For those of you who haven't heard of them Word Rescue and Math Rescue are two educational platformer games developed by Karen Crowther (now Karen Chun) from Redwood Games. You can buy them DRM-free on Steam, or directly from 3D Realms (the latter gives you a standalone installer).
https://3drealms.com/catalog/math-rescue_22/
https://3drealms.com/catalog/word-rescue_32/
Anyway, these two games were followed by Word Rescue Plus and Math Rescue Plus, which contained new levels (equal in length to the original games), and new music tracks. The Plus versions weren't published by Apogee but by Redwood Games themselves. I already own the regular version and been meaning to buy the Plus version, but kept putting it off.
Now that I decided to give those games a go, I noticed however that the Plus versions are no longer on sale.

This is a recent removal. I remember them being on sale not so long ago, and Web Archive shows that it was available at lease in 2018

I was told it was possibly removed because of Paypal's policy changes, but I'm not sure.
I contacted them using their email on the contact page, but got no reply (been 5 days now). Karen Chun has a blog, that's linked from the page http://karenchun.com/, last active in 2019, but there is no further contact there.
As a last resort, I also see she has 2 Facebook pages:
https://www.facebook.com/Hawaii-Political-Scene-Karen-Chun-257963300993962/
https://www.facebook.com/karen.chun.3
I don't use Facebook, but was wondering if anyone who does can see if it's possible to contact here through it. Could anyone help me here? Or if someone by any chance knows another way of contacting her.
Thanks
TLDR: Could anyone who uses Facebook help me contact Karen Chun (Crowther) from Redwood Games about the availability of Word Rescue Plus and Math Rescue Plus.
