Hello, Joseph Neri here - a Brooklyn tree who put down roots in Edison, NJ.
I first became enamored with the art of storytelling when I was nine years old. My mother handed me a VHS tape that would change everything. That tape? Star Wars.
Side note: I'm a big ol' nerd. You've been warned.
Star Wars was only the beginning. I fell in love with Sci-Fi and fantasy. Movies, books, comics, and TV. I couldn't get enough.
Soon, reading and watching just weren't enough. I needed to write!
I started my writing career by treading in familiar waters. The standout being a rousing fourth-grade tale of the Rebel attack on the Death Star, as told by a veteran X-Wing pilot.
Don't worry, my work got more creative as I grew. I won't bore you with the details, but the short version is the creative fire never went out. And here we are! My own website, showcasing my work.
In all endeavors, I'm lucky to be joined by my wife, our dog Chewie, and our two kids - one destined to betray me, the other avenge me. My spare time is filled with movies outside by the fire, traveling, photography, amateur woodworking, advocating for the Oxford Comma, video games, cheering on the New York Sirens and Rangers, reading, logging more miles on a pair of running shoes that should have been retired long ago, and, of course, writing.
This is only the tip of the iceberg, and I'm an open book. So, drop a line and let's connect!
