GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Nov. 12 (UPI) -- Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will start her national tour for her book, "Going Rogue," in Grand Rapids, Mich., a publicist said.

HarperCollins publicist Tina Andreadis, whose company is Palin's publisher, said the former Republican vice presidential candidate will appear at a Grand Rapids bookstore next Wednesday, The Detroit News reported Thursday.

The Grand Rapids appearance will then be followed by appearances in Roanoke, Va.; Sioux Falls, S.D.; Sioux City, Iowa; Noblesville, Ind.; Washington, Pa. and Fort Bragg, N.C.

Chicago, Los Angeles and New York, all major media outlets, are not part of Palin's tour.

"She wants to be unconventional. She is unconventional," Andreadis said of the book tour details. "She feels like this is where her fans are and Harper feels this is where she'll sell the most books."

The Detroit News said former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee will also be stopping in Grand Rapids, Mich., as part of his 64-city book tour to promote his book, "A Simple Christmas." Huckabee's Grand Rapids appearance in scheduled for next Tuesday.
