Loving Literary

A while back I wrote about Patrick Swayze writing a memoir when the news first broke. The post is here . There wasn’t much information about his plans then, but there are more now!

This fall, 2009, Patrick Swayze and his wife of more than thirty years, Lisa Niemi will release their personal memoir.  Patrick Swayze is a famous actor known for his roles in Dirty Dancing (Ultimate Edition), Ghost (Special Collector’s Edition), The Outsiders, Road House, Keeping Mum, Next of Kin, and Black Dog. Patrick Swayze is also the star of “The Beast” on A&E.

Patrick Swayze’s book is still untitled and will be published by Atria, a division of Simon & Schuster.  In a statement released by Atria, Patrick Swayze had this to say about his book:

“With everything I’ve been fortunate enough to do in my life, and covering such a wide range of diverse subject matters, I’m told that my story has been inspirational to people. I will write from my heart about these experiences and aside from the sheer pleasure of doing it, if people happen to garner inspiration from it, or incentive, or find a new way to love, it would be wonderful.”

Patrick Swayze was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year.
