I loved it!

“As a person who has spent the majority of my life seeking the truth regarding reality and our place within it, I was intrigued and excited to read Gods in the Game. I soon realized this was no book to read, understand, and enjoy in an afternoon. Honestly, I will probably begin reading it again soon. The book helped me with some questions I have been struggling with for a long time while at the same time bringing forward many more questions I haven’t even thought about. It awakened the realization that my human experience during my waking hours is only one part of my existence. My relationship with everything around me is connected to an incredible dimensionality to my existence. If you have ever questioned WHY on any level, this book, as well as Destination New Earth and others by Alex Marcoux, are a must-read.”

Alex’s voice in Gods in the Game serves as an oasis in the midst of all the chaos on Planet Earth at this juncture. Her voice is helping us to make sense of and gain a deeper understanding of what is actually going on. There is a new paradigm emerging that some call a higher consciousness. While it is wildly liberating and the answer to many of our prayers, it is also shocking to the nervous system in its being unfathomably outside the box of what we have always believed.
The most important takeaway in my opinion is that ultimately we are sovereign beings and far more powerful than we have ever been told. Yet this knowledge lies deep in our souls and has only been forgotten. Alex is here to remind us of that and awaken us to start owning and taking back that sovereign power.
The owning of our true sovereign power and using it consciously rather than unconsciously, as we have been doing, will be the “bricks and mortar” in the building of The New Earth. As a fellow builder on this path for more than 50 years, I have been alone for the most part in my exploration of these evolutionary ideas. Alex is a voice coming out to reassure me and all the world that this is real and happening here and now.
With great appreciation for the light you are shining, Alex!

I started reading Alex Marcoux’s newest book with great interest and open-mindedness. I have read and enjoyed all of her books, most notably her recent ones – The Unsuspected Heroes, Destination New Earth, and now Gods in the Game. Alex has a wonderful way of explaining the challenges we humans face in these current chaotic times and the forces at play working for us behind the scenes. I was fascinated with reading about these gods and higher beings that are helping us to achieve a greater understanding of higher consciousness for ascension to the New Earth. This book expands on the last one, challenging our traditional notions of autism and organized religion, as well as a couple of other controversial subjects. I enjoy a book that teaches and gives hope that we are all here for a reason, working for the greater good. This one does that and more. Looking forward to the next book!

“Gods in the Game” aims to uncover truths and help heal the world.
Alex Marcoux and Shauna Kalicki introduced readers to the message of humanity’s sovereignty and the Divine Blueprint in their first book, Destination New Earth. In their latest book, Gods in the Game, they explore autism as part of a person’s Blueprint and explain the differences between awakening, enlightenment, and ascension. They also delve into the battle between light and darkness and the various dimensions. The authors emphasize the importance of being authentic, showing love and compassion to others, and how it can help someone gain access to different dimensions. The book covers a wide range of topics, including consciousness, source consciousness, planetary shift, psychic mediums, and ascended masters. These topics are aimed at educating those who have awakened and those who are in the process of awakening.Gods in the Game is an informative book that aims to uncover truths about humanity and help heal the world. It delves into various issues people often avoid, such as wealth distribution and how a small minority of elites control the world narrative and manipulate things to their advantage. The book is well-structured, covering some controversial religious topics that may trigger sensitive readers. However, author Alex Marcoux and contributors Shauna Kalicki, Daniel, and Connie carefully break down each point to ensure readers fully understand the book’s message. Most of the topics discussed are familiar, making it easy for readers to connect with them and grasp the concepts. They gradually build on each topic, taking readers on a step-by-step journey of how dimensions work, the history of Lemuria, and many other points. I enjoyed reading this book because it offered a fresh perspective and new insight. Overall, it is well-written and enlightening.

Enjoyable. “Gods in the Game” reveals many truths about living your authentic self and finding your Divine Blueprint.”
Gods in the Game is a spiritual guide co-written by Alex Marcoux, Shauna Kalicki, Daniel, and Connie. Its purpose is to help people awaken to different dimensions and to encourage them to live a more authentic life, like lions instead of lambs. The book inspires readers to bravely join the Light team and fight for peace, equality, and justice for all. It delves into topics such as the gift of autism, different dimensions and consciousness, and the shift that separated us from the source and led to our descent. The authors provide insights on Lemuria, ascended beings, and coronavirus vaccines. They give readers a bigger picture of how those in power control the world and how humanity is headed toward self-destruction.
Gods in the Game is a well-written and detailed book that provides many insights into new possibilities. The authors have compiled a plethora of topics related to the spiritual realm. Each topic is well-explained, and the book has a smooth flow, with each chapter moving perfectly into the next. Many people may be skeptical because much of the information within this book by Alex Marcoux is channeled by Shauna Kalicki and from the Ascended Master Mother Mary, the Ethereal Autist Daniel, and Cerian. However, readers need to be open to new ideas to understand these concepts without bias. The book reveals many truths about living your authentic self and finding your Divine Blueprint. It has beautiful messages about oneness and spreading love, which is something we need today. Overall, this is an enjoyable read.

Alex Marcoux’s 7th book takes you on a deeper path through a higher awakening of our minds, energy, and soul enlightenment. Gods in the Game is about living your truth to orchestrate your architectural divine blueprint to being your authentic self. In Cerian’s words that were channeled in this book states energy can not be created or destroyed but can be transformed. The information shared allows the reader to explore the difference between Energy Consciousness and Source Consciousness to work towards our individual awakening and connection to this energy within us.

I want to tell you a little bit about a novel I just finished reading entitled “Back to Salem” by Alex Marcoux.
This was a perfect winter book and would be a great beach book. Basically, it is a mystery book with some historical edges involving several lesbian characters. It was light and delightful but had some interesting twists and turns. I felt the development of the relationships between the women was a bit more substantial than the typical lesbian romance novel, and Alex’s ability to tell a good mystery was as good as any Sue Grafton book I have read. I want to thank Haworth Press for sending me this book; I have not only enjoyed it but also had a couple of friends read it, and they both enjoyed it.
Alex also wrote “Facades,” which I look forward to reading. Alex was born in Massachusetts and now lives in Colorado with her partner and son. She was presented a Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers’ Pen Award for “Facades,” her first novel. She is also apparently working on a sequel to “Back to Salem,” which I am really excited about. I also logged into Alex’s website at www.alexmarcoux.com and understand that “Back to Salem” is a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Mystery (good for her).

“The Unsuspected Heroes” is a fast-paced visionary tale with a phenomenal conflict, multidimensional characters, and resonant themes. Alex Marcoux’s work is hugely imaginative and thought-provoking.
The Unsuspected Heroes: A Visionary Fiction Novel (A Journey to the New Earth) by Alex Marcoux is for readers who enjoy genuinely imperfect heroes. In this metaphysical, visionary tale, the world faces an impending apocalypse and is on the verge of destruction. Ami is an ascended master who has gone through so much pain and has now reincarnated to lead humanity to the New Earth, but she is trapped in an autistic body and cannot speak. While the danger grows stronger and more imminent, Ami must connect with others like herself to rescue humanity. But time isn’t on her side, plus her mortal condition is a challenge.
There is so much to enjoy in this epic tale and the reader is instantly drawn to Ami. I enjoyed the fact that the author put an ascended master into the shell of an autistic person. She is limited, and her struggles include the fact that she has no memory of who she is. When she begins to understand what is at stake, she struggles with her flawed physicality. The author explores strong and evocative topics, engaging readers with an interesting reflection on evolutionary themes and describing the decline of human civilization compellingly. Some interesting neologisms and concepts will have readers thinking. A hero who suffers from autism is an aspect of the plot that had me fascinated. The Unsuspected Heroes is a fast-paced visionary tale with a phenomenal conflict, multidimensional characters, and resonant themes. Alex Marcoux’s work is hugely imaginative and thought-provoking.

“Destination New Earth” is a bold look at the unfolding shift of consciousness that is sweeping the planet, whether or not all of humankind is even aware of it.
The long-awaited shift of consciousness is with us and Destination New Earth takes a refreshing new approach in guiding readers. Author Alex Marcoux enlists the help of psychic channel Shauna Kalicki, in collaboration with Connie and her autistic son Daniel. The book takes an in-depth look at the awakening process, with its many facets. It is made clear from the outset that the New Earth is already here, but we need to engage with it by raising our consciousness. The immediate goal is ascension, to be achieved by increasing our vibrational level, as well as tuning in to the planet, which is also experiencing spiritual evolution. The result is that many people are battling to keep up with the new energies and are feeling physical symptoms ranging from ringing in the ears to joint pain, vertigo, skin problems, and a host of similar ailments. These are not readily acknowledged by the medical profession but are clues to the increase in vibrational levels. Alex reminds us that we are spiritual beings who can potentially create our reality. She does not predict a final cataclysm to end the world. Instead, readers are encouraged to take personal responsibility and prepare themselves spiritually. The rules of the game are explored and she cautions that the fine print is often hidden and that we live in a world of illusions. The book is dedicated to all those on the path and they will be drawn to read it.
Destination New Earth is a bold look at the unfolding shift of consciousness that is sweeping the planet, whether or not all of humankind is even aware of it. Alex Marcoux explains the methodology used in the channeling, acknowledging that anomalies do occur due to the density of our third-dimensional understanding and difficulties in the transmission of messages from the Masters. The question of autism is dealt with empathetically and sets the record straight on the many misconceptions surrounding it. The book delves further into our spiritual history and the role of off-planet influences. Advice from the Ascended Masters is included and reincarnation is explained, along with a warning that difficult times lie ahead as the vibrational levels increase. Systems will crumble and relationships will be challenged. It must be understood that this book is neither a conspiracy theory nor an attempt to discredit organized religion. It is concluded with an excellent glossary of terms that may be unfamiliar to some readers. This book is a sincere attempt to answer pressing spiritual questions, offering practical guidance on the road ahead for those seeking spiritual truth, and should be read with an open mind.

“Destination New Earth is a groundbreaking revelation and winner! Captivating! A clever collaboration that brings thought-provoking mystical wisdom, insights, and multi-dimensional viewpoints, written in such a brilliant way that even those unfamiliar with the intel and language could easily digest. If you are open-minded or sense something monumental is happening on Earth, and to humanity, this book is a great resource. It will open your mind to the world of those labeled autistics and channelers unlike any you have ever seen or heard before! A masterpiece for the ages, indeed!”

THIS BOOK IS A GIFT! It is a BLUEPRINT AND GUIDE for the times we are living in. It is witness to the realization of spiritual awareness of autist consciousness and the wisdom of the ages. It asks us to WAKE UP and raise our frequency to the wisdom of harmonic love. Allow yourself to SOAK WITH EVERY WORD, for the sacredness of the exposure and inquiry from each word reveals a greater advancement of the COSMIC TRUTH of individuals and our New Earth.

Have you ever wondered what all this New Earth stuff is about? This THOUGHT-PROVOKING book will answer some of those questions, even some you didn’t realise you had! As a parent to an autistic child with ADHD, I resonate with the vision of these special members of humanity as being the next step in our evolutionary process and harbingers of the New Earth. Destination New Earth clarified that vision and helped me see even more of the BIGGER PICTURE. A GREAT READ!

I LOVED “Destination New Earth.” This book takes you on a deeper dive with some beautiful content and MIND-EXPANDING concepts. If you are new to metaphysical books, suspend disbelief as you read and keep an open mind—you won’t be disappointed. The more seasoned mystical reader will not be disappointed. This take on channeling and telepathy is pertinent as we go deeper into ascension and the collective becoming more aware of our divine selves.”

“BRILLIANT! The Unsuspected Heroes is more “real” than most can imagine. A multidimensional journey into the world of a master, who is disguised within the diagnosis with autism.”

“I LOVED The Unsuspected Heroes. It spoke to my heart as a parent of a multidimensional Autist. It would have helped me with my daughter during her childhood years. Beautiful insights and a means to open (to) a new perspective of ‘autism.’ We have a responsibility to co-create a radically new reality based on the Law of One … these Autists are here to facilitate. Easy to read and EXCITING! Read it with an open mind and heart. I excitedly await the next installment!” Learn More >

“FASTEN YOUR SEATBELT and prepare for a wild ride. In A Matter of Degrees, Alex Marcoux has brilliantly twisted religion, Freemasonry, reincarnation, and Egyptian mysticism into a rollercoaster ride of suspense. Think you know what will happen next? Think again!”
“In A Matter of Degrees, author Alex Marcoux—who has been called the “lesbian Dan Brown”— trumps The Da Vinci Code because she doesn’t just take on the Vatican and the Sacred Feminine, but builds on the anti-Biblical and the seemingly interconnected world of fraternal organizations, including the oldest and largest: the Freemasons… Marcoux does a brilliant job of snagging even the most reluctant reader in the intrigue, in ancient myths and history, in the grand-conspiracy theory of world control that, even after nearly 300 pages, you hate to have her wrap up.”
“Back to Salem has it all, mystery, suspense, reincarnation, Salem Witch Trials, and lesbian fiction; making this Lambda Literary Award Finalist like no other paranormal romance book. If you’re looking for the unusual—something FRESH, COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, AND MARVELOUSLY ENTERTAINING—then read this book. Marcoux’s writing is superb. You won’t be able to put the book down. An entertaining novel with a lot of twists and turns.”
“Alex Marcoux is a rare writer. She can weave AN ENGROSSING, EXCITING, AND ROMANTIC TALE THAT LEAVES YOU TOTALLY SATISFIED and wondering when the next book will be written. Back to Salem is a compelling story, and Alex is a welcome voice in the literary world.”
“Every reader of supernatural or paranormal will be instantly enthralled in this FAST-PACED, ROMANTIC DRAMA THAT WILL LEAVE YOU BREATHLESS and yearning for more. Alex Marcoux’s well developed and fascinating characters in A Matter of Degrees will keep readers on the edge of their seats and eagerly anticipating when next they’ll meet. Brava to a wonderful writing talent!”
“The transition Alex has made from fiction to non-fiction in a field as complex as the psychic/spiritual/intuitive is clearly an outstanding success. She has brought clarity and understanding to a field full of a great deal of “woo-woo.” Her journey is one that illustrates how to integrate left, and right brain process approaches into our everyday life. Lifesigns is a must-read for those genuinely interested in exploring more of who they are.”
Read Lifesigns: Tapping the Power of Synchronicity, Serendipity and Miracles, and you’ll be a mystery to yourself no longer!
When asked if they’ve ever experienced anything that suggests that reality isn’t exactly like they taught us in school, many people will mention strange coincidences. Perhaps the most common is that the person was thinking about a long-lost friend when the phone rings and it’s that friend calling. Some shrug it off as a coincidence, others call it “creepy,” while other folks pay closer attention in the future to be aware of further clues about this mystery. And that is exactly what Alex Marcoux has done. What’s more, being an accomplished author, she’s shared with us her story searching those clues, and it’s fun and educational to read. Alex is able to move beyond a personal account because she has studied her material, done her research, engaged in further education. The result is that with this book she can guide the reader into making personal discoveries about these mysteries—yes, there’s more than one. The greatest mystery of all is the hidden potential within each of us. Read Lifesigns: Tapping the Power of Synchronicity, Serendipity and Miracles, and you’ll be a mystery to yourself no longer!
“Life would become easier and richer if we could converse with the Universe, and my life has also become richer for reading this excellent book. In Lifesigns, Marcoux tells us not only how to interpret these signs from the Universe, but how to call for the signs. By doing this, you truly become part of the process. I highly recommend Lifesigns: Tapping the Power of Synchronicity, Serendipity and Miracles. This is the best book about interpreting synchronicities that I have ever read!”
“A multilayered story of intertwining lives and loves. FAST-PACED AND SUSPENSEFUL, this novel will sweep you into an exciting world of conflict and intrigue and the ultimate conspiracy.”
“MARCOUX KEEPS YOU GLUED TO THE PAGES. My wife got to this book before I did, and I had to wait for her to finish raving about it so I could form my own opinion. The book draws you into the characters’ lives; you care about what happens and become involved with the story. Façades addresses many issues faced by lesbians.”
“RICH AND WELL WRITTEN. . .. ONE OF THE BEST NEW NOVELS I have had the pleasure of reading in a long time! If you’re looking for an entertaining way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon, curling up with Alex Marcoux’s Façades is the way to do it. I found myself simply fascinated with the characters Marcoux brought to life and transfixed with the skillfully woven storyline.”
“Back to Salem is a POTENT witches’ brew of romantic mystery. A NAIL-BITING tale of how love can last through the ages—and we CAN’T WAIT for the next installment.”
“Alex Marcoux has created A METAPHYSICAL MYSTERY THAT INFORMS, ENTERTAINS, and makes me want to go have a past-life regression. Her work is well crafted, interweaving past, and present with flawless detail. You’ll find yourself in Salem during the horrific witch hunts of the 1690s, as well as in the present-day cut-throat film industry. This GENDER-BENDING THRILLER is reminiscent of Kenneth Branagh’s Dead Again, but with more highly developed characters. Marcoux is AN EXCEPTIONAL NEW TALENT that definitely should be read in this lifetime.”
“In Façades, ALEX MARCOUX SHREWDLY COMBINES ENTERTAINMENT AND ENLIGHTENMENT. Through a myriad of voices, each brilliantly portrayed, Marcoux addresses societal issues brightly and wittily. ILLUMINATES THE POWER OF LOVE AND COMPASSION and will leave few readers untouched.”
“Love this book! Alex is clearly a master author. Rarely do I come across a book that resonates with me on “that” level; a book that just happened to be what I wanted or needed to read at that exact time! She interweaves metaphysical concepts and practices with real-life stories and examples. It is this careful and personal crafting that makes this book a true masterpiece. Alex succeeds in making the material quite applicable and relative as she connects to the reader personally. Lifesigns is a must-read! I give it 10 out of 5 Stars!”
“Back to Salem is ENGROSSING, IMAGINATIVE! A thought-provoking journey from contemporary Los Angeles to colonial New England as her two heroines-a novelist/screenwriter and a singer/songwriter-explore their connections, the sources of their creativity, karmic disruptions, and mysterious deaths. Leading up to a NAIL-BITING, THOROUGHLY SATISFYING FINALE.”
“Back to Salem is the perfect combination of metaphysics, mystery, love, and adventure. Alex Marcoux has captured a relationship that transcends time … it makes us hope to find something like it for ourselves … Believable and compelling! I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.”
“I COULDN’T PUT IT DOWN! A Matter of Degrees is a riveting look at the Freemasons and conspiracy theories with a paranormal twist—a must-read for any Dan Brown devotee. This book is for anyone who ever wondered what happened behind the closed doors of a secret, all-male society, and for anyone captivated by strong women who aren’t afraid of operating outside of the box.”
“If you were drawn into the contemplation of ancient secrets and the societies who still guard them today by Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code, GO ONE STEP FURTHER and infiltrate one of those societies, the Freemasons, in Alex Marcoux’s vividly imagined new novel, A Matter of Degrees. Moreover, for those who like suspense meted out by strong women, THERE ARE HEROINES HERE WITH COURAGE TO SEND CHILLS UP YOUR SPINE-AND TO BREAK YOUR HEART.”
“Mix a little Dan Brown conspiracy with a little Philip K. Dick sci-fi and what do you get? A Matter of Degrees, the new blockbuster mystery thriller by Alex Marcoux! Weaving A GENRE-BENDING TALE OF CONSPIRACY, COVER-UPS, AND MURDER, Marcoux returns to the game with beloved characters from her earlier novels Façades and Back to Salem, bringing them together in an explosive mix of spine-tingling action! A Matter of Degrees IS AN OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD READ and SHOULD NOT BE MISSED!”
“A Matter of Degrees by Alex Marcoux crosses literary boundaries the same way that it crosses centuries, nations, and time and space itself. Marcoux skillfully weaves ancient tales of the mystery religion of ancient Egypt into the present-day mystery, yet carefully conceals how the two interrelate until the very end. The tale is FILLED WITH TWISTS AND TURNS, and the revelations at the end should surprise even the most jaded mystery reader. A HEART-THUMPING RIDE through Jessie’s world as she searches for her brother’s killer and finds much more than she bargained for. This page-turner WILL FULFILL THE FONDEST WISHES OF THOSE WHO LIKE A NICE THICK, MEATY, MYSTERY READ.”
“Fans of Marcoux’s other books will welcome the return of Jessie Mercer and her lover, Taylor Andrews, from Back to Salem and mentions of Sidney and Anastasia from Façades. In addition, the Freemasons, the Sumerians, the Catholic Church, the Trilateral Commission, and other secret societies are all players in this WELL-RESEARCHED THRILLER.”
Lifesigns: Tapping the Power of Synchronicity, Serendipity and Miracles is wonderful. I love the insights, revelations, stories, and exercises. It will give your readers many ways to look at the information and support their growth. The truck driver in the snow story was incredible. I loved the insights that you had about the hummingbirds and how it might have correlated to my life. I think you are absolutely correct.
