No one has ever written a book about what life is like for the 13% of women who make up the US army. Kayla is no Jessica Lynch, nor is she the infamous female soldier in the Abu Graihb scandal. She's 'the real GI Jane' - and she wants to write a book that tells civilians what it feels like to be a women soldier at peace and in war. 'Jarhead' has been a hugely successful nonfiction book, and 'Love My Rifle' will appeal to its large readership, as well as attracting female readers who've always wondered what it might be like to be in the army. The author will be in the UK on publication, and will attract a huge amount of publicity.
