Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's book tour is taking her into friendly territory, avoiding New York and San Francisco, while hitting Fort Wayne, Ind.

The schedule released by HarperCollins shows Palin beginning her tour Nov. 18 in Grand Rapids, Mich., CNN reports. When she was U.S. Sen. John McCain's running mate last year, Palin openly disagreed with the campaign's decision to shut down operations in Michigan in the last weeks before the election.

Palin's memoir, "Going Rogue: An American Life," takes its title from complaints by McCain campaign staff members last year that she was "going rogue." She shares credit with Lynn Vincent, a ghostwriter based in San Diego.

In the first week of the book tour, Palin will hit Fort Wayne and Noblesville in Indiana, Cincinnati and Columbus in Ohio, Rochester, N.Y., Roanoke, Va., Fayetteville, N.C., Birmingham, Ala., and Jacksonville, The Villages and Orlando in Florida.

A HarperCollins spokeswoman said more cities could be added to the tour.
