Patrick Swayze may be battling stage four pancreatic cancer, but, true to form, he isn't slowing down.
The actor, who just completed the first season of the FBI drama Beast, is now planning to pen a book with his wife, Lisa. According to EW.com, Swayze will be taking offers next week. There's no word on when the book will hit stands or what it will be about other than that Swayze and his wife want it to be insipirationally-themed.
