Tee Morris

Tee Morris began his writing career with the 2002 historical epic fantasy, MOREVI: The Chronicles of Rafe & Askana and then continued to write another Morevi fantasy, two noir detective novels set in Prohibition-era Chicago, and anthology pieces for Canadian fantasy publisher Dragon Moon Press. It was in 2005 when his idea — podcasting a novel — established him as a pioneer in the Social Media movement, making him the first author to podcast a book in its entirety. That experience led to the founding of Podiobooks.com (with Evo Terra and Chris Miller), the premier site for podcast literature.

Tee took his collaboration with Evo to print in Podcasting for Dummies (featuring Chuck Tomasi in the Second Edition) and its follow-up, Expert Podcasting Practices for Dummies (also with Ryan Williams). He then went on to write All a Twitter (if you look at the front cover, you’ll see my avatar :mrgreen: ) and SAMS Teach Yourself Twitter in 10 Minutes, establishing himself as an authority on Social Media matters. His podcasts and blog posts on Facebook, Twitter, Whrrl, and the Social Media movement can be found across the Internet, at Imagine That! Studios, and at his homesite. Tee has spoken across the country and around the world on social media for Book Expo America, NOAA, Te Papa Tongarewa: The Museum of New Zealand, CreateSouth, and LIANZA. Along with his credentials as a Social Media professional, Tee is a columnist and critic for the blog AppAdvice.com.

Tee has penned and collaborated with authors, actors, and performers on anthologies such as BenBella Books’s Farscape Forever: Sex, Drugs, and Killer Muppets, VOICES: New Media Fiction (a podcast mini-series edited by Mur Lafferty), BenBella Books’ So Say We All: An Unauthorized Collection of Thoughts and Opinions on Battlestar Galactica (co-edited by actor Richard Hatch), and Podthology: The Pod Complex from Dragon Moon Press.

The Case of The Singing Sword: A Billibub Baddings Mystery, received an Honorable Mention for ForeWord Magazine‘s 2004 Book of the Year award, was a Finalist for the 2005 Independent Publisher‘s Best Science Fiction and Fantasy award, and won “Best Audio Drama: Long Form” at the 2008 Parsec Awards. Recently, his two podcast short stories “Release Me” and “Dagger of the Mind” (both produced for the Erotica ala Carte podcast) received nominations for the 2010 Parsec Awards.

Joey Pinkney

Joey Pinkney’s blog features book reviews and author interviews. His main objective is to give authors extra exposure.

Joey started his blog in June 2006 to do something constructive with his obsession with the internet. He first used his site as a vehicle to write about things such as weight loss and acne prevention. His site slowly transitioned from those various topics to be a site strictly about books and authors.

In addition to this website, Joey uses other platforms to spread the word about different authors and books that with which he comes in contact. Joey writes book reviews and has conducted interviews for UrbanBookSource.com. He has also written book reviews for C & B Books . You can also find some of Joey’s reviews on Amazon.com.

Joey’s “5 Minutes, 5 Questions With…” author interview series has been a labor of love. The series gives authors a chance to explain their book from their perspective, and the reader gets a behind-the-scenes look at what it took to make the book happen. This series has featured self-published authors and authors from the major publishing houses, virtually unknown authors to Essence and/or New York Times Best Sellers, male and female authors, urban lit to science fiction to nonfiction to poetry.

Joey has recently added “author” to his repertoire with a contribution to Peace In The Storm Publishing’s The Soul of a Man: A Triumph of My Soul Anthology. His short story, “Like Father, Like Son,” follows Terrence Greene as he struggles with the stress of a wayward stepson and a wife who defends her son no matter what. True to his vows, he tries to be an example to both his wife and son as he takes a good look at his own views on faith and spirituality.

Jubilance1922

If you’ve ever read my bio, you’ll note a few lines of dedication to the person who gave me the idea to start asking My Questions of the Day.

Just in case you did read my bio, and haven’t made the connection, this is the chickof whom I’m speaking when I write of my inspiration.

I’m very happy to have the opportunity to introduce her to you, but instead of putting it in my own words, I’ve decided to let Jubi say it herself.

Jubilance1922 has the following to say to you about who she is:

  • I’m the oldest of 4 kids.
  • I’ve always been bossy, or as my dad liked to say at parent-teacher night “VERY assertive”.
  • I’m from MI, but I went to college in MN.
  • I loved my grad school experience in Atlanta too.
  • My bff in the whole wide world is LK.
  • I pledged Sigma Gamma Rho my senior year of undergrad and I love my sorority.
  • My last relationship was in August 2006, so its been almost 4 years since I was someone’s gf.
  • I’m a Twitter addict.
  • I have a really bad handbag habit.
  • I am a huge SATC fan.
  • Professionally, I am a polymer/analytical chemist.
  • I’m very social, I love to go out and do things.
  • I’m very extroverted.
  • I have the greatest mom ever.
  • I’m a feminist.
  • I grew up in a very pro-Black household.
  • I have plans for world domination.

Narcel Reedus

Born in Gary, Indiana, Narcel G. Reedus is a writer, director, independent filmmaker and media artist. He has won national awards for his dramatic short films “For Colored Boys Who’ve Considered Homicide,” “Race Juice: An Elixir for the Soul,” “Waddie Welcome” and “The Fight.” He also won a Peabody for his writing on the NPR radio documentary “Will the Circle Be Unbroken.” His films have screened at the Lincoln Center in New York, on PBS, in Los Angeles, Miami, Houston, Austin, Chicago, Atlanta and in international film festivals in Rotterdam, Bermuda, Milan and Berlin. Narcel earned his MFA in Film and Media Arts from Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and taught film at the University of Texas at Arlington.

Narcel says:

I don’t remember when I first fell in love with film. It may have been in elementary school when we took a field trip to Chicago to see Sounder. Maybe in 1972 when I first saw Shaft at the State Theatre in Gary, Indiana. Perhaps it was at my first screening of The Fight when a woman gasped at the images I created on screen.

My relationship with film is co-dependent, enduring, therapy, romantic, beautiful, and heart wrenching. I’ve discovered film intertwined within my tragedies and my personal life intertwined within my films. I am somehow connected to the unspoken, the underrepresented, and the hard to see. I feel a deep responsibility to make silence and the blatantly unobvious the hero.

In the fall of 2009, Narcel relocated to Atlanta and began production on “Nine in Alabama,” a feature-length documentary about children sent to live in nursing homes.

That project grew into the larger project, the “Not Home” documentary, where Narcel travels the United States chronicling the history and issue of children being housed in nursing homes.
