Cry Wolf Cry, a novel by accomplished writer and wolf conservationist Russell M. Cera, is a beautiful tale that interweaves tragic and triumphant lives both human and lupine. The novel is currently available through all major online distributors, receiving impressive accolades, including a five star rating on Amazon.com from it’s readers! The book was originally published with a different jacket illustration, but in 2010, Russell M. Cera commissioned his namesake, Russell R. Cera of RJA Creations, to redesign the cover layout in order to better compliment the outstanding story. “It was truly an honor to illustrate the jacket for such a wonderful piece of literature, my Uncle being the author aside. Likewise, it's a thrill to know that the jacket artwork can be the eye catcher to interest a possible reader or buyer.” - RRC

As for the art itself, Russell (R.) took reference and guidance to recreate the human and wolf characters, from early sketch through to hand painted completion. “My uncle had a very clear vision as to how he wanted each character to appear, and it was a challenge recreating that vision while achieving a sense of overall realism. I wanted more than anything, to create a more dynamic, vibrant image that truly complimented the book.” - RRC
