COLUMBIA, South Carolina (CNN) - Prior to revelations of an extramarital affair that effectively brought an end to his political career, Mark Sanford was preparing to publish a book outlining his policy beliefs, his publisher told CNN Wednesday.
Sentinel, a conservative imprint of Penguin Group, has included a book by Sanford entitled "Within Our Means" in their Spring 2010 catalogue, the proofs of which have already been sent to the printers. It was described by the publisher as "a manifesto about fiscal conservatism - why the government needs to spend less and fix the deficit ASAP."
That was before Sanford's life changed forever. Sentinel associate publisher Will Weisser told CNN Wednesday that the company will "most likely" make an announcement about the book's fate later this week.
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. "So it could be anything."
Sanford's office had no comment.

This guy keeps dragging this country into mud...
Please drop it, go!
And he is not stepping down because, he is who?
A book?
Cry me angentina?
Being fiscally conservative could possibly include the tax payer not financing trips to see your mistress ...
Sanford had no problem spending government money to see his mistress or maybe he's suggesting if the government would spend less the money would not have been available for him to fly to Argentina.
Only in America....
This country getting rotten on republicans watch!
How about a new chapter about "How to cut personal expenses while traveling a-broad".
Or "How to combine business and pleasure on frequent flyer miles".
Can we just get over this garbage and move on to more important matters. He made his own problems just like Clinton,Edwards,Kennedy, Ensign and all the rest of the slime .
the name of the book: Erotic trip to Argentina
How do we know that Jenny was giving herself to the Gov. She might very well be the issue.
And the jokes just keep writing themselves...

Political scandal you get a show I am a celebrity get me out of here or a book deal. I think I will change my career too!
Wonder if he'll reminisce about his hero "W" reading "My Pet Goat" instead of governing?
After all of his out of wedlock experience, he is not only an expert in domestic affairs, but also in foreign relations.
To be honest with you, I don't know how this guy will fall in love with his wife since he was in love with the other woman... I really don't know how!
