The book, titled "Grey," will be published on June 18, which
is the character's birthday.
"In the new book, (James) will offer her fans the opportunity to
see the world of 'Fifty Shades' anew through the eyes of its
intriguing and enigmatic protagonist," Vintage Books, a division
of Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, said in a statement.
James, who made her announcement of the new book on the
Instagram website, said she wrote it in response to fans who
have been asking for Christian's point of view.
"Christian is a complex character," the British writer said,
"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."
The book will be published in Britain on the same day and will
be available as an eBook and in audio and Spanish-language
editions.
The trilogy about the erotic relationship between a college
student, Anastasia Steele, and business tycoon Grey, has sold
more than 125 million copies and is one of the most successful
series in the history of publishing.
The first book was also turned in an R-rated film starring
Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan, which has earned more than $500
million at the global box office. Film adaptations of the second
and third books are planned.
