I recently became aware of some unfortunate and tragic news-  the wife of Podcaster and Author Tee Morris passed away suddenly and unexpectedly four days ago.  As devastating as this news has been to Tee, he now faces the daunting challenge of raising his 5 year old daughter as a single father.

I come to you on behalf of my friend with my hat in hand.  The podcasting community, a community that Tee has helped to define and grow is coming together.  A donation account over at Chipin.com has been set up to help him offset the costs laying his wife to rest.  In addition, Philippa Ballantine is organizing a fundraising auction for the same purposes.  If you have any items, crafts, services, or talents you would be willing to donate to sell at the auction, please contact her directly to express your interest.

On behalf of Tee and Sonic Boom, I thank you for your support, prayers, and generosity.

And here it is folks, the final chapter in “The Big Goodbye”.  I’d like to thank Tee Morris for having me on the show, and Philippa Ballantine.  It was a ton of fun and I can’t wait until our paths all cross in the future so we can once again riff whether it’s on or off pod.

This is the last scheduled post before Cybrosis goes live.  I’d like to wish you and yours a very happy holiday regardless of which, if any you plan to celebrate.  I’d like to wish you all a very Happy New year.  If you’re traveling, please be safe and I’ll see you again in a little over a week for the 01/01/10 launch of Cybrosis

Behold!  The fantastic cover art for this podcast novel!  I am utterly blown away by the amazing work of the most talented couple in podcasting, J.R. Blackwell, and Jared Axelrod.  They both took a series of very vague concepts of what I had in mind, and knocked this one out of the part with this breathtaking cover.  Many thanks to them both for their hours of hard work!

Cross Posted from the Survival Guide to Writing Fantasy

A week’s break (on account of another project) later and here comes the third segment of The Big Goodbye where the alcohol is definitely settling in. No, I’m not drinking alone (because that would be depressing…) as Survivalists Philippa Ballantine and P.C. Haring join me in this “finale without end.”

The third segment focuses less on The Sarge and a bit on P.C. Haring’s upcoming project, along with topics like…

• Dogfish Beer
• Reviewing the past and looking ahead.
• Going fanboi on J.R. Blackwell and Jared Axelrod
• Turning the mic over to P.C. and Cybrosis
• The importance of buffers in podcasting fiction
• Podcasting with purpose
• Expectations for World Fantasy
• Talking about podcasting, promotions, and Big House presses
• Turning the mic over to Pip Ballantine (Brace yourselves!)
• The importance in a saving throw!

With a few distractions from the kiwi, Part III of The Big Goodbye to The Survival Guide to Writing Fantasy is now on. Have a listen, have a laugh, and gear up for the final segment.
