Do you like gossip, stories, and old Hollywood Tales? We have one for you!

Shelley Herman is an Emmy-nominated writer whose career began as an NBC Page in Burbank, CA. A graduate of Agoura High School and California State University, Northridge, Shelley has written over 1000 hours of television shows, contributed to numerous books for Dove/Phoenix Books, starred in the TV series Off the Wall, and Night Rap, and co-hosted ESPN's Battle of The Monster Trucks and Mud Bog Spectacular. In addition, Shelley has guest-starred on numerous TV shows and hosted eight infomercials and national talk radio programs, and is a member of SAG/AFTRA, Writers Guild of America, West and The Television Academy She and her husband, actor Randall Carver, live in Los Angeles, where they feed every stray animal in their neighborhood.

"I'm not ashamed of anything," says showbiz veteran Shelley Herman about stories recounted in her new book, My Peacock Tale: Secrets Of An NBC Page. "There's nothing in this book that anyone should be ashamed of, because the lessons we learned, the people we met, made us who we are now. We had a lot of fun and if we could, we'd do it all over again!"

More than a memoir, My Peacock Tale is a playful mix of "Sex and the City" and "Mad Men" – set against the backdrop of Hollywood (and beautiful downtown Burbank!) in the 1970s. It's not just about the stories and memories of Herman's own time as a 20-something NBC Studios Page in Burbank - handed "the keys to the kingdom" and assigned gatekeeper to showbiz royalty. It's also about the lifelong friendships she formed with fellow Pages, whose own wild and crazy formative experiences are also tastefully recounted and unabashedly celebrated.
