“Shade of Grey” E.L. James coming to CT’s

Was there any doubt the “naughty never felt so good” “Fifty Shades of Grey” would become the #1 trade fiction bestseller hours after hitting book stores earlier this month?

And is there any doubt that R.J. Julia’s Roxanne Coady would be the one to get the naughty novel’s bestselling author, E.L. James to Connecticut, two weeks after books #2 and #3 of the erotic trilogy also hit book stores this week?

That’s the plan. The English author, whose other two “Grey” books, “Fifty Shades Darker” and “Fifty Shades Freed” hit bookstores on Tuesday , will be in Connecticut on May 2 for a girls night out event at the Omni Hotel in New Haven.

This from event sponsor R.J. Julia:

“E. L. James sits down with Roxanne Coady, owner of RJ Julia Booksellers, for a girls night out on Wednesday, May 2. This sexy book, sweeping the nation by force has pushed its way to the top of the bestseller list. Save the date and get a behind-the-scenes look at this tale of misbehaved romance.”
