E.L. James Celebrates Anastasia Steele's Birthday with Excerpt from New 'Fifty Shades' Book!

“Fifty Shades of Grey” franchise author E.L. James is celebrating the birthday of her character Anastasia Steele by sharing an excerpt from her upcoming book!

The writer is getting ready to release a new novel telling the events from “Fifty Shades Darker” from the perspective of Christian Grey. The book will “hopefully” be released sometime in 2017.

“Good morning, all. I know you’re anxiously awaiting the trailer, and that’s happening… soon. In the meantime, in honour of Ana’s birthday, there’s this,” E.L. captioned the excerpt on her Facebook account.

Last year, the novel “Grey,” which told the events of the first book from Christian’s perspective, was released.
