A Matter of Degrees is like no other lesbian fiction. This paranormal mystery explores conspiracy theories, Freemasonry, the Masons 33rd Degree, the Sumarians and much more. It is no wonder that Lisa Gardner, New York Times #1 bestselling author calls it "A rollercoaster ride of suspense," while other critics applaud, A Matter of Degrees "trumps The DaVinci Code."

Conspiracy theories ... Think you've heard them all? Think again ...
When Jessie Mercer's brother is murdered, she launches a no holds barred investigation but the clues dead-end at a male secret society. Resorting to extreme measures she dresses in drag and infiltrates the all-male world of Freemasonry only to learn the answers lie in the Masons' 33rd degree. Unknown to Jessie, in a previous life she failed to expose Freemasonry's royal secret. Can she reveal the truth about her brother's death and Freemasonry this time around?

A Matter of Degrees takes the story of world control by secret societies and the Catholic Church to a whole new level.

From the Inside Flap:

Alex Marcoux never aspired to be a writer, she wanted to be a police detective but her Leominister High School guidance counselor suggested she explore sciences, and soon found herself in the labs of General Foods working on the product development of Crystal Light Powdered Soft Drink. Something was missing in her life though, and after being stirred by Colorado's Amendment 2 anti-gay and lesbian initiative she took her hand at writing her first novel, Facades, earning her a Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers Pen Award. Back to Salem, Alex's second novel was a Lambda Literary Award Finalist for Best Lesbian Mystery. Her third novel, A Matter of Degrees, was a Gaylactic Spectrum nominee for Best Novel and Golden Crown Literary Award Finalist for Speculative Fiction. All three of Alex's novels were initially published by The Haworth Press and followed by Bella Books. While writing A Matter of Degrees, Alex used the process revealed in her creativity and spirituality book, Lifesigns: Tapping the Power of Synchronicity, Serendipity and Miracles (Jenness Press 2012), to plot the controversial suspense thriller.

Alex is an intuitive, inspirational speaker and student of various philosophies, including the Science of Mind and Spirit. She conducts workshops on creativity, inspirational writing and the Lifesign Process. Alex resides outside of Denver and is currently writing a couple novels, among other things.
