The Missing dropped on March 21st, I'm humbled by the attention so far, and it seems like a good time to gather all that's happened in one place. Looking ahead, if you're so moved, I welcome your reviews (and please don't hesitate to put those reviews on Amazon and Goodreads if you haven't already - it really helps), interviews, book clubs, festivals, panels, and whatever you may want to offer or suggest. Just let me know what it is and we'll get on it posthaste. Otherwise, what's happened already can be found below and thanks to all of you who've made it so.
