Unfortunately, no. They may be just finalizing anything they need to do with it.

Thanks for the link John. It was an informative session with Orson Scott Card. It's long but definitely worth watching.

Thank you for this Q&A! it has helped raise me from my doubting abyss just before my first story release. It also let me know about this site, which seems more like home: more sci-fi folks here and fewer hard-core literary types who smirk at sci-fi.
