A new novel billed as an “old-fashioned bodice ripper romance” was inspired by the life of tea party champion and 2012 Republican presidential candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), the book’s publisher claimed. 

Fires of Siberia, written by Tréy Sager, centers around Danielle Powers, a presidential candidate “full of firebrand pluck and red state sex appeal,” according to the book’s press release.It will be released Wednesday by Badlands Unlimited, a company founded in 2010 that “publishes e-books, limited edition paper books, and artist works in digital and print forms,” per the press release.
