Welcome to
g.neri.com. I'm the author of the middle-grade
novella Chess Rumble, the young
adult novel Surf Mules
and the upcoming graphic novel Yummy (early 2010). I write
provocative, edgy stories for reluctant readers,
especially urban boys,
in hopes
that these kinds of books-- immediate, compelling and told through the
eyes of young males--will open minds to reading. And there are two more novels on the way: Caught and Ghetto Cowboy (2011).
So now that you've found your way in here, check out the site and find out more about my books.
