I am thrilled to have Tee Morris as this episode’s guest. Tee is one of two people who got me interested in podcasting. In fact, Tee’s ‘Survival Guide to Writing Fantasy’ was the first podcast I ever listened to. Tee has a real wealth of experience; he’s an author of fiction and non-fiction, co-founder of Podiobooks.com, podcaster, blogger and social media champion.
