Royal Dragonfly AwardWinning Author Caitlin Avery Takes Readers on a Wild Ride
in The Last Cruz
1888 PressRelease Caitlin Avery, author of the book The Last Cruz, gives readers a fast moving escape in
her newest book, which has just won a prestigious Royal Dragonfly award. Public book launch scheduled on
Thursday, February 11th.
Newton, Mass. There are times in everyone's life when one needs an escape. Caitlin Avery has
constructed an engrossing story around characters who feel the same way.
Winner of a Royal Dragonfly award, The Last Cruz is a story that follows the main character, Catrina
Lang, on her escape from Hollywood. As a starlet, she is feeling the pressure from the nearly constant
scrutiny of the media and decides to take a backcountry motorcycle ride with her sister and a friend.
What should be a fun filled trip south of the border becomes a race to evade danger when the trio gets
caught in the cross hairs of the Mexican drug war. Catrina must confront her sad family history, and the
lies that have helped her survive the limelight, before she can decide which version of her world is worth
fighting for.
"One of my favorite aspects of storytelling is character development, and each of these women has their
fair share of problems," said Avery. "I couldn't help but cheer for them, even as they made some major
mistakes. And, as an avid motorcyclist myself, writing about an allfemale riding group was cool, since
it's pretty unusual. I just hope these women aren't the only three clinging to their seats as the adventure
unfolds."
"My goal was to write a story that people would have a hard time putting down," adds Avery. "I'm hoping
The Last Cruz offers the kind of wild ride that lingers in the mind for a while."
The book launch party is open to the public on:
