Michele Bachmann Has Inspired a Sexy Romance Novel

[cali]

Michele Bachmann was the muse for a new romance novel called Fires of Siberia, to be published June 1, about a fiery presidential candidate who tries to bone up on her foreign policy credentials only to get stuck in the wilderness with a sexy stranger. "Inspired by the life of Tea Party leader and Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, Fires of Siberia is an old-fashioned bodice ripper romance that brings the heat for the 2013 summer beach reading season," touts publisher Badlands Unlimited.

Presidential candidate Danielle Powers, full of firebrand pluck and red state sex appeal, has the country in a tizzy. But on an international tour to beef up her foreign policy experience, disaster ensues—her plane explodes over Siberia. Miraculously, Danielle survives, along with one other passenger—a mysterious stranger named Steadman Bass. Trapped in a wilderness of snow and ice, the two begin a journey that pushes Danielle to the brink. There she must confront her deepest self and choose between civilization and a wild, primitive ecstasy.

It was dark inside the hull and smelled heavily of smoke. The hush of the snow echoed inside. Steadman lit a candle and it illuminated their makeshift shelter, a scarified metal shell with dangling cords. Everything was burned.

From the duffel bag Steadman retrieved a pair of sandwiches and two nips of Chivas Regal, and there was the snow for them to slurp as drinking water. He laid down a plastic tarp and three wool blankets. They ate and drank in silence.

Afterward, the fatigue caught up to her. She crawled under the blankets to warm herself.

“We’ll need to use each other for body heat,” Steadman said.

She snorted. “You wish.”

14. This reminds me of a story about my parents' MP many years ago...

I grew up in Wimbledon where the local MP for many years was an exceptionally humourless Tory called Sir Cyril Black. He was, unusually for a British politician, quite a Christian Rightie, obsessed with the evils of gambling, obscenity, Sabbath-breaking, etc. Like many Christian Righties he had no problem serving both God and Mammon, and from what I heard later, probably kept JUST within the letter of the law in the ways in which he profited from his political and business activities. My family despised him.

Anyway, at one point an American writer published a semi-pornographic novel in which the upper-class decadent English anti-hero just happened to be called ... Sir Cyril Black! The real Sir Cyril sued, and was 'successful' in that he won some damages, but of course also ensured that everyone got to hear about porno character Sir Cyril Black!
