TALL TALE TV - Sci-Fi and Fantasy Short Stories
Are you a fan of science fiction and fantasy short stories? Do you love getting lost in a good book or audio drama? Tall Tale TV has you covered. With modern fiction from around the world, professionally narrated just for you, Tall Tale TV is your premier destination for bite-size audiobook adventure. My name is Chris Herron, a professional voice actor, and Every Monday and Friday I professionally narrate short stories from around the world. From epic fantasy to space opera, steampunk to urban sci-fi, and everything in between. Most episodes are stand-alone short stories, but I also mix in book excerpts and episodic novels, and novellas for a variety of content. But beyond that, I believe in bringing authors and readers together, which is why each episode includes detailed information about the featured author. In many cases, you'll have the opportunity to connect with them and discover even more of their amazing work. Tall Tale TV was born out of a personal experience. When I went temporarily blind for a year, I turned to audiobooks and audio drama as an escape. Once my sight was restored, I decided to pay it forward and become an audiobook narrator myself. This podcast is my gift back to the community. Don't miss out on this exciting journey of discovery and imagination. Tune in to Tall Tale TV at http://www.TallTaleTV.com and let me take you on a journey you'll never forget.

He chooses not to use his degree professionally out of a selfish desire for having both food and shelter at the same time. He enjoys watching YouTube videos on subjects from astronomy to history to economic principles, and he will admit that he occasionally slides down a rabbit hole of Tolkien lore from time to time.

Other TTTV Stories by Mike Morgan: ---- Story Submission ---- Got a short story you'd like to submit? Submission guidelines can be found at ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- My name is Chris Herron, and I narrate audiobooks. In 2015, poor control of my diabetes left me legally blind for the better part of a year. The doctors predicted an 80% chance I would never see again, but I changed the way I was living and through sheer willpower beat the odds. During this time I couldn't read or write. Two things that I had been turning to for comfort since I was a small child. With the sheer amount of stress I was under, this was devastating. My wife took me by the arm, lead me into the local library, and read out titles of audiobooks to me. I chose the audiobook versions of books I had loved such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter and more. They brought my favorite stories to life in ways I never thought possible and helped me through the darkest time of my life. Once my vision recovered, I maintained a love for audiobooks. I decided I would turn my focus from being a writer to becoming a narrator. I devised Tall Tale TV as a way to help out all the amazing authors in the writing communities I had come to love before my ordeal. I created Tall Tale TV to help aspiring authors by providing them with a promotional audiobook video. A way to showcase their skills with the written word. They say the strongest form of advertisement is word of mouth, so I provide a video to a platform of readers to help get people talking. Help them spread the word.

In 2015, I suffered from poor Type 1 diabetes control which lead me to become legally blind for almost a year. The doctors didn't give me much hope, predicting an 80% chance that I would never see again. But I refused to give up and changed my lifestyle drastically. Through sheer willpower (and an amazing eye surgeon) I beat the odds and regained my vision. During that difficult time, I couldn't read or write, which was devastating as they had always been a source of comfort for me since childhood. However, my wife took me to the local library where she read out the titles of audiobooks to me. I selected some of my favorite books, such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more, and the audiobooks brought these stories to life in a way I had never experienced before. They helped me through the darkest period of my life and I fell in love with audiobooks. Once I regained my vision, I decided to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator instead of a writer.
