FIFTY SHADES OF GREY BOOK 6 RELEASE DATE SERIES
The first novel in the series has since been adapted for film, starring Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan.
The British author, who worked in television for 25 years before turning to fiction, spent 133 consecutive weeks on the New York Times bestseller lists with her Fifty Shades trilogy. The creator of that world, Stephenie Meyer, also worked on a novel told from the perspective of her vampire hero Edward, rather than her heroine Bella - but decided not to publish it after it was leaked online. There’s no post-honeymoon Grey family brunch, where this discussion takes place in the book, either. James’ stories, Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed, originally began as fan fiction set in the Twilight universe. There’s no discussion of a pre-nup in the movie. What is it about her that captivates him? Why can’t he forget her? He is swept up in a storm of emotion he cannot comprehend and cannot resist,” said the publisher, part of the Random House Group.Įditor Selina Walker promised that Grey was “just as addictive as the trilogy”, and added that she was “absolutely thrilled when we heard that Erika wanted to write Christian’s side of the story”. “His world is neat, disciplined and empty – until the moment that Anastasia Steele stumbles into his office. Her publisher Arrow said the character of Christian was “someone who exercises control in all aspects of his life”. The opening page of Grey: Fifty Shades of Grey as Told By Christian sees the novelist write: “This book is dedicated to those readers who asked … and asked … and asked … and asked for this.” It’s been a great pleasure to return to my happy place – writing, being with Christian and Ana in their universe, and working with the fantastic publishing teams in the US and the UK.” Also, as anyone who has ever been in a relationship knows, there are two sides to every story.
“Christian is a complex character,” said James in a statement provided by her publisher, “and readers have always been fascinated by his desires and motivations, and his troubled past. The author told her first three novels from the perspective of Steele, an innocent who is drawn into a relationship with Grey and who is prone to comments like “my inner goddess is doing the merengue with some salsa moves” as she moves further into his erotic world. The book will be called Grey, and will be published on 18 June – the character’s birthday. James, who has sold more than 125m copies of her books that detail the burgeoning BDSM relationship between shy student Anastasia Steele and businessman Grey, made the announcement on Twitter on Monday.
