Fifty Shades of Grey was published quietly by The Writers' Coffee Shop, a small independent Australian publisher, in June 2011. Within months, it shot to the top of The New York Times Best Sellers List (where it remains), appeared on the March 21st cover of Entertainment Weekly, and was discussed on "Good Morning America". The film rights have been sold to Universal Pictures and Focus Features.
In Fifty Shades of Grey and its sequels, Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed, Anastasia Steele, a virginal college student, can't say no to dashing 27-year-old Christian Grey. In their first sexual encounter, Grey unveils his silver tie and binds her wrists together. Steele then does as she is told. Interest in the work of E.L. James continues to grow in the ECRL service area.
