The first  book will debut in 2010. Bushnell’s publeisher issued a statement made by the author that said, “Carrie in  high school did not follow the crowd – she led it. It was there she began observing and commenting on the social scene.”

Her Fifth Novel is coming out this month, “One Fifth Avenue.”  I absolutely can’t wait.  

Besides being a die hard SATC fan, I have read “Lipstick Jungle” by Bushnell and am following the series which made it debut last fall.   It’s not Sex and The City, but Brooke Sheilds and the girls are fabulous! Fans, if you haven’t seen the show, make sure to watch this fall and let me know what you think! 

Show makes it season premiere on: Wed., Sept. 24th @ 10pm on NBC.

 I read this book in about a day, and couldn’t put it down!!  Faith is TRULY talented and as real as they come. She has been through sosme things…She gave me some real insight to her artistry, mistakes, early Bad Boy and so many relevant artists of the mid 90’s – now. This was definitely a good read!

Here’s and excerpt from the book:

Inside the Vibe party, I didn’t get a chance to speak to Biggie, it didn’t help that we were separated and dating other people at the time. I thought I heard someone say something about shots ringing out, but we were able to get into our car and out of the lot with no problem so we didn’t think twice about it.

Our driver had followed a long line of cars up La Cienega Blvd., and into the Hollywood Hills.  When we arrived, Heavy D came over and told us we better get to the hospital, something had happened to Big.  I barely remember the ride from the Hollywood Hills to the hospital.  I just remember rocking back and forth mumbling and praying to myself.

The car drove right up to the front entrance of the emergency room.  I was ushered through the emergency room and into a smaller waiting room.  Puffy was the first person to come over to me.  He was walking so slowly and his lips were pursed so tight that it looked like he was physically in a lot of pain.

“Puff, what happened?  What’s going on?  Where’s Big?  Is he okay?”

Puff looked up at me.  “Faith, his voice trailed off and he closed his eyes.  “I’m going to let the doctor talk to you.”

“Mrs. Wallace,” the doctor said.  “We tried to revive your husband.  We massaged his heart several times to get it beating again but we were unsuccessful.”  “The bullets ricocheted through his body.  We could not revive him.”

Faith screamed, “What are you saying?  You have to try again!”

“Mrs. Wallace, we can’t”

I began to shake uncontrollably.  For some reason, I didn’t cry, I just panicked.  I was wearing several rings at the time and I just started yanking them off and dropping them on the floor.  Someone led me to a chair.  I sat down and I wept quietly for 20 minutes.

My husband and the father of my newborn son was dead.

Damn, this book seems like a must have. But is she really telling
