The Booker T autobiography Dave mentioned earlier will be co-written by Andrew William Wright, who worked on the excellent Road Warriors book with Road Warrior Animal last year. The deal with Medallion Press was signed before Booker returned to WWE in January 2011, so that's why WWE isn't releasing the book.
The Booker T is being planned as both a hardcover and an audio book release. The official blurb being issued to retailers reads:
"As a six-time world champion, TV commentator, and holder of over thirty-five major titles in WWE, WCW, and TNA, Booker T. Huffman knows what it means to fight. He learned long before he entered the ring, when daily survival was a fierce battle.
Booker T: From Prison to Promise details Huffman’s struggles from his youngest years. Losing his father at only ten months and his mother at only thirteen years old, Booker was forced along with his seven siblings to navigate life alone. Wrestling with hunger, poverty, and criminal influences, he struggled to survive in urban Houston and soon spiraled out of control, gravitating toward gang life and ultimately landing in prison.
Finally confronting himself while incarcerated, Booker made a promise to rise above crime and hopelessness to accomplish greater things and become an agent of change in his community. From anonymity to stardom, from rags to riches, Booker T takes us on his journey From Prison to Promise . . . Now can you dig that, SUCKA?"
