The S.E.C.R.E.T to selling erotic fiction beyond "Fifty Shades of Grey"

She calls herself L. Marie Adeline and her first erotic novel sent her Canadian publishers into 50 Shades of Ecstasy when - even before it was actually finished, the book was snapped up by publishers in more than 30 countries. The author of S.E.C.R.E.T still has the book world trying to guess who she really is but the book Industry knows what she's got. Today we're looking at the resurgence of erotica. It has leapt off the e-pages, propped up publishers and shown us the real seduction may be in the marketing. L. Marie Adeline exposes her secret and tells us her real name.
