Tee Morris

Tee Morris began his writing career with his 2002 historical epic fantasy, MOREVI The Chronicles of Rafe & Askana. In 2005 Tee took MOREVI into the then-unknown podosphere, making his novel the first book podcast in its entirety. That experience led to the founding of Podiobooks.com and collaborating with Evo Terra and Chuck Tomasi on Podcasting for Dummies and its follow-up, Expert Podcasting Practices for Dummies. He won acclaim and accolades for his cross-genre fantasy-detective Billibub Baddings Mysteries, the podcast of The Case of the Singing Sword winning him the 2008 Parsec Award for Best Audio Drama. Along with those titles, Tee has written articles and short stories for BenBella Books's Farscape Forever: Sex, Drugs, and Killer Muppets, the podcast anthology VOICES: New Media Fiction, BenBella Books' So Say We All: Collected Thoughts and Opinions of Battlestar Galactica, and Dragon Moon Press' Podthology: The Pod Complex. When he is not writing, Tee enjoys life in Virginia alongside Philippa Ballantine, his daughter, and five cats (3 female, 2 males). Considering the male-to-female ratio in his house, Tee understands how General Custer felt near his end.

He took another long, deep breath, the smell of freshly churned earth so thick in the air he could taste it. He then realized that some of it had in fact made it on his tongue. Gary swirled a small amount of saliva in his mouth and spit, careful not to make sure he didn’t hit her grave. Just in case.

Crickets were chirping away happily at one another. He could hear the sounds of frogs and foxes. Under the moonlight, the mound remained undisturbed.
