Thank you, Dawn Treacher & it's oh so true. We're unfunded, work hard, & bring out fresh words from new & lesser known authors. Past 4+ yrs, Stairwell has enjoyed receiving mss from rather well known authors too! But without the massive marketing budgets of The Big Few. #SmallPresses

Oh how I *love* this book. Should have the first chapter on Stairwell's website as a Look Inside - read these & you'll be lost in the story Sue Paterson #fantasybooks #TheDeptOfCertainty

'Driven by the glory he'll earn, Gregor ignores the flaws: intelligence cannot be controlled; plants cannot be reasoned with; his plant-beast will flourish only if he uses a recently deceased corpse for the substrate.' WHAT COULD GO WRONG, EH? goodreads.com/book/show/1564… Goodreads
