Tom and I were childhood best friends. And were convinced that we were funny. So convinced that, when we grew up, we drove across the country to make our mark writing comedy in Los Angeles. And against all odds, we did. Until one day, Tom told me something about himself. Something shocking, something I never expected. A secret that would change everything. Our friendship had survived the hellish halls of High School and the cut-throat studios of Hollywood. But would it survive this? A work of fiction inspired by true events, "PRONOUN PROBLEMS" is the hilarious and heartbreaking story about what happens to a guys' friendship when one of them stops being a guy. (Cover by the talented and oh-so-patient @Lucyface, aka Lucy Rhodes.)

"So, then you are who I think you are?" I ask. He pulls the scarf down again to expose his mouth and gives me a wry smile. "Depends on who it is you think I am, I suppose." His face gives nothing away but there's a twinkle in his eye. I bite my lip feeling shy all of a sudden. "Um, I'm Francesca. My friends call me Frankie." I tell him. If it's not him then I can be on my way and home in ten minutes and he'll be just a lunatic hiker who picked the wrong month to go explore the great outdoors. Then he'll freeze and die and I'll have a strangers death on my conscience and not the death of an A-list actor I've had a crush on for ten years. "Nice to meet you Frankie," he says. "I'm Tom. But my friends call me Tommy. I'd shake your hand but I reckon I might lose it you know? It's probably halfway gone already." He flexes his fingers to check the life in them. And I'm no longer calm. Ok. So this was happening. I'd been stopped by a hitchhiking Tom Hardy on a remote desolate island in the middle of a bloody snowstorm.

When a woman from their past comes hurtling back into their lives after eight years, Christian Grey and Gideon Cross must navigate their way through a web of secrets and lies which threaten to destroy them. At the same time they must both confront their love of the same woman, and the night that changed all of their lives forever. This is NOT the story you know. Neither is it an extension of Ana and Christian's love story. For context, this story takes place in the same universe as Fifty Shades of Grey, but a few days prior to the events of the first book. ** This story contains very strong language and scenes of a sexual nature and is intended for mature audiences only** The legal bit: I do not own the characters of Christian Grey or Gideon Cross. These are the creations of E.L James and Sylvia Day respectively.
