| Welcome
to
g.neri.com. I'm
the author of the middle-grade books Ghetto
Cowboy
, Yummy
and Chess
Rumble, plus the young
adult novel Surf
Mules. 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. If
you have any interest in organizing a school
or Skype visit with me,
check out my school
visits page. Schools and
libraries are eligible for up to a 40%
discount on books! Otherwise, take your time and explore my site.
There's
a lot of stuff here, so you're sure to find something of
interest. Peace,
Ghetto Cowboy makes its 10th state award reading list, including the Texas Bluebonnet, NY, PA, TN, ME, SC, WA, NJ and IL! Just out: a new Anthology Who Done it?-- a murderously funny collection of YA authors from me and the likes of Lemony Snicket, Jon Scieszka, John Green, Libba Bray, Rebecca Stead, Ned Vizzini, Dave Eggers and many others! See how one school in Houston celebrates Ghetto Cowboy! Plus new interview with me for Lunch Ticket. NEW PROJECTS on the way: My first picture book HELLO, I'M JOHNNY CASH (w/ AG Ford, to be published by Candlewick, 2014) and short stories in 3 anthologies coming in 2013! I've also just finished a new YA novel called Knockout Games and getting close on my next graphic novel Grand Theft Horse. More to come soon...
