Vance became Vinnie because of one of his past coworkers decided that a new moniker was necessary. This coworker said his father had a Hereford bull that had a few characteristics in common with me: referring to the bull’s stubborn tendencies; referred to as having a “hard head”. The bulls name was Vindicator, and so Vance became Vinnie. Writing is my passion and my life now that I've retired. |
Creative at the next level. I'm writing stories about the people |
Biographical in a fictional sense. I write about real people with real problems in a real world.With a little twist. |
Right now I'm kind of a survivalist type person; permaculture and the like. I also I grow tomatoes for the local Farmers Market and write a thing called Vinnie's Place, where I deal with the problems of growing things on the High Desert. |

“Did you hear that guy? He wrapped himself in the flag, quoted from the Bible and the Constitution… didn’t take every long for him to do it either… I thought he was trying to sell after shave lotion”. Charlie Tom, Elko County Jail,2010 |
I graduated from High School in 1969, so that’s going to give you some idea. Woodstock. Dylan and Guthrie (Arlo) or course. I saw the Grateful Dead and the Jefferson Airplane in Golden State Park, for free. How about Long John Baldry |
