Published Works
Vinny’s work in Science-Fiction mostly deals with near future technology, human-issues, and characters in the face of overwhelming odds.
There is a lot to learn about conflict, and with our society’s exponential technological growth, there seems to be nothing but conflict on the horizon.
With published short stories and poetry, Vinny explores these themes and more in his catalog.
