Author E L James announced on Instagram and on her website that a new Fifty Shades book told from troubled billionaire Christian Grey’s point of view will hit stores very soon. Grey, a new version of the story from Fifty Shades of Grey, will be released on June 18, 2015. As Fifty Shades fans might recall, June 18th is Christian’s birthday in the book series.
Commenting on the new book, James said, “This book is dedicated to those readers who asked…and asked…and asked…and asked for this.”
“Christian is a complex character and readers have always been fascinated by his desires and motivations, and his troubled past. Also, as anyone who has ever been in a relationship knows, there are two sides to every story. 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 team at Vintage,” she added.
The Fifty Shades book series has sold more than 125 million copies and James’ editor Anne Messitte said she was excited to re-open the story from a new point of view. “This book has all the compelling attributes of its predecessors,” said Messitte.
The second film of the Fifty Shades series, Fifty Shades Darker, will hit theaters on February 10, 2017. The third film, Fifty Shades Freed, will arrive on February 9, 2018.
