took ya long enough
Yes. It has been unleashed. I’m opening it like a kid on Christmas.
Fanfrackingtastic!!!
Tee definately brought his A game to the 7th Son Universe. I can’t wait to see how the rest of the stories from the blackout unfold, and to EXPERIENCE Code Phantom (won’t spoiler the real title for those that haven’t listened yet) when it is released. You continue to outdo yourself, J.C.

Well worth the wait, Hutch. I was looking forward to Code Phantom sight unseen — now that you’ve given us a glimpse, I’m completely stoked.
Tee, nicely done. Way to kick things off in style.
Wow! What a way to start things! The best part is I know that Mr. Morris can rock. And he’s got me chomping at the earbuds for more. Well worth the long wait.
Whoo – Go Hutch
Writing this short story was a real killer on two fronts: This is my first try at the Thriller genre, and this was for Hutch. We joke, we trash talk, and we challenge each other in the podcast fiction arena, but I have been a fan of 7th Son from the beginning. I didn’t want to let the Clones down, and I also wanted to meet Hutch’s expectations. From the early feedback, it appears I did both.
Thank you all for the kind words, support, criticisms, and investment of time. I hope, when “Miles To Go…” concludes, it is looked upon as time well spent.
And thank you, Hutch. It was a real delight getting a chance to explore your world…and to write a short story that features the trademark transition we all know from your trilogy. :^)
Tee, you did a fantastic job with this story. I can’t wait to hear part two.
Obsidian is off to a fantastic start!
WOO HOO!!!! Yeah!!!!
You know…CODE PHANTOM explains why Hutch got the Red Seal.
And I’ve probably owed Tee a review/letter for a while. So expect one soon, cap’n.
[...] wait to hear what they came up with. Right now, Obsidian has launched with Tee Morris’ story, Miles To Go Before I Sleep. Fans of Hutchins will also appreciate the big reveal of what his second novel, nicknamed CODE [...]
[...] I know, I’m a few days late with this one, but the uber showman/perfectionist didn’t get Obsidian 1 out until nearly 10 pm central on May 31st and I’ve just now had the chance to listen to it. [...]
