Readers will learn all sorts of White House trivia.

And that, of course, was the aforementioned exercise in embarrassment.

It was dark, the author says of her office fling.

And Im so close to it, still.

Im embarrassed, but I am proud of myself for writing it all down.

Shes currently working on her next title, but she promises it will save everyone the embarrassment.

It wont be about the White House, which Im super stoked about, she laughs.

And it wont be about me and all the mistakes Ive made.
