Morganville The Series Starring Amber Benson Is Now Available To Pre Order On DVD

Here is the news that Morganville fans can really sink their teeth into Morganville the series is now available to pre order on DVD.

If you are hearing the name Morganville for the very first time don't worry let me get you up to speed. Morganville is the setting for Rachel Caine's phenomenally successful MORGANVILLE VAMPIRES series of novels. Morganville is a town in Texas like no other in that it's run entirely by vampires. The series spans 15 books and has millions of devoted followers. Unlike other similar series, however, (such as the ever popular Harry Potter series), Morganville has never been made into a film or TV series.

In the summer of 2013 Rachel decided it was time for this to change she announced ambitious plans to produce a series of TV quality webisodes to bring the world of Morganville from the page to the screen for the first time. To help make her dream a reality Rachel enlisted the help of Blake Calhoun to direct the series and Amber Benson to play the leading role of Morganville Town Founder Amelie, after so many years of Buffy under her belt, it appears to be a case of "If you can't slay them, join them". Now of course we all know that it won't be Amber's first time playing a vampire. Who could forget her brilliant performance as Lenore on the hit television show SUPERNATURAL, or her voice over capabilities as Vampire Tara in Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds?   

Rachel launched a Kickstarter campaign with the aim of raising the funds she needed to turn a dream into reality. Thanks to the dedication and generosity of Morganville fans worldwide it smashed through its initial $75,000 target raising an impressive $81,752. This meant the series could go into production and was filmed entirely on location in Texas. Rachel also announced a partnership with online TV channel and multimedia platform Geek and Sundry who provided additional funding for the series as well as screening for free to fans worldwide.

Morganville the series had its world premiere at London's MCM Comic Con on 25 October 2014 and I'm very proud to say I was lucky enough to be there and have the opportunity to meet Rachel and Amber along with fellow cast members Robert Picardo “Oliver” Lindsay Seidel “Claire Danvers” Jordan Farris “Shane Collins” and Ben Easter “Michael Glass”.

Morganville series made its worldwide debut on 27 October 2014 via Geek and Sundry's YouTube channel. I'm happy to say that the entire series is still available to watch in full via the link below.

Now the DVD version is set for release, a must for any fan and is loaded with extras including behind-the-scenes footage, deleted scenes, audio commentaries and much more. To celebrate the launch of the DVD Rachel has decided to produce two special edition DVDs only available via the official Morganville website and crucially only available for a limited time.

Option One: Morganville DVD with all the extras signed by Rachel Caine herself

Just  – $15 plus shipping


Option Two: Morganville DVD with the extras and signed by Rachel it also includes an exclusive Morganville short story penned by Rachel in e book and audio versions. 


Just – $25 plus shipping

Click Here to pre order your DVD now

As I said this special preorder offer is only available for a very limited time you have to hurry, you only have until 28 February 2015 to take advantage of this preorder special.

I am a huge fan of Morganville and I encourage anyone to check out the series and catch these DVDs while you can. Just remember if you're planning on visiting Morganville "it's their town we just die in it".

Lock In Audiobook Narrated By Amber Benson & Wil Wheaton Nominated For An Audie Award

2/18/2015

Amber recently shared the news that Lock In audiobook she narrated has been nominated for an Audie Award.

Saying:

“So Lock In - written by the loverly @scalzi & narrated by @wilw & myself - is nominated for an Audie Award! Congrats, guys, so proud!”

Written by John Scalzi Locked In is a futuristic thriller where the mysterious and deadly Haden Syndrome has devastated the planet. Twenty-five years after the appearance of this deadly virus two FBI agents Chris Shane and his veteran partner Leslie Vann are sent to investigate a Haden related murder at the Watergate Hotel unaware they are about to uncover a much bigger mystery.

John took the decision to have not one but two audiobook versions of his novel one narrated by Amber and the other narrated by fellow actor Wil Wheaton. The gender of lead character Chris Shane isn't revealed in the course of the book for that reason John decided to have two separate versions made. 

In the course of writing this update I found the interview below in which both Amber and Wil talk about their experiences narrating their versions of this gripping story and the reason for making two unique versions of the audiobook. 



Please note this video does contain a spoiler.
To find out more information about how you can purchase Lock In click the link below where you can find links for both UK and USA customers.

On behalf of the entire AmberBenson.TV team I’d like to wish John, Amber and Wil good luck at the 2015 Audie Awards.

The Witches Of Echo Park Audiobook, Written And Narrated By Amber Is Out Now 

2/9/2015

While updating The Witches of Echo Park section of the website today I was surprised and disappointed to discover I hadn't written a post dedicated to the audiobook version. I decided that even though I'm a bit late this fantastic audiobook deserves a post of its own so here goes.

The Witches Of Echo Park audiobook was released on 6 January 2015 and is the first in Amber's brand-new urban fantasy series.


Lyse MacAllister is enjoying her quiet life in Georgia when she receives some devastating news, her great-aunt Eleanora is desperately ill. Elyse rushes back to Echo Park Los Angeles to be with the woman who raised her. This is a long overdue homecoming for Elyse and a sad one as she tries to come to terms with her great-aunt's illness. Elyse’s world is turned upside down when Eleanora reveals not only that she is a witch and a member of the Echo Park coven but she also needs Elyse to take her place.

To accept means not only stepping into a mysterious world she is unprepared for but also putting her life in danger as this is a dark time for the coven there is a battle ahead and it may well prove to be their last.

Amber also narrates the audiobook herself and she does an amazing job of bringing her own characters off the page in this dramatic reading. The Witches Of Echo Park audiobook is unabridged and available to buy from Audible both here in the UK  and in the USA both sites offer the facility to buy the audiobook for a one-off fee for non-members.
Audible also offers a range of packages where in return for a regular monthly fee a user is entitled to download The Witches Of Echo Park Audiobook as well as access to a vast library of audiobooks also 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.

The Witches Of Echo Park is also available to buy from the iTunes Store in both the UK and USA as well as Australia too. Simply search for The Witches Of Echo Park in the iTunes App via your computer or on your mobile device. There is also a free sample available for you to listen to before you purchase this sample is available through Audible and iTunes just select the option which is best for you.

I highly encourage you to check out the audiobook and experience is new and exciting world of Amber has created and I'm very sorry it took so long to write a dedicated audiobook post.

Please Note: The Witches Of Echo Park is also available to buy in paperback.
