I'd like to think this news is a joke, but it's the headlining article on Variety right now: Sex and the City author Candace Bushnell has inked a deal to write two new Carrie Bradshaw novels aimed at young adults. The books will be set during Carrie’s high school years and will be published beginning in fall 2010 by HarperCollins Children’s Bray and Bray imprint.

You know what this tells me? That SaTC has a fan base among kids young enough to be reading high-school-age books two years from now, which... wow.
