Glossary Of Broken Dreams Starring Amber Benson Is Now Available In The UK Via Amazon Instant Video

8/12/2019

As I was preparing my previous update about the UK release of The Nightmare Gallery I discovered that Glossary of Broken Dreams also starring Amber is now available in the UK.

Last year Amber posted on her official social media accounts that she was starring in Glossary Of Broken Dreams. Well actually Amber in typically modest fashion describes it as "I helped out on the film Glossary of Broken Dreams"

Created by filmmaker Johannes Grenzfurthner Glossary of Broken Dreams employs a mixture of live-action sequences, animation and stock footage. He examines key political concepts, discourses and as narrator he re-evaluates them during the course of the film.

Amber plays the role of Pfefferkarree McCormick, at the time I wasn't able to find out much information about the character Amber plays. I don’t know whether we’ll see Amber in a live action sequence or if she is lending her vocal talents to an animated section of the film. I haven't had a chance to watch the film yet so if anyone has more information on the character Amber plays please feel free to leave a comment on this post or through email or social media via the buttons at the top of AmberBenson.TV homepage. I always enjoy hearing from fellow fans.

Glossary of Broken Dreams is now available via Amazon instant video platform in the UK. It is available to rent and buy to download or stream via desktop, laptop, smartphone, tablet, smart TV and more. If you're an Amazon Prime Member the film is available for free as part of your membership package. To find out more and view click the link below to watch the trailer and see your viewing options.

Amber Has Written The Script For Morning Show Mysteries: Death By Design For The Hallmark Network

6/13/2019

Amber recently added to her growing body of work as a writer for television penning the script/teleplay for Morning Show Mysteries: Death By Design. This is the second movie in the Morning Show Mystery Series that Amber has written following on from a Murder In Mind which had its premiere earlier this year.

The series centers on Billie Blessings (Holly Robinson Peete) a successful restaurateur turned talk show host. Billie was once suspected of murder but after clearing her name with the help of Detective Ian Jackson (Rick Fox) the pair remained friends and occasionally find themselves at the heart of another mystery.

In Death By Design Billie’s best friend Marian is hired to redecorate the TV studio. Work comes to an end when Marian’s twin sister is found murdered and naturally Billie and Ian are on the case hot on the trail of the killer.

As regular visitors to AmberBenson.TV will know I pride myself on providing all the latest news on Amber's projects as quickly as I can. On this occasion however I somehow missed the premiere of Death By Design. I only discovered it had premiered earlier this week. I'm disappointed that I wasn't able to post an update before the premiere but of course it's fantastic that Amber has written another mystery for television.

Death By Design premiered on the 28th of April on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Channel available via cable providers in the USA. To find out more visit the movie's dedicated page on the Hallmark Murders and Mysteries website and its page on IMDb too. (Click the hyperlinks)

At the moment I don't know when Death By Design is due to be shown again. I will do my best to keep everyone informed. As ever please feel free to leave any information in the comments section below this post or contact us through our email and social media feeds.

I hope everyone who has the opportunity to watch it will enjoy it and as ever we wish Amber good luck with this project.

Amber Has Narrated The Audiobook Version Of Double Agent - Out Now

5/29/2019

Earlier this month the audiobook version of Double Agent narrated by Amber was released, it’s the latest novel in Gretchen Archer’s Davis Way Crime Caper 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 when it was first released in 2013. In January this year Amber narrated the anniversary edition of the Double Whammy audiobook released as an Audible exclusive. 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

If you're not familiar with the series it centers on Davis Way who is part of the elite security team at 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 Agent as listed on Audible.co.uk below. This is for informational purposes only no copyright infringement is intended.

“This just in

On the weather front, category four Hurricane Kevin took a last-minute left and is headed straight for the Bellissimo Resort and Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi.

In breaking news, undercover casino operative Davis Way has one foot out the evacuation door when 50 million dollars disappear, and in its place, a dead body.

In other news, if forced to ride out the storm on the hotel's 13th-floor fortress, Davis won't be alone. Her husband, Bradley, her best friend, Fantasy, and a crew of highly trained first responders will be hurricane hostages, too, along with Mississippi State Gaming Agents, a FEMA agent, an insurance agent, a State Special Agent, and an Emergency Response Agent - at least one of them a double agent.
The good news is her high school reunion is cancelled.

The bad news is everything else. The fake news features a castaway pig named Bacon.

The hurricane heist headlines will be sensational. If Davis survives to see them.

Amber Has Narrated The Audiobook Version Of Middlegame - Out Now

5/29/2019

Amber revealed in March that she was set to narrate the audiobook version of friend and fellow author Seanan McGuire’s new novel Middlegame. Middlegame is a stand-alone fantasy novel filled with alchemy and magic. Below is the publisher’s summary taken from Audible.co.uk no copyright infringement is intended.

"Summary
This program is read by Amber Benson.

New York Times best-selling and Alex, Nebula, and Hugo Award-winning author Seanan McGuire introduces listeners to a world of amoral alchemy, shadowy organizations, and impossible cities in the stand-alone fantasy Middlegame.

Meet Roger. Skilled with words, languages come easily to him. He instinctively understands how the world works through the power of story.

Meet Dodger, his twin. Numbers are her world, her obsession, her everything. All she understands, she does so through the power of math.

Roger and Dodger aren’t exactly human, though they don’t realise it. They aren’t exactly gods, either. Not entirely. Not yet.

Meet Reed, skilled in the alchemical arts like his progenitor before him. Reed created Dodger and her brother. He’s not their father. Not quite. But he has a plan: to raise the twins to the highest power, to ascend with them and claim their authority as his own.

Godhood is attainable. Pray it isn’t attained.
©2019 Seanan McGuire (P)2019 Macmillan Audio”

Middlegame audiobook is unabridged and out now. The audiobook is available to buy from Audible both here in the UK click here and in the USA click here, both sites offer the facility to buy the audiobook for a one-off fee for non-members.
