“Fifty Shades of Grey” Author EL James announces new novel “The Mister”

E L James, the author of the popular Fifty Shades of Grey and the subsequent series of books, announced her next novel will be titled “The Mister.”

“I’m so excited to finally get this passionate new romance out into the world,” James said in a statement. “It’s a Cinderella story for the twenty-first century. Maxim and Alessia have led me on a fascinating journey and I hope that my readers will be swept away by their thrilling and sensual tale, just as I was while writing, and that, like me, they fall in love with them.”

A contemporary romance set in London, Cornwall and Eastern Europe, the steamy novel introduces readers to privileged and aristocratic young Englishman Maxim Trevelyan and the mysterious, talented and beautiful Alessia Demachi, who’s recently arrived in London owning little more than a dangerous and troublesome past.

The book is now available for pre-ordering from Amazon, and “The Mister” will be available in bookstores on April 16.

The “Fifty Shades” series was adapted into a trilogy of films starring Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan in 2015. All three films collectively have grossed $1.3 billion worldwide at the box office.
