Christine O’Donnell is following supporter Sarah Palin’s lead —she’s writing a book.

The vanquished Republican Senate candidate from Delaware has signed a deal to tell the story of her 2010 run, which drew national tea party support and the backing of the former Alaska governor.

The book will “take the reader behind the scenes of her race for the Senate and embody O’Donnell’s identification with America’s frustrations and concerns with the current political climate,” publisher St. Martin’s Press said in a news release.

O’Donnell said the book will expand upon the ideas she’s already detailed. “The 2010 midterm elections were just the beginning — the first rumblings of a revolution that has not fully erupted,” she said. “I plan on making my book one of the revolution’s catalysts.”

The book is due out in August 2011, the publisher said.
