Happy Halloween, A Few Opinions and Then Time for Some Self Promotion

I hope everyone is having a enjoyable Halloween today.

I could blog about a lot today, there is just so much going on.

I loved the Star Wars Episode 9 trailer.  Really looking forward to the film and I believe it will be good.

I don't really like where they have gone with the X-Men in the comics. Not sure what they were thinking. Seems like the X-Men have now become Magneto's dream not Prof. X's.

Watched the first two episode's of HBO's Watchmen. Not a fan. Something about it feels off. I don't think it is lined up with the Graphic Novel myself. I think the story itself might work better for me if it was in its own universe and was its own thing, but I don't find it feels like the Watchmen universe. And so far I saw every 'twist' coming a mile away. What I have seen is way too predictable and I get the feeling the writing is not going to improve.

Instead of going into detail on any of that, I am going to promote myself and what I have been working on. One of the reasons I have not been blogging much lately is because I have been working hard of my actual writing projects.

I published A Day at Georgie and Armand's Place.

This is my first full completed novel.

A Day at Georgie and Armand's Place by [Brazee-Cannon, Ian]


Welcome to the famous Georgie and Armand’s place,
 an inter-dimensional hotel unlike any place you have ever seen before. 
Inside you will find doorways to a thousand-thousand worlds, 
with all manner of beingsinteracting and going about their lives.

 The hotel is run by Georgie and Armand, dragons, 
life partners and Master Mages of the highest order.

Meet the guests and staff members from countless worlds, each with their own stories to tell. 
Follow their stories as a memorable day at the Hotel plays out around them, 
leading to their stories colliding as a mysterious adversary 
threatens the stability of the Hotel, putting at risk all those who call it home.

Come experience a true cross-genre adventure. 
At Georgie and Armand’s Place you get science fiction, fantasy, 
steampunk all overlapping with one another, 
with some mystery and romance sprinkled in the mix.

Then I put a short story in the same universe out,
 Georgie and Armand on Vacation: A Visit to Cripple Creek.





Right now it is at #60 for sci-fi/fantasy 45-minute short reads. Not a highly competitive category, but still cool that I have broken the top 100 in any category for Amazon.

After seeing that I decided to see how my other pieces are doing in the ratings and found that one of my Divided States of America stories, Where Do You Go From Here has been doing well.


It is right now at #55 in 30-Minute Sci-Fic/Fantasy Short Reads.
So I have two stories right now in the top 100 of different categories on Amazon.
I'd say that was cool.


Visit my Amazon Author's page to see the full selection of my projects there.

So Happy Halloween everyone.

Now That Was One Geeky Conversation

My son and I were out doing some Pokemon hunting today.  We got talking about how the Remoraid (A sardine like fish style Pokemon) makes no sense at all to evolve into a Octillery (Basically an octopus like Pokemon). It is the kind of thing that makes it very clear the creators of Pokemon were on drugs while watching Animal Planet when they came up with most of these creatures and their evolutions. We went through most of the Pokemon and made judgement calls as to how much sense the evolutions made. I think less than half of them really looked right. The creators clearly didn't care at all about logic or study nature when they came up with most of them. They have a basic teddy bear somehow turning into a monster grizzly bear with nothing more than them being bears connecting them, as they physically are clearly not the same species. There is a fat flying rabbit/squirrel then somehow becomes a ferret. Seriously, WTF were they on? And of course if you get enough gold fish (Known ...

Disharmony of the Spheres

My story 'Time of the Bursting' has been published in the anthology 'Disharmony of the Spheres: http://nomadicdeliriumpress.com/blog/product/disharmony-of-the-spheres/ It is an anthology of stories that focus on mental illness. This is the most meaningful anthology I have been in. Half the profits from this book will go to the Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Organization, a group that battles teen suicide. The following is from the product description. "Mental illness is very common in our society, but it’s also very misunderstood. Many view those with mental illnesses as being weak, but there is a great deal of strength in those that must battle their own minds on a regular basis. Disharmony of the Spheres focuses on characters with mental illnesses that are still able to be successful. They may not completely overcome their illnesses, but they are able to beat them back and succeed."

And His Time Is About To Come To An End

Twenty-Seven hours until the beginning of the end of the 11th Doctor. Since BBC America started airing Doctor Who we have been getting the new episodes the same night as they air on BBC One back in the UK, instead of waiting months for them.  That means that we get the Christmas Specials on Christmas Day, making it so Christmas Day ends with a nice little gift. This year's the episode is 'The Time of The Doctor' and will be the end for the 11th Doctor. Supposedly we will also get answers to just about all the big questions still out there from the last few years. We'll see how that goes. We will also be introduced to the 12th Doctor, although most likely this will not give us much of an idea of the character.  We'll have to wait till fall next year for the new season to start up to see just what the new Doctor is like. It is going to be a long wait.
