"I had a good time with it last year and just from a professional point of view, a business point of view, it proved to be very—how should I say it? It sold a lot of books. People watched the show and they became interested in me and they Google and they found out that I had written this book, ‘What Remains,' six years earlier and throughout the course of the season, I think that I sold close to 50,000 books," Carole told us. "To me, I look at it as a job, I've been working since I was 13, even through my marriage when my husband could have certainly paid my bills [Laughs]. But it's a job and I felt a little bit like maybe I'd be a quitter after just doing one season."

Last season, Carole was dating musician Russ Irwin, and this year's she's a "single girl, kind of about town."

"You'll see me go out on date. It's very hard, to be honest, to date on camera. It's very hard to see yourself dating…but I do go on dates, so you'll see that." But viewers will also get a look into the world of publishing as filming picked up the last steps of Carole's work on "The Widow's Guide." "A lot of my life is my work, so you'll see me meeting with editors and I record the audio book, do signings and press and stuff for the book," she said. "You'll see a lot of that. Then you'll see me complaining about my love life rather than participating in it."
