NEW YORK - “Desperate Housewives” star Teri Hatcher will serve up life lessons in “Burnt Toast,” a book of advice and inspiration Hyperion plans to publish in the spring of 2006.

“I have had many women approach me, sharing their own stories, and ask me how it feels to have a second chance at 40,” Hatcher said in a statement released Tuesday by Hyperion. “With this book, I truly hope to reach everyone that I don’t bump into on the street and share my story.”

Hatcher won a Golden Globe in January. She recently received an Emmy nomination for her role as single mom Susan Mayer in “Desperate Housewives,” a dark satire about suburbia that became a hit in its debut season.

When she accepted her Golden Globe for best actress in a TV comedy, Hatcher thanked ABC for giving “me a second chance at a career when I couldn’t have been a bigger has-been.”

Hatcher starred in the ’90s TV series “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.” Her film credits include “Soapdish,” “Tomorrow Never Dies” and “Spy Kids.”
