Welcome to g.neri.com. I'm the author of the middle-grade novella Chess Rumble, the young adult novel Surf Mules and the graphic novel Yummy.  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 more on the way: my next novel Ghetto Cowboy will be coming out in Fall, 2011.

So now that you've found your way in here, check out the site and stay awhile...

SCHOOL VISITS
Starting in August 2010, I will be in Berlin for a year, so I am offering free Skype school visits to any class that is reading one of my books! If you're a teacher or librarian, contact me to arrange a virtual author visit.
