So maybe working in the White House really is like "24"! Nicolle Wallace, communications director under George W. Bush and an advisor to the McCain-Palin campaign, has signed with Atria Books to publish her first novel in October. According to Atria's press release, "Eighteen Acres" (insider jargon for the White House complex) follows the first female president, "Charlotte Kramer," as she and her staff contend with "dangerous threats from abroad and within her very own cabinet."
