Meet the author behind the steamy 'Fifty Shades Of Grey' phenomenon

The first trailer for the "Fifty Shades of Grey" sequel was released Tuesday.

"Fifty Shades Darker" will be in theaters next year, but how much do you actually know about the author behind the series?

In 2012, the erotica trilogy by E.L James became a phenomenon dubbed "mommy porn."

Women openly read it without shame on the subway and went nuts fan-casting the full-length movie.

The raunchy books follow naive college student Anastasia Steele and her billionaire boyfriend Christian Grey; however, you probably do not know much about series' creator.
