We have written and published over thirty books since November 2015. Our books explore topics within the Alchemus Prime Diamond Model, including behavior change to address gender, trauma, climate change, leadership, and wellness challenges, to promote personal and planetary integrity. We also offer publishing services.
Here we describe our books chronologically:
The first is a collection of recipes entitled Food of Love; it contains stories of Marilyn’s journey as a cook and baker seeking to combine inspirations from nature, nutrition, and social justice. Her approach is a playful one, encouraging readers to experiment with her recipes and invent their own. This book is part of Alchemus Prime’s mission to develop win-win solutions through biomimetic and behavioral approaches. The recipes are organic, plant-based, accessible, fun to make, and adaptable to gluten-free and other preferences. Breakfast, soup, salad, side dishes, main courses, and desserts are included, as well as an herbal tea that Marilyn developed over the last several years to help ease colds and coughs. This work calls upon readers to enjoy and expand their own relationships with food and its source, nature.

We continue with our personal stories and undying love for healthy food and fusion cooking with Flavor of Love, our third recipe book, and twelfth in the chronology of our books.

Marilyn and Margaret are co-authors, with special guest author Nathaniel Cornelius.

With our thirteenth book, we delve into the crucial topic of self-love, and how it relates to confidence, self-respect, and overcoming harmful relationship patterns to find true love. This book, The Path to Romantic Success: What You Won’t Learn in School or at Home about Finding True Love, is about Marilyn’s life journey from childhood to now, and how the love of her life appeared after she did the hard work of practicing self-love, and overcoming negative patterns.

The second book in our leadership series, and our fourteenth book overall is about how to release the fear and unhealthy coping patterns that come from abuse and trauma. Entitled, From Abuse to Empowerment: Recognizing and Releasing Behavior Patterns that come from Trauma, this book’s acronym is FATE. We believe our fate is empowerment, and this is possible only when we decide to release trauma and victimhood. This book is difficult to read because it contains real stories from me and others about abuse. Each chapter contains questions for reflection. For anyone who is ready to face their trauma and work on letting it go, this book will serve as a guide. A course will accompany this book, and focus on helping participants actively release their trauma and embrace a creative, purposeful, and empowered life.
