EL James: The shy housewife behind Fifty Shades of Gray

As the writer of the most successful erotic novel in history, one would imagine that EL James lounges around in a kittenish silk negligee, perhaps dangling a leather bondage whip from her perfectly manicured fingers. The reality is rather different, however.

Instead of a leopard skin-clad dominatrix, she resembles a suburban school dinner lady.
