Sen. Marco Rubio Signs Book Deal

MIAMI – Politician turned author Senator Marco Rubio has signed a book deal.

Rubio, 40, signed with Sentinel, a conservative imprint of Penguin Group (USA), for a memoir tentatively scheduled for Fall 2012. The book is currently untitled.

The Florida Republican, who is a favorite with the tea party, has often been mentioned as possible running mate on the 2012 GOP presidential ticket. Rubio, however, has said he would not accept such an offer because he's focused on being a U.S. senator.
