Levi Johnston, Bristol Palin’s former fiance, has written a essay about his woman who almost became his mother-in-law — former GOP VP candidate Sarah Palin — for the Oct. issue of Vanity Fair Magazine.

News of Johnston VF special broke on Monday, when the magazine released an image of its October cover — which features the teasing headline “Me and Sarah Palin, by Levi Johnston.”

The new issue of Vanity Fair arrives on newsstands in New York and Los Angeles Sept. 2 and nationwide on Sept. 8.
