The copyrights have reverted back to me for <i>Karma and Mayhem</i> and the book will no longer be available from Soul Mate Publishing. However, in 2017, I will be reissuing the story and it will once again be available to readers. The book will have a new cover and include the recipes for the original bloody-red drink, the punch, the cookies, and a new recipe for the relaunch.<br />
<br />
I maintain a private mailing list through MailChimp to send out bulletins (no more than once a month). If you wish to be notified when this new edition will be available, or the progress being made toward the new launch or the new cover, please go to: <a href="http://www.catherineemclean.com/connect-with-catherine-form.html">http://www.catherineemclean.com/connect-with-catherine-form.html </a><br />
