GLEE's Jane Lynch is a Scribe; Memoir Set for Sept. 2011 Release

Recent Golden Globe & Emmy winner Jane Lynch is currently working on memoir titled "Happy Accidents" which will be released in September 2011, as reported by The New York Times. The GLEE star's book will cover the beginning of her career in improv comedy and character roles in hit films such as Role Models and Best in Show as well as her work in her critically acclaimed GLEE role, Sue Sylvester. Lynch will also discuss her personal struggle with alcoholism and homosexuality and her personal connection to Sue Sylvester.

"Sue Sylvester didn't come out of a vacuum," Lynch tells the Times. "She's someone that lives very deeply in me. I kind of liked that shaming, vengeful energy during different periods of my life. I was in therapy and I was complaining about somebody not following the rules, and my therapist basically started laughing at me and said, 'You must write a monologue about this, because it's hilarious stuff.'" Lynch added, however, that the voice of her book will not be in the style of Sue's signature sarcastic tone. "[Glee co-creator Ian Brennan] is the mastermind," she said of her TV character. "I'm simply his Frankenstein."

GLEE resumes airing on February 6 with a special post-Super Bowl episode.  "[Sue] is bored with her [cheerleading] routine, even though she has people dancing with fire and BMX bikes circling the auditorium," Lynch shared about her character's storyline. "She decides she wants to top herself by shooting Brittany [Heather Morris] through a human cannon."
