With little evidence, would-be author P.J. Larkin serves a “nibble” on the trendy new social-media app Crave, accusing editor George Dunn of stealing the novel she submitted to him for publication.

The nibble shoots to the top of the site’s “Popular Menu Items” and before you can say “unpaid literary labor,” George is fired, and his million-dollar debut book deal is put on hold. P.J.’s novel, based on the sexual assault of her sister, Mia, is snapped up amid the publicity, but is it P.J.’s story to tell? When Mia comes after P.J., and George proves his book is autobiographical, it’s P.J.’s turn to feel the public’s scorn.

Told in the humorous vein of Where’d You Go BernadetteA Complete Fiction is the story of two writers trying to navigate the minefields of modern publishing and social media.
