The Missing

On Friday, I might be recording a Heinemann Podcast.  I'm scheduled to do this, so I don't know why I'm writing MIGHT.  When you think about it, though, anything can happen between now and Friday.  I'll let you know how/if it goes and when/if you can hear the conversation.
I'm curious about the book.  In our back and forth journey, the book is now in the publisher's hands and I haven't seen it for a few weeks.  I wonder how it's doing and feeling.  I know it has friends at Heinemann, but does it miss me or need me?  I hope we're back together again soon.
