![]() Erika had been working in TV as a head of production, and she was great at her job, but never really happy. I've been a TV screenwriter for 20-odd years, and I've made a decent living at it, but I was tired of having my best ideas mangled by the process. I'm the least romantic fecker that ever lived - ask my wife Erika, aka EL James.īoth our books were born out of frustration. What modern novelist doesn't envy EL James, the 40-something TV executive and mother of two who has outsold Dan Brown and Stieg Larsson, turbo-boosted bookshop turnover, and left men the world over begging for less sex and more sleep? But my book is a gritty urban murder mystery Fifty Shades is an erotic romantic fantasy, and I couldn't have written it in a million years. ![]() Perceptive reviewers have noted that the hero's father, Maguire, is an embittered Irish hack consumed with envy of his peers. If on entering your bookshop you can find your way past the teetering stacks of EL James's Fifty Shades trilogy, you might come across a slim new crime novel, Crusher. ![]()
