New Blog Name: Guns 'n' Guts

Guns, Guts, & God is now just Guns ‘n’ Guts (www.gunsnguts.blogspot.com). Please update your bookmarks accordingly.

Now, you may be thinking, Hey, man, why’d you drop God?

Trust me, it was nothing personal. Evolution is natural and blogs are no exception. Intents, goals, focuses … all are malleable and subject to change. When I first kick-started this blog, back when I was a newbie indie author, I thought all my focus would be on the action-adventure genre, which I affectionately refer to as “guns ‘n’ guts” because, well … there are lots of guns and guts. But I also dabble in spiritual essays and had a notion to occasionally throw one up on this blog, so when I was selecting a name for the blog, I added “God” at the end to kinda-sorta cover those intermittent faith-based writings.

Now, while I still primarily write action-thrillers, I have expanded into the horror genre, but that still makes sense under the “guts” section of the blog’s name. But the reality is, randomly posting an entry about God, faith, etc. just doesn’t make sense. Different demographic, different audience. If I decide to pursue writing spiritual essays, I will create a new blog for that, not try to force them to awkwardly coexist.

So the blog has a new name—Guns ‘n’ Guts—and a revamped focus. My hope/goal is to get back to posting entries on a more regular basis, so hopefully those of you who still check in for new content will find your patience rewarded. If I could buy everyone a new SIG-Sauer for their loyalty, I would. But these days, I can barely afford a Kel-Tec.

Next up, if all goes according to plan, is a review of Zeke Mitchell’s Kill Zone, which has been scorching up the Amazon charts for months now with no sign of slowing down and heralding the arrival of a new action author to be reckoned with. So bookmark the new link (www.gunsnguts.blogspot.com) and get ready to lock ‘n’ load, because we’ll be chatting about autofire carnage again real soon.
