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.

Tee bought all these skills to the award-winning Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences series which he wrote with his wife, Pip Ballantine. Their first installment in the steampunk series, Phoenix Rising, won them the 2011 Airship Award for Best in Steampunk Literature; and both Phoenix Rising and The Janus Affair were finalists in Goodreads' Readers Choice for Best Science Fiction of 2011 and 2012. In 2013, Tee and Pip launched both Ministry Protocol and The Ministry Initiative, an anthology and RPG set in the steampunk world of Eliza D. Braun and Wellington Books. Before the end of the year, they will be introducing their third volume, Dawn's Early Light.

When he is not writing, Tee enjoys life in Virginia alongside Philippa Ballantine, his daughter, and three cats.
