It’s spring break for many people this week and Alabama State Auditor Jim Zeigler has a beach reading pick — his book. Zeigler has self-published “The Making of the People’s Governor 2018.” It’s a fictional account of a future Zeigler administration, though he says the book is not an announcement of his candidacy.
