An author is set to release his new e-book, which is inspired by Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, on June 1.

Trey Sager told Politico that his book 'Fires of Siberia' has a protagonist - Presidential candidate Danielle Powers - which bears some physical resemblance to Bachmann.

He said that the romance novel is a unique genre, as it is viewed by many people as a feminist genre.

"So it's also possible that it's kind of an empowering genre, and I actually really do believe that. So it's explicitly not pornographic. It's more along the lines of D.H. Lawrence, which has a major place in American literature."

The 39-year-old author, who resides in New York, has primarily written poetry.

He added that his politics aren't in line with Bachmann's, but he respects her a lot.
