A spokesman from AuthorHouse told the Associated Press on Tuesday that Angle, 61, contracted with the leading self-publishing company this month, a few days prior to announcing her campaign for the U.S house.

Spokesman Kevin Gray said publishing packages can cost as much as $15,000. Copies of the book would be printed by demand.

As a self-publisher, the Nevada Republican has control over the design and editing of the book, titled "Right Angle." The tea party member is hoping to release the book in April.

Angle lost a heated campaign against Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid last November. Currently, she's seeking the 2012 GOP nomination for a northern Nevada congressional seat.
