Am cunningly trading on the current mania for rude stories to revive and flog a lot of my own old stuff. And was just having a flick through the one that's going up as an Ebook, and one of the sodding characters has the surname Grey, and he's a Nice male dom as opposed to the villainous one (who gets what he deserves later on).
SHould I do a quick find-change on the document and turm him into Mr Smith instead?

It's incredibly common as a name in romance novels. Have you not noticed before? Regencies esp.

If you had characters called Mr Black and Mr White it would be obvious which was the good guy. Grey is ambiguous.

Call him Mr Willoughby.

Sod what he's called, is it better written than 50 Shades? Can we review it for you Grin?

Leaf: Yes. I think I can fairly say it's better written, and I plan to do so Grin I'm putting it on Ebay not Amazon as I am too lazy and broke to get an ISBN number for it. But I will post a link later if you like.

He married a life sized doll.
