For fans of The Office and 30 Rock

The stars of the fictional TV sitcom Pet Peeves take you on a behind-the-scenes tour of the egos, the backstabbing, and the secret crushes never meant to make it on air.

Meet the dashing actor, the diva, and the doofus

Wade Hanson, the leading man, has the look, voice, and acting chops of a local TV news anchor.

Bronwyn Davies, a soap opera ingénue, treats the cast of each show on which she appears like her own personal dating app.

Austen Hughes, a stand-up comic, is desperate enough to do anything to land a steady gig.

Their points of view have been stitched together into a collective oral history that tells the story of Pet Peeves from its creation through the series finale in this mockumentary-styled novel.

Book 3 of the Ellen the Harpist series is now available!

A wedding hall still under construction, an ex who wants to win her back, and a fiancé m.i.a. have Ellen the Bride singing the wedding blues.
