Amber has narrated the audiobook version of Blood Demands, which is out now

11/20/2024

Last month, the audiobook version of Blood Demands, the second novel in Raven Belasco’s Blood and Ancient Scrolls series, was released.

Amber narrated BLOOD EX LIBRIS, the first book in this exciting series in 2023, and she will once again lead us into this exciting and intriguing supernatural world.

The series centres on Anushka ‘Noosh’ Rosetti, a former librarian who has left the human world behind, but her hopes of an easy introduction into her new life are short-lived, and she soon travels to South America to attempt to rescue an ancient vampire in need of help.

Here is the summary of the book by publishes Immoral Influence Publications. No copyright infringement is intended. This is for informational purposes only.

“Picking up from Blood Ex Libris’s ending in an explosive-ravaged cave in the desert, Blood Demands takes Anushka “Noosh” Rossetti and Sandu (the supposedly-reformed Vlad Dracula) back to Romania, where Noosh assumes she will settle down to her archivist job for the am’r (vampires).

But after the nightmares start, Noosh’s life is disrupted yet again when she realizes that Bagamil, eldest of the am’r, is communicating to them that something has gone very wrong. Despite the dangers to one who is only half-vampire, Noosh insists on accompanying Sandu to travel to Argentina, asking the am’r of South America for clues to finding Bagamil.

Everything points to Tierra del Fuego, where in a cave system filled with booby traps and two opposing sets of enemies, Noosh must discover how to help a poisoned Bagamil to freedom, and when captured, must somehow outlive her enemies in a melee of revenge-thirsty vampires from South America’s colonial past. Despite intriguing allies and a bond with two of the most powerful am’r, Noosh must find her own way to survive in the brutal netherworld of the am'r.”

Author Raven Belasco has spoken of her delight that Amber has returned to narrate the next exciting installment of the series. To find out more about this or publishes Immoral Influence Publications and Punch Audio who are the publishers of the audiobook version, click to read this press release via issuewire.com

Amber Creates Her Fifth Halloween Trail in Los Angeles with FORT LA

10/10/2024

In what is becoming a tradition, Amber has recently created her fifth witch-themed trail in time for Halloween. If you live in or are visiting the LA area in the next few weeks, then Amber’s newest creative endeavour could be just what you're looking for ahead of Halloween.

Amber’s latest trail of five unique houses in Los Angeles each with a spooky past or connection to witches. This year’s trail is called ‘Witch Houses 5: Covens All of them Witches!: Five Magical Multi-Family Manors.’

This trail was curated in association with Friends of Residential Treasures: LA (FORT) “Friends Of Residential Treasures: LA is an award-winning nonprofit dedicated to bringing people together by celebrating the history and influence of residential architecture.”

Amber based her Echo Park Coven trilogy of novels in Los Angeles and she has also written a number of other novels and short stories with witches or ghosts and other spooky phenomenon. This year's trail is a little different however as Amber has been researching most recent and strange history of part of LA.

Here's how trailblazer Amber describes Witch Houses 5: Covens All of them Witches!: Five Magical Multi-Family Manors.’ in the official guide:

“This is Amber Benson, your friendly FORT: LA “WITCH HOUSES” trail
curator!

For the past few Octobers, I’ve had the honor of sharing spooky residential treasures with my fellow Angelenos.

Each of FORT: LA’s Halloween-themed trails is a ghoulish labor of love meant to get you excited about exploring the scary/creepy/haunted homes woven into the architectural tapestry that is Los Angeles––and this year’s trail is no different.

Except...where normally I write fun flights of fantasy about each of the homes on the list, this year’s trail is rooted in reality...the strange, underground, witchy reality of a pre-Y2K Los Angeles that I discovered in a back issue of the LA Times Picayune at the Central Library.

From the archives of now defunct LA Ghastly, to the papers of infamous Los Angeles witch, Rebecca Marrow...so began the odyssey that would eventually become FORT: LA’s extra-special Halloween trail, Witch Houses 5: Covens.

I hope you enjoy it!”

For more information about this fascinating trail visit fortla.org (click the hyperlink) and enter your email address. This will allow you to download a PDF which will give you more information about all five locations on the trail and the rules that are to be followed for anyone who wants to experience it for themselves.

I love history and if I could I’d definitely be following Amber's latest trail myself. I’d encourage anyone who can to check it out. A big thank you to friend and fellow Amber fan Laragh for the heads up about this exciting new trail.

‘Constituent Service - A Third District Story’ audiobook narrated by Amber Benson is available for pre-order now.

9/22/2024

Over the last few months, Amber has certainly been involved in some exciting audio projects, and here is another one to add to that list. As many people will know, she has been involved in writing, acting, and narrating several audio dramas and audiobooks, both her own work and for many other authors as well.

It has been announced that she will narrate the upcoming audio version of the Constituent Service - A Third District Story Novella by John Scalzi, which has been recorded exclusively for Audible.

As many of you will know, Amber has narrated two of John's novels in the past: Lock in and Head On. Set in a futuristic world where John decided not to reveal the gender of his main character, Amber, and friend and fellow actor Wil Wheaton narrated two different versions of both books. In fact, both Amber and Wil were nominated for an Audie Award for their work on Lock In.

Amber is now set to work on John's latest work. The novella Constituent Service is in a world where humans and aliens coexist. I have added the publisher summary below:

"Summary

“The aliens are here ... and they want municipal services!

Ashley Perrin is fresh out of college and starting a job as a community liaison for the Third District–the city’s only sector with more alien residents than humans. Ashley’s barely found where the paper clips are kept when she’s beset with constituent complaints–from too much noise at the Annual Lupidian Celebration Parade to a trip-and-fall chicken to a very particular type of alien hornet that threatens the very city itself.

And if that’s not terrifying enough, Ashley is next up at the office karaoke night.
It's Parks and Recreation meets the Federation of Planets in this fast and funny audio exclusive by Hugo Award winner and Audible bestseller John Scalzi.”

This Audible Exclusive title has been made available to members as part of your Audible Plus membership, which includes a variety of audiobooks, podcasts, and dramas that you can listen to without using an Audible credit or paying an additional fee. In fact, you can pre-order by simply pressing the button to add it to the library. To pre-order customers in the UK click here and customers in the USA click here.

However, I believe I am correct in saying that some things are included in Audible Plus for a limited time only, and some fans will want to keep this in their Audible Library for the long term. Don't worry you can also purchase it using an Audible credit.

Just press the other options button, then option to, purchase with the credit, will appear; this exciting novella will be released on the 3rd of October 2024. I can't wait to jump into this exciting sci-fi world narrated by Amber.

Joe

PS A big thank you to my friend and fellow Amber fan Laragh for the heads up about this really exciting audio project

Fang Fiction Audiobook narrated by Amber Benson – is available for pre-order now

9/22/2024

If, like me, you're a fan of audiobooks and Amber Benson, then here is some exciting news.

Amber is set to narrate the audiobook version of Fang Fiction by Kate Stayman-London. The book is set to be released early next month on the Audible platform in the UK and the USA.

The audiobook centres on a New York hotel manager who loves nothing more than spending time lost in the pages of her favourite supernatural romance novel until that world becomes all too real.

I have included the official publisher’s summary below, as shown on Audible.co.uk. This is for information purposes only; no copyright infringement is intended.

Summary

“The perfect romance to sink your teeth into

She's out for adventure. He's out for blood.

The world of your favourite fantasy novels is real, and you're invited to visit. The only catch? It's filled with thirsty vampires. Devour this page-turning romance from the bestselling author of One to Watch.

Tess Rosenbloom is no stranger to the dark. A grad school dropout and chronic insomniac, she spends her nights managing a chic Brooklyn hotel and her days curled up with her favourite vampire novels, Blood Feud. Tess even dabbles in online conspiracies that Blood Feud is real - it's fun to hunt for clues! But deep down, Tess doesn't believe vampires actually exist . . .

Until one walks through her door.

It turns out Blood Feud is real, and the sexy villain of the novels is trapped. Eager to escape her life, Tess agrees to help rescue him, and soon she's in a fantasia of lavish palaces and enchanted forests, on a secret island where the sun never shines and she's surrounded by deadly vampires - and against her better judgment, she's falling in love with one of them. (And unbeknownst to Tess, her estranged best friend is having a sapphic affair with a beautiful vampire of her own back in New York.)

Visiting the world of your favourite story is any fan's dream, but will Tess be able to outrun the demons of her past (and vampires of her present) before it becomes a nightmare? In this darkly glamorous rom-com, Tess will find out whether it's worth risking her neck - and her heart - for a chance to reclaim her future.”

Fang Fiction audiobook will be released on the 1st of October 2024 from Audible in the UK (click here) and the USA (click here). Both sites offer the facility to buy the audiobook for a one-off fee for non-members.

Audible also offers a range of packages. In return for a regular monthly fee, a user can download Fang Fiction and access a vast library of audiobooks available on the site. The number of books you can download in the month will depend upon your individual package. For full details, see the respective Audible websites.

Amber has used his skills as an actor to expertly bring characters off the page both in her own work and when narrating for other authors. I can't wait to listen to her ring to life the characters in what promises to be an exciting supernatural romance. I bet it will certainly give her something to sink her teeth into; sorry, I couldn't resist.
