Like you didn’t know there would be a book.

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Former New Jersey governor James McGreevey is writing a book about his political career that ended when he resigned last year after admitting a gay affair, his publisher Regan Books said Friday.

McGreevey, a 47-year-old Democrat who was twice married and has two children, quit the office in a news conference in which he proclaimed, “I am a gay American,” and admitted an affair with a man he hired in 2002 to head the state’s Homeland Security department.

The man he said he had the affair with denied any involvement with McGreevey and has alleged he was sexually harassed by the governor.

“He will describe how he wrestled with his sexuality and his faith — from the expectations he faced as a young man, to the divided persona he created in order to meet them,” Judith Regan, publisher of Regan Books, an imprint of Harper Collins, said in a statement.

Regan did not say when the as-yet untitled book would be published. A spokesman for the publisher declined to give financial details of the deal.

In his resignation speech just days after last year’s U.S. presidential election, in which gay marriage was a prominent issue, McGreevey apologized to his family but said he was proud to be a “gay American.”

McGreevey, who served less than three years of his 4-year term, said upon retiring that his achievements included improvements in education, environmental issues, and progressive measures to conduct stem-cell research.

Republicans said, however, that his administration worsened the state’s finances.

Regan said in a statement McGreevey’s book would be “an unforgettable story of what happens when the public and political collide with the personal.”
