anne heche's book almost done

Anne Heche's book detailing her relationship with Ellen DeGeneres and her life before and after Ellen will hit the stores later this year.

Anne Heche, formerly half of the most-famous gay couple in Hollywood, will soon have her memoirs published. The 31-year-old actress who broke up with comedienne Ellen DeGeneres in August last year has sold her memoirs to Scribners/Simon & Schuster for an undisclosed amount, reports Fox News.

The book will detail her three-year affair with Ellen DeGeneres as well as her family life and an explanation of when she was hospitalized after she wandered up to a stranger's home in northern California.

She had apparently knocked on the stranger's door after parking her vehicle along a rural highway before walking about a mile to the residence on the same day the breakup was announced.

Heche told Fox News that she is currently involved with Coleman Laffoon, a cameraman she met while they were both working on a documentary about DeGeneres's return to stand-up comedy.

The publishers expect the book to hit the shelves later this year.
