Levi Johnston, the man catapulted into the public spotlight after he fathered a child with Bristol Palin, has inked a book deal with Simon & Schuster’s Touchstone imprint. Deer in the Headlights: My Life in Sarah Palin’s Crosshairs will be published this fall.

Sterling Lord Literistic agent Robert Guinsler negotiated the deal with senior editor Matthew Benjamin. Touchstone publisher Stacy Creamer called it “a sweet and funny book with a touch of irony.”

Johnston had this statement in the release: “I want to tell the truth about my close relationship with the Palins… my sense of Sarah, and my perplexing fall from grace–how I feel and what I’ve learned. I’m doing this for me, for my boy Tripp and for the country.”

Author and conservative radio host Michael Savage has sold a new book to the HarperCollins imprint of William Morrow, a tome entitled Trickle Up Poverty: Stopping Obama’s Attack on Our Borders, Economy, and Security.

Here’s more about the book: “In Trickle Up Poverty, Michael Savage says a revolution is brewing. Americans are boiling mad over the way Congress and this Marxist/Leninist-oriented President are manipulating the current economic crisis to nationalize businesses. They’re steamed over the fraud science used to support global warming–which is nothing more than a gigantic Ponzi scheme. They’re watching their life savings evaporate while the President saddles them with $3.6 trillion in new debt.”

According to Publishers Lunch, Ian Kleinert at Objective Entertainment sold the book to William Morrow’s Lynn Grady and Matthew Benjamin.
