NEW YORK - “Sex and the City” author Candace Bushnell is in talks to turn her new book “Lipstick Jungle,” the story of three successful career women in New York, into a television series.

“I haven’t signed any deals yet but there’s a lot of interest,” Bushnell told Reuters. “Nothing’s been finalized but hopefully it will be in the next couple of weeks.”

In an interview ahead of the Sept. 6 publication of her latest novel, Bushnell said it was too early to discuss who might play the three main characters -- a film producer, a fashion designer and a magazine executive.
