About the Book (Excerpts & Info)

Jeffrey Reese, a writer of the outdoors, is sent by his magazine to report on the reintroduction of wolves into the Bitterroot Mountains of Montana and Idaho only to find that the wolves’ greatest struggle is with man’s prejudice and hatred. Through his contact with wolves, Reese is drawn physically and emotionally into the mystique of creatures with human-like emotions.

Happenstance brings Reese into the lives of Dakota, an immensely intelligent beta wolf, Jacy Cayuse, a Nez Perce youth infatuated with wolves, and Elizabeth Dalton, the alluring daughter of a wolf-hater. Reese, with a painful history of his own, helps Dakota recover from a tragic event, but it is Dakota’s brother Bartok who becomes the hero with the strength and spirit that is the embodiment of his kind.

Lakota’s triumph is only the beginning of a tale that belies the misconceptions of wolf behavior. The travails of wolves intertwine with the conflicts of the human characters as Reese attempts to overcome the heartbreak of his past and learns to live and love anew.

With unflagging devotion for each other, the wolves of the pack will pad into the reader’s heart. Anoki, the baby-sitter, will break it; then Shako, the alpha female, will mend it. The co-adventures of Nitika, a strong-willed hybrid, and Yuma, the disperser son of the powerful Bartok, will intrigue. The intelligence and friendliness of Dakota will make him your favorite – until you know the impetuous Yuma. Their stories will merge into an unforgettable tale of triumph from tragedy, told with no exaggeration of the wolf’s capacity for emotional capabilities so akin to our own.

Cry Wolf, Cry is a story about people; it is a story about wolves. It is a tale about heartbreak and glory, about hate and love; it is a chronicle of the sadness and happiness of life itself.

Deftly constructed at 207 pages, Cry Wolf, Cry is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the Fiction category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, Cry Wolf, Cry meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $15.95 and $22.95, respectively.

About the Author

Russell M. Cera is a retired schoolteacher who lives in West Islip, New York, with his wife Linda. His passions include cooking, gardening, the outdoors, and writing. He is currently working on The Fruit of the Bad Seed, a memoir of his teaching career that began in the turbulent ‘60s.

The vocations in Russ’s life have kept him from enjoying the great outdoors as much as he would have liked. Now that he is retired, he can pursue his love for writing. “With pen,” he claims, “I can go wherever my imagination allows. I can enjoy the wild creatures of nature, explore the boundless outdoors, and if I choose, I can even run and hunt with the magnificent gray wolves, my favorite animals on earth.”
