'50 Shades' author EL James just an ordinary mom at home

Washington: E.L. James, who sold over 125 million copies of her erotic ' Fifty Shadestrilogy,' is just an ordinary mumaccording to her friends and family.

Sources say that the 51-year-old author, who recently announced a sequel to her erotic trilogy entitled ' Grey', has not changed even after her incredible success, reported People magazine.

According to the author's neighbour, she does normal things like any mother, for e.g. looking after her kids and going to the local supermarket, and one wouldn't recognise her when she's out in public.

Despite of the fact that she lives in a mansion worth 2.65 million pounds with six bedrooms and bathrooms on a large plot, she hangs out at the same spots as everyone else in the neighborhood.

When she is in Los Angeles, James likes to sit in the garden with her British girlfriends and have cocktails.
