Duo Couldn’t Sell ‘Adios Mofo’ After Perry Stumbled

It’s hard to remember when there was once a bidding war for “Adios, Mofo” in New York. Six publishers made our agent promise to give them a chance to bid on the proposal once Perry announced for president. When he rocketed to the top of the Republican field and looked like a tea-vangelical Ronald Reagan from the red states, a heartthrob for the angry mob, Moore and I ended up with a book deal that made national news. … And then Perry opened his mouth. Bless his heart.

— Jason Stanford, writing about how he and co-author James Moore lost their publisher for a book on Rick Perry once his campaign imploded.
