In 2005, Mr. Honeycutt was selected by Governor Edwards as his official biographer. After five years of exhaustive research and face-to-face interviews with Edwards, Edwin Edwards: Governor of Louisiana, An Authorized Biography by Leo Honeycutt was published in December 2009, becoming an instant bestseller with 10,000 sold in the first three days mostly in Baton Rouge. Twenty thousand sold within two weeks across Louisiana with orders for 25,000 more in January 2010. Governor Edwards chose Mr. Honeycutt after publication of Honeycutt's acclaimed novel, Over the Edge.

The book signing was free and open to the public, and was hosted by Paragon Casino Resort and the Marksville Lions Club.
