I’m kicking the tires and lighting the fires. We are in the final stretch. With one episode to go (and yes, I want it to be one episode, regardless of its length), we’re closing in on the conclusion of this year’s journey. What an amazing ride it has been, Crew, and I’m still not done…

Welcome to the Tee Morris 2008 Roast!

You’ve waited. you’ve been patient. You’ve been more than kind. Here is, what I can only say is, my way of showing my gratitude: over 90 minutes of story in one shot.

00:00 — Intro & Previously on MOREVI

02:34 — Chapter Sixteen: Part One

The High Lord Coumiran, with Askana Moldarin as his prisoner, leads the Eyrieners invasion  of Morevi’s capital city.

52:09 — SPONSOR: Crescent Moon Haberdashery

52:56 — Chapter Sixteen: Part Two 

The Temple of Nadinath organize while in Songkusai the battle continues…

Chapter Seventeen: COMING SOON

The feed went dark again, I know, and this bookmark is just a quick assurance that I am alive and well. For those of you who are curious about Double Trouble and how we did…

“A Perspective on Success” from Imagine That! Studios

There’s more to come, I assure you, concerning Double Trouble and MOREVI: Remastered. Have a listen, and I’ll talk to you soon…

Pip and I are ending this incredible ride of Double Trouble with a party. Come dressed as your favorite podiobook character, enjoy the works of artist-author-performer J.R. Blackwell, and celebrate with us the launch of The Case of The Pitcher’s Pendant and Digital Magic.

Costumes are optional. CLOTHING IS MANDATORY! And we hope to see you there.

The First Queen of Morevi and yours truly are still sailing adventurous waters with Double Trouble, having successfully navigated parts of Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. Now we have set course for Atlanta, and we will be seeing many of you there for Dragon*Con. Make a note of the following:

DATE: August 30, Saturday night at DragonCon
TIME: Immediately following the Parsecs
LOCATION:  The Hyatt Party Suite

Tee Morris, Philippa Ballantine, and J.R. Blackwell bring you BOOKS & BLACKWELL, an art show-book launch featuring Dragon Moon Press titles and the works of J.R. Blackwell. Books and prints will be for sale, and in honor of the party’s sponsor, we ask that you attend dressed as your favorite podiobook character!  Rafe Rafton and Sive the Shining will be in attendance!  See you then!

And now we come to an even more important date: Today is the day for Grand Dame of Podcasting herself, Mur Lafferty! Here are the details…

THE MIGHTY MUR IS MAKING HER RUN ON AMAZON.COM! CLICK HERE AND SHOW YOUR LOVE FOR ALTERNATIVE SUPERHEROES AND THE AWESOMENESS THAT IS MUR LAFFERTY!!! Order your copies of Playing for Keeps, and let your friends know that a new breed of superheroes have flown into town…and you can pick them up at the airport when they give you a call form the tarmac. They don’t have capes, they don’t have the unitards, and they don’t work out of a hall of justice. They are here, though, to save the world.

Have a listen to the latest Survival Guide to Writing Fantasy and find out what makes Mur tick.

Finally, with the close of Dragon*Con, expect postings of MOREVI to resume. Thank you, Crew, for being there. See you soon!

Well, okay, Jack and I recorded in the afternoon…Pip was in the early morning hours in Wellington, New Zealand; but in this interview we had a lot of fun breaking Deadpan. The podcast is Jack Mangan’s Deadpan (a.k.a The International Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster Lolapalooza), and  Pip and I were hoping to bring a little bit of sophistication, class, and prestige to Jack’s “Pot Luck” podcast…

EPIC FAIL!

Taking Care Bears into places we never wanted them to go and giving in to the ways of Deadpan, the First Queen and Privateer Captain let loose and get goofy with the Mangan…a voice you will hear in a future episode of MOREVI.

PRODUCTION UPDATE: The new Alesis Multimix-8 is here and working at full capacity. No annoying hum. This means once Double Trouble: Phase One (The Amazon Rush) is wrapped, I try to crank out a new chapter before Phase Two which is the New Media Expo.  Be there for 08.08.08, and I’ll see you in Vegas, baby, for Geekalicious Goodness!

So, once again, this episode is NOT work safe, NOT kid safe, and BEST LISTENED with earbuds, headphones, or in the comforts of your office or studio…by yourself. In the words of Dan, this DTAD interview got naughtier than an earlier appearance made by Cunning Minx. (To which both Rafe and Askana replied with “WOW!”)

You have been warned…

…and now that you have been warned, Pip and I hope you have as much fun as we did on this interview!

…and somewhere in there, they do talk a bit about Double Trouble!

Show Post Mortum can be found here.

I don’t think this is a gift from the Captain, but definitely a good thing as a full work week gave me an opportunity to finish up and deliver Chapter Fifteen this week! Welcome, everyone, to the next installment of MOREVI: The Chronicles of Rafe & Askana.

The Captain is sticking with the jumbo-sized episodes for now, along with some talk about the upcoming

The threat of a cold and some non-uber-nemesis-like gushing over a silly kiwi is not going to stop me producing podcasts nor will it leave you on a really fun cliffhanger. So let’s see, I believe it was guns forward where we left the Defiant, right?

Part Two coming soon…

So what exactly IS happening with me? Okay, you knew that May would be a crazy month, but it also turned out to be the final push for not one but two titles, The Pitcher’s Pendant: A Billibub Baddings Mystery and Podcasting for Dummies, 2nd Edition. Amidst these deadlines was the New Media and SF/F event, Balticon 42. It has been weeks of classes, red lines, and networking…

…but the good news: The Pitcher’s Pendant is now in galleys. That’s right: Billi is back on 08.08.08! Take a look at this post, and you’ll get all the details from Baddings Investigations, Inc.

What else is happening from The Captain’s Quarters?

Author and Crew member J.C. Hutchins invited me to write in his universe, a universe far from Royal Guard, swashbuckling privateers, and dwarf detectives. This opportunity meant a lot to me as I am more than just a friend of J.C. Hutchins — I’m a fan. I still remember hearing the opening lines to 7th Son, Book One: Descent, and the trilogy was an amazing ride. Now, I found myself in his world. I wanted to make sure I didn’t let him down.

So, my Faithful Crew, here it is — the long-awaited, highly-anticipated, and seriously-hyped 7th Son: Obsidian. These are short stories set in the 7th Son universe around the time of the nationwide blackout. Along with my own short story, other authors appearing in this collection of original fiction will include:

• Michael A. Stackpole
• Scott Sigler
• Mur Lafferty
• Matt Wallace
• Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff
• Christiana Ellis

The Obsidian Experience will also feature original contributions from these podcast personalities:

• Evo Terra
• Dan Klass
• Wichita Rutherford
• TD-0013
• George Hrab
• Soccergirl
• The cast of The Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd

Also featured in this feed will be listener contributions of first person accounts from those trapped in the grips of panic, darkness, and survival. J.C. Hutchins is kicking off Obsidian this weekend with my short story, “Miles To Go Before I Sleep”.

Have a listen, and subscribe to 7th Son: Obsidian

“When the power fails, chaos reigns.”

Oh yeah…and Chapter Twelve? It’s underway. I’ll be talking to you very, very soon…like this week….

Collect them all!

7th Son: Obsidian is coming, featuring an original short story by Tee Morris.

So true…so true…

As I head into production for the latter half of Chapter Ten, complete with über-Special Guest voice, I wrap up this week’s installments with Part Two. When we left Askana, things were getting interesting.

I’m putting final touches on a short story appearing in that collection.  Don’t get me wrong — I love this podcast, but I’m a writer first and foremost and writers should be producing.

Wait a minute…I am producing. I’m producing this podcast. Darn it, I hate it when I trip over myself like that.

Also, I’m working on the edits for The Pitcher’s Pendant: A Billibub Baddings Mystery. Listen on Chapter Eight for an announcement concerning that new title from me. Coming very soon.

MOREVI: Remastered — after struggling to get this post online (due to the Monday doldrums and Rob Suarez throwing a monkey wrench into things by upsetting cosmic balances…) — is officially back in 2008 this two-part episode that returns to Songkusai, and we meet Lady Dirare of House Jarahd, Askana’s political foil in the Council of a Hundred Turi.

Sorry I’m a little late in the posting, but it was a Snow Day here in Virginia, and that meant readjusting schedules and taking care of parental matters.
