Teri Hatcher is good at seeing opportunity. While she's becoming the center of the spotlight due to the success of the U.S. hit TV show "Desperate Housewives" where she stars in, she also is lending her hand at writing book.

The tell-all book the actress writes, "Burnt Toast: And Other Philosophies of Life", was said to be inspired by the birth of her daughter Emerson. It discusses Hatcher's views on life's numerous lessons, "Entertainment Tonight" reported.

Hatcher spills a bit about the book, her first ever, to Nancy O'Dell in a recent interview, saying "This book is about making you understand that you can be a good mother, you can be a good wife, you can be a good woman and still take your goodies for yourself".

"Burnt Toast" will be the featured point of discussion on an upcoming Amazon.com Webcast episode featuring comedian Bill Maher, the new host of "Amazon Fishbowl with Bill Maher".
