WASHINGTON (AFP) –
Former US vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin's memoirs will be published in late November under the title "Going Rogue," US media reported Tuesday.

The ex-Alaska governor finished her book weeks earlier than anticipated by writing full-time for nearly four months, which will allow her to get it to bookstores ahead of the Christmas holiday shopping season.

The title "Going Rogue," a pejorative term, referred to allegations that while she was running mate to Republican presidential candidate John McCain, Palin was also loose cannon surreptitiously plotting her own political ascent, including a possible 2012 White House run.

Last week she made a paid speaking appearance in Hong Kong, but mostly has been out of the spotlight while working on her book.

NBC television reported that Palin moved her family to San Diego, California for the month of August so she could work with her collaborator Lynn Vincent on the book.

Vincent is an editor at Evangelical Magazine, a periodical geared toward evangelical Christians.

NBC reported that Palin's publisher HarperCollins has ordered an initial print run of 1.5 million books, the same amount as for late Senator Edward Kennedy's just-released memoirs.
