It seems like the hot trend in the world of fiction right now is erotic novels, mostly thanks to "Fifty Shades of Grey" lighting women's worlds on fire. Deadline reported on Sept. 20 that porn star Sasha Grey has added her name to the list of authors writing these steamy novels.
Grey's debut novel is titled "The Juliette Society" and has reached a publication deal with Beth de Guzman at Grand Central Publishing for the U.S. rights and Catherine Burke of Little, Brown for the U.K.
“For the very first time I can create my own world, my own characters, my own story, and express my own vision with publishers who are just as passionate about the subject matter as I am,” Grey said in a statement. “I’m not interested in trying to reinvent the erotic novel, but I look forward to taking it back to its source as a salacious treatment of sex, particularly female sexuality, as something mysterious and sensual. Me sensual? Go figure!”
Grey has an advantage over many of the women who write these romances because she has personal firsthand experience in the porn industry. She remains one of the porn industry's most recognizable names even though she stopped working in the business four years ago.
Most of the mainstream world knows her as Vinnie Chase's porn star girlfriend during "Entourage" as well as a star in the Steven Soderbergh movie, "The Girlfriend Experience."
The book is described as "Fight Club" set in a "highly sexualized world with an assertive female protagonist."
