Mark Shapiro knows how to reveal the secrets of stars like no one else. His books about Stephenie Meyer, JK Rowling and other famous writers have become bestsellers and have been translated into many languages. Of course, he couldn’t help but be interested in the personality of E. L. James, the author of the “Fifty Shades” trilogy that became a world sensation. Why in interviews with E. L. James invariably emphasizes that she did not count on such great success and that the fame that befell her was more of a surprise? Is there something special in her life, something that would explain this success? And finally, how did she decide to write such a bold novel, shocking the Puritan-minded public? Fans of the trilogy will find answers to these and many other questions in the book by M. Shapiro.
