MICHAEL SCHIAVO READY FOR A BOOK DEAL

It was only natrual this would occur. The husband of Terri Schiavo, over whose right-to-life case became such a controversial issue and argued even in the halls of Congress, has come together with veteran author Michael Hirsh to co-author a work telling his side of the story.

Dutton Publishing confirmed that it would publish the 280 page work, to be known as "Terri: The Truth", in March. Apparantly Mr. Schiavo has been shopping for a book deal awhile; The Book Standard reported in June --- days after his wife's autopsy was released --- that Michael Schiavo was in New York seeking a deal.
