1. Kick because I do not know either

2. Someone contacted her publisher and received this reply

Found this at DKos: http://www.dailykos.com/comments/2006/9/25/184127/373/126#c126

I heard from publisher

I wrote to Dennis Franklin, publicist for Feminist Press at CUNY expressing our concern. Here is his response. It doesn't help alleviate our concern.

I’ve written Riverbend recently and received no response. We are concerned,yes; but I can say that

She has lived in different spots in Iraq for extended periods and during those times she’s gone silent.

On the otherhand, we’ve received no news, no bad news, about her condition.

9. Also at the DKos link from London Publisher:

Edit to add time stamp

We have not heard from Riverbend and are hoping that she has gone up to the North of Iraq, as she did for a few months last year. We have not had any bad news either, so we can just hope she is allright.
