for surprises in Sarah Palin 's memoir , Going Rogue: An American Life , which leap-frogged Dan Brown and Glenn Beck to the top of the Amazon.com bestseller last week before even being published.
