An old novel by Jay McInerney based on John Edwards' future mistress, Rielle Hunter, is getting a fresh new printing to meet increased demand for the book since the scandal has recently made headlines. An extra 2,500 hundred copies have been commissioned for "Story of My Life", according to Vintage Books, a paperback imprint of Random House Inc.

The book was first released in 1988, and its main character is a promiscuous, aspring actor that the author says was inspired by Hunter, who was at the time named Lisa Druck.

As of Monday afternoon, "Story of My Life" was #470 on Amazon's best-seller's list and was out of stock.

McInerney, 53, is best known for "Bright Lights, Big City". Some of his other works include "Ransom", "Brightness Falls", and The Good Life."
