Come celebrate the launch of local author Karuna Das's KAT'S CRADLE, the first book in the WEBOLUTION series.

“Kat&#x27;s Cradle ... is an inquiry into the nature of consciousness, evolution, and perspective that makes Kat just one of a series of strong characters whose lives intersect in ... its paradigm-changing inspection of humanity, spirituality, and forces beyond human ken.” — D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book ReviewBefore her brain started behaving strangely, Kat Porter&#x27;s biggest worries were her upcoming tenure review and her partner&#x27;s desire to start a family.Then she began unlocking abilities that bewildered her doctor and attracted a shadowy research firm intent on studying her at any cost.Aided by a group of mystics awaiting a prophet, Kat must now master her new powers before Neuro-Logic Industries and its government associates gain control of her brain, with or without the rest of her. Forced to flee her comfortable life in Seattle, Kat goes on a journey of discovery that takes her to the peaks of the Canadian Rockies and transforms her understanding of the world. What happens next might just birth an evolution in human consciousness.<a href="https://shop.riverstonebookstore.com/53-karuna-das" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Pre-order Kat&#x27;s Cradle now</a>Karuna Das (Sanskrit for “servant of compassion”) is the pen and spirit name of Kyle Bostian. Born in Wisconsin, he grew up in Massachusetts and presently resides in Pennsylvania, but he lives wherever he happens to be at that moment, feels at home everywhere in the universe, and steps through almost any door that opens to him. He holds a BA in English (UMass), an MFA in Playwriting (UW - Seattle), and a PhD in Theatre and Dramaturgy (FSU). He’s published drama in 24 Gun Control Plays (NoPassport Press), fiction in Meat for Tea, Catalyst, Pif Magazine, and ActiveMuse, and creative nonfiction and poetry in The Wayfarer. His unpublished novel Sex, Drugs &amp; Spiritual Enlightenment (but mostly the first two) was a semifinalist for the Mary Roberts Rinehart Fiction Award. Current projects include a sequel to Kat’s Cradle, a follow-up to SD&amp;SE, and a memoir about his relationship with his mother. He and life partner Tiffany “Ti” Wilhelm share their house with five wonderfully wacky cats.
