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.
With Pip Ballantine, he is coauthor of Phoenix Rising: A Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences Novel.

Introduction to Steampunk: What Is Steampunk and Why Is it so Popular?
Steampunk has been referred to as "the Future Trend of Science Fiction" but is the subgenre started by Jeter and Powers (and Gibson and Sterling) merely a return to the classics as spun by Verne and Wells? Join our panelists as they look at recent works of Steampunk, share their opinions of what makes Steampunk different from the work of the founding fathers of Science Fiction, and why the genre is so appealing. |

Steampunk versus Alternate History
Science Fiction never blinks at incorporating events and icons of history...but when it comes to Steampunk, an argument is bubbling in boilers about what makes something "Steampunk" and what makes a work "Alternative History." What sets the two apart? Why can't Steampunk be considered part of the Alternative History genre? Why are authors hesitant to combine history with their fantasy? Where is the line (if any) between "Steampunk" and "Alternative History"? Authors discuss challenges, spirited debates, and fun in dancing between genres. |
