Wife, mother, campaigner ... author?

By Scott Helman, Political Reporter June 26, 2007 03:43 PM

Don't make room on your bookshelf just yet, but there could be another Romney book in the offing. And not by Mitt.

Mitt Romney's campaign confirms that publishers have approached Romney's wife, Ann, a sunny and frequent presence on the campaign trail, about writing a book. Her husband's already got one to his name, "Turnaround," his account of running the 2002 Winter Olympics.

"There have been several inquiries from publishers about Ann's interest in writing a book," says Romney spokesman Kevin Madden. "But Ann has not entered into any agreements or made any decisions on these inquiries."

A memoir from Ann, assuming that's what it would be, could only help Romney burnish his family-man credentials, something he's worked hard to show off during the primary race. Last week, Ann announced on their sons' blog, Five Brothers, that she and other members of the family would begin posting recipes online. The first one, if you're interested, is for meatloaf cakes. "I received this recipe when we were first married and [Mitt's] loved it ever since," she wrote.
