The aim of every author

by Colin R. Parsons on  June 29th, 2012 at  10:09 pm

E L James, author of Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades Freed and Fifty Shades Darker has done what all author's would love their novel's to do. Sell in their MILLIONS.

James's trilogy has become the fastest selling books in history. She is earning on average £850, 455.00 a week. That is totally amazing!  Her books so far have reportedly sold 4 million paperback copies and her ebooks 1 million downloads by June 2012. I honestly don't know what the reason is for the explosion of sales.

  The books are a soft porn series, that have appealed mainly, to women. They seem to be buying the erotic stories, by the bucket load. 

  It is reported, that because of the secrecy of the download phenomenon, women are buying them and reading them in private, where normally they wouldn't buy the paperback version in the shops.

 The story, due to the main male character ; Mr Grey, has a thrilling sexual adventure that is tailored to females rather than males.

 Not just women I would surmise are buying them though. I haven't read them myself, but I am totally amazed by the interest in the material. Especially, as there are probably plenty of this type of sexual content on the market.

  But, I take my hat off to Miss James. It does give us smaller author's hope that some day it could happen to us.
