Just read this:
"John Phillips, Authorized
St. Martin's Press acquired an authorized biography of the Mamas and the Papas frontman and one-time tabloid fixture, John Phillips. Executive editor Kathy Huck bought North American rights to Chris Campion's Wolfking from Peter McGuigan at Foundry Literary + Media. Campion (Walking on the Moon) is writing the book—the title refers to Phillips's first solo album—with Jeffery A. Greenberg. The book will be the first about the musician authorized by the Phillips estate—Phillips died in 2001—and will follow his musical career and more recent bouts with infamy after his daughter, Mackenzie Phillips, disclosed she had an affair with him in her memoir released last fall. Wolfking is currently scheduled for spring 2012. "
