Sen. Boxer writes novel about Senate

ERICA WERNER
Associated Press

WASHINGTON - She's a feisty left-wing senator from California faced with a vexing decision: What to do about a conservative Supreme Court nominee who appears headed for confirmation?

"You need to be the conscience of the liberals, even if you're the only voice in the wilderness," implores an aide. <snip>

It's actually Sen. Ellen Fischer, D-Calif., the fictional character Boxer created in her first novel, "A Time to Run," out Nov. 1 from Chronicle Books. <snip>

The timing is "almost unbelievable," Boxer said in an interview. <snip>
