Speaker Bio: Tee Morris

Tee Morris, Author of Podcasting For Dummies

Actor Tee Morris began his writing career with his portrayal of Maryland Renaissance Festival's Rafe Rafton, a character featured in his 2002 historical epic fantasy, MOREVI The Chronicles of Rafe & Askana. Tee then appeared in Dragon Moon Press' The Complete Guide to Writing Fantasy, the title earning the distinction of finalist for ForeWord Magazine's 2003 Book of the Year. 2004 saw the releases of Billibub Baddings and The Case of The Singing Sword, a spoof of both the Fantasy and Hard-Boiled Detective novel; and The Fantasy Writer's Companion, a sequel (yes, a sequel!) to The Complete Guide to Writing Fantasy. The Companion was also a finalist for ForeWord Magazine's 2004 Book of the Year Award while Billibub received an Honorable Mention for the same award, and was a finalist for the Independent Publisher's Best Science Fiction and Fantasy.

Tee entered 2005 with an idea, and that idea -- podcasting MOREVI in order to promote its sequel, Legacy of Morevi -- went on to become the first book podcast in its entirety. That experience led to the founding of Podiobooks.com and the collaboration with Evo Terra on Podcasting for Dummies, the user-friendly, how-to guide to podcasting from Wiley Press. Along with the premiere of that title and Legacy of MOREVI: Book One of the Arathellean Wars, Tee's article "Dear John" appeared in BenBella Books's retrospective Farscape Forever: Sex, Drugs, and Killer Muppets,

With his on-stage and behind-the-scenes experiences from theatre, radio, and television as an actor, Tee continues to explore the possibilities of podcasting with The Survival Guide to Writing Fantasy (found on http://www.teemorris.com/blog/), a podcast that explores marketing and self-promotional concepts for published and soon-to-be-published authors. He is also planning for 2006 a podcast of his novel, Billibub Baddings and The Case of The Singing Sword.
