Bethenny Frankel's telling stories again. The best-selling healthy lifestyle writer signed a deal with Touchstone Fireside for three books — but this time it's make believe. The first installment will be titled Skinny Dipping, and is scheduled to release next spring.

"It's about a girl's journey and what she wants, and trying to have it all," the Bethenny Ever After star tells USA Today. "It's about the lessons and the people along the way, about naysayers and rising above. There will be a lot of juiciness and people wondering what it's based on and if any of it was influenced by my life."

But — truth be told — Bethenny seems in need of a breather before diving into her next project. "I am going to thoroughly enjoy this weekend. too bad I don't have the balls to throw this blackberry in the ocean. Tempted," Mrs. Hoppy tweeted just before Labor Day weekend.

Sounds like someone needs a drink. Right, B? "I'm giving my berry and twitter a break&enjoying this beautiful weekend.starting off with a skinnygirl margarita! Cheers :)" she soon added.
