“Sex and The City” Author Plans Teen Books About Carrie Bradshaw

“Sex and the City” author Candace Bushnell is writing two more books following Carrie Bradshaw’s character when Carrie was in high school.

The pair of teen novels “The Carrie Diaries” will “take readers back to Carrie Bradshaw’s formative years in high school, giving an inside look at Carrie’s friendships, romances and how she realized her dream of becoming a writer.”

According to Bushnell, “”I’ve always been interested in exploring Carrie’s teenage years. Carrie in high school did not follow the crowd _ she led it. It was there that she began observing and commenting on the social scene.”

The novel, part of a two-book deal, is set to be released in the Fall of 2010.
