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. Or come see me at one of these upcoming events:
