Blood of Many Nations

Johnny Gunn the pseudonym of a retired journalist. He says, "I ditched college after the first year by being hired by a radio station as a full time reporter, and the merry-go-round never stopped. I can't say I miss the day-to-day newsroom chaos, but I love allowing my characters to do their thing, not have to report someone else's thing." During his fifty-year career, he published and edited The Nevada Observer.com, an internet news magazine; The Virginia City Legend, a weekly newspaper; and The Rhythm of Reno, a monthly entertainment magazine. Also he was senior editor at AdNews, serving the advertising gurus, marketing mavens, and other creative souls in Nevada. Several years ago, he started transitioning from hard news to fiction (There are many that say these two are the same), writing short stories and having them published in some fine literary journals and magazines. He and his wife live on a small hobby farm about twenty miles north of Reno, Nevada, and share space with a couple of horses, a flock of egg-laying chickens, some meat rabbits, and one goofy goat.
