Sugarcoated? Hmm, I think I smell a rat.

The following story appeared recently in the New York Daily News: Martha stirs up book deal. Maybe she'll call it "Martha Stewart Living in Prison."

"The incarcerated domestic diva is shopping a book on her experiences at the federal prison camp in Alderson, WV, New York Magazine reports on its web site."

"Publishing industry sources told the magazine that lawyers working on Stewart's behalf have been quietly approaching book company executives about a memoir that Stewart would pen while she serves her five-month prison sentence."

"The initial word was that the work would be a "prison diary," but it might reach further back than that, sources told New York."

"Stewart's lawyers reportedly made their pitch during the Frankfurt book fair, just before Stewart began serving her sentence," the magazine said.

"Crown is emerging as a likely contender for the manuscript, and the final amount of the deal could exceed $5 million, according to New York."

GIVE ME A BREAK! Five million dollars for five months at a minimum-security camp! I have done eight and a half years in a medium security prison!

Let me see, at a million dollars a month, what would that be worth?

But have no fear my beloved readers of this blog, I will never forget you if I ever get a book deal. Those of you who have been reading this blog will get to see any actual book as it happens.

While I have not been to Camp Cupcake, I have heard stories about what goes on there from staff members who have worked there, and also from inmates who have had girlfriends that have served time there. From the stories I have heard, it will be interesting to see if Martha can tell the truth.

Basically, the word is that the women there are not exactly the "cleanest" living creatures, and apparently same-sex hookups are not at all uncommon!

So, will Martha be able to tell her gentle readers the truth, or will it be like the food products in her other books - sugarcoated?
