In this new publication I want to say how deeply I appreciate the generosity and vision of the Press Gang staff in nudging me out of their nest. The exchange between Della McCreary of Press Gang and Ellen Seligman of McClelland & Stewart was both sensitive and caring, not at all like the buying and selling of a commodity. I am indeed fortunate to have had my work passed from one set of diligent hands into another. Della and Ellen, I admire and thank you both for this. It is my great pleasure to have this new edition of Cereus Blooms at Night published by McClelland & Stewart.
