GI Jessica signs million dollar book deal

Jessica Lynch, the former PoW whose capture and rescue from an Iraqi hospital made her a US celebrity, has signed a book deal that will put her on the way to becoming a millionaire.

I Am a Soldier, Too: The Jessica Lynch Story, co-written by Pulitzer Prize winner Rick Bragg, is scheduled to come out in mid-November with a first printing of around 500,000 copies, said publisher Alfred Knopf.
