The sensational self-published trilogy, FIFTY SHADES OF GREY by E L James -- an internationally bestselling online phenomenon -- will now be published by Vintage Books. The Fifty Shades trilogy features Anastasia (Ana) Steele, a young college graduate who enters into a highly-charged romance with a 27-year-old billionaire, Christian Grey. The story began as Twilight fanfiction before the author expanded it into three novels. With its absorbing characters and moving yet witty storyline, the novels have attracted a passionate following. Dubbed “The Book” by devoted fans, and “mommy porn” by media pundits, the books have already sold 250,000 copies to date – almost all as ebooks.
