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

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.

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.

Amber Has Narrated The Audiobook Version of Double Blast – Out Now

9/22/2024

0 Comments

Over the last few years, Amber has used her acting skills to narrate several audiobooks, both her own work and for several other authors. Double Blast, narrated by Amber, is the 12th book in Gretchen Archer’s Davis Way Crime Caper series.

Amber recently announced via her official Instagram account that she had returned to narrate the latest in this exciting, long-running series.

Amber and Gretchen first began working together in 2014 when she narrated Double Dip, the second book in the series.

She took over from Dina Pearlman, who had narrated Double Whammy, which was first released in 2013. In January 2019, Amber narrated the anniversary edition of the Double Whammy audiobook, released as an Audible exclusive. This means that Amber has now narrated the audiobook version of every novel in the series to date:

Double Whammy (Audible Exclusive re-release)
Double Dip
Double Strike
Double Mint
Double Knot
Double Up
Double Dog Dare
Double Agent
Double Trouble
Double Wide
Double Dose
Double Blast

If you're unfamiliar with the series, it centres on Davis Way, who is part of the elite security team at the Bellissimo Resort and Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi. Davis and her team have dealt with thieves, con men, murderers, and more while risking life and limb more than once.

I have included the publisher's summary of Double Blast as listed on Audible.co.uk below. This is for informational purposes only no copyright infringement is intended.

Summary

“SMALL TOWN. BIG BOOM.

Davis Way Cole returns to her hometown of Pine Apple, Alabama, to fill in for her police chief father during the bustling Memorial Day Celebration. It'll be fun. Relaxing. And a no-brainer. After years of leading an elite security team at a billion-dollar casino in Biloxi, Mississippi, Davis has no doubt whatsoever she can run little ole Pine Apple in her sleep.

She should think again.

A blast from her past shows up. (With baggage.) Just before her casino-spy partner from Biloxi blows into town. (As a fugitive.) Then something goes wrong with the weed-control crew. (Terribly wrong.) And that was just Davis's first day on the job.

Her missteps that follow threaten to blow her life to smithereens. They include pilfering a botanical garden from her Biloxi employer, hiding out in a closed diner with a surprise in the freezer, and choosing a questionable-at-best team to aid and assist when a fireworks problem pops up. But all that pales next to Davis reopening Pine Apple's oldest and deepest wound. Because, as she soon learns, some small-town secrets are best left buried.
What will she do?

Everything she possibly can.”

Double Blast is an unabridged audiobook. It is available to buy 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 is entitled to download Double Blast 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.

Double Blast is also available directly from publishers Tantor Media, which offers a range of buying options on their official site. Click the link below:

I'm thrilled that Amber has once again returned to lend her vocal talents for the next exciting instalment of this unique crime mystery series. Amber uses her acting talent to great effect. She's able to bring this unique cast of characters off the page, giving them separate and distinct voices that add another exciting dimension to the series. If you haven't done so already, definitely check it out.
