Amber Was The Special Guest on a Recent Episode of Turn The Page Podcast

3/17/2021

A few days ago, I was excited to learn that Amber had recently been the special guest of the Turn The Page Podcast. This isn't a podcast I was familiar with and I was intrigued to learn that it is in fact the official podcast of The Syosset Public Library in Nassau County, New York USA. Their team of librarians host and produce the podcast and discuss all things literary including talking to special guests.
 
As well as being an author herself Amber has a passion for books so her appearance on Turn The Page was a perfect fit for her. Amber talks about how she began her career as a writer before discussing her own works including, Ghosts of Albion, The Calliope Reaper-Jones Series and The Witches of Echo Park Trilogy. 

Amber recalls how her career has an actor influences her writing and how she uses her training to narrate audiobooks for a series of top authors as well as her own work. We get a mysterious hint or two as Amber reveals she's working on a top-secret project and there’s lots more interesting discussion too.

I really enjoyed this interesting podcast, it's definitely a must listen for any Amber fan. Thank you to friend and fellow Amber fan Katie for letting me know about this podcast.

On January 30th Amber joined a number of former co-stars and fellow Buffy the Vampire Slayer cast members as part of an online convention. "Meet The Cast Of Buffy The Vampire Slayer” was arranged by convention organisers GalaxyCon who like others have been holding online events due to the Covid 19 pandemic.
 
Amber was joined by James Masters, Clare Kramer, Emma Caulfield and Mark Metcalfe who played The Master in Season 1. The panel formed part of the online convention and was streamed live. All the guest answered questions from fans around the world who had tuned in to watch. Amber and co also reminisced about their individual memories of the show.
 
Recently organisers GalaxyCon made this panel available to watch on demand for free via their official YouTube channel, giving fans another chance to see Amber and her fellow cast members. 
 
I have embedded the video below, just click the play button to watch the panel which is
over 46 minutes long.
Please Note: This panel was recorded before the recent serious allegations against Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon came to light.
 
It's always nice to have the opportunity to see and hear from Amber and I’d like to thank friend of the site Samantha for giving me a heads up about this video being available on demand.

Amber Benson & Charisma Carpenter To Hold A Meet And Greet With Fans Online In February

1/27/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
There was some exciting news for fans earlier this week as Amber confirmed via her official social media accounts that she and Charisma Carpenter will hold a virtual meet and greet event with fans online in February.
 
As the coronavirus pandemic continues to affect the lives of everyone around the globe one of the many things that has been halted temporarily is traditional conventions where fans can meet their favourite stars. Charisma Carpenter decided to give her fans the chance to meet with her online via the MyCon.live website where fans can buy one-to-one video chats via Zoom, autographs and more.
 
For this latest exciting event Charisma has teamed up with her fellow Buffy The Vampire Slayer star and friend Amber Benson. Amber and Charisma never had the opportunity to work together on Buffy which is a shame, I think it would have been interesting if Tara and Cordelia had crossed paths. The pair did work together however on a movie, The Griddle House which was released in 2018.
 
The meet and greet will be similar to a roundtable discussion which are sometimes called "guest encounters" at traditional conventions. Guests talk to a limited number of fans who can ask questions. This event will last for 45 minutes and is strictly limited to just 25 people and it will be held on the Zoom video calling platform. Tickets are still available for this event at the time this post was first published on AmberBenson.TV.
 
The meet and greet is set to take place on Saturday the 27th of February at 12 PM Pacific Time which I believe is 8 PM GMT in the UK. For full details and to buy tickets click the link below:
 
https://mycon.live/shop/p/meet-amp-greet-with-amber-benson-and-charisma-carpenter
 
This promises to be a fun and exciting event. I already have my ticket and I look forward to seeing Amber, Charisma and fellow fans too of course.

Wales Comic Con has held a number of these online Comic Con events throughout 2020. This weekend marks the final one of the year and as part of that they are giving fans the chance to see a live replay of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer panel originally held back in May.
 
Amber was joined by her fellow Buffy co-stars:

The panel is a must see for any Amber/Buffy fan as Amber and co discuss life in lockdown and share their experiences and memories of what it was like to be part of the Buffyverse. There are some brilliant behind-the-scenes stories and a lot of laughs too, I can highly recommend it.

Amber Benson In Discussion with Cory Doctorow & John Rogers Hosted By Brookline Booksmith Now Available on YouTube

As some fans may know Amber recently narrated the audiobook version of Attack Surface by Cory Doctorow. Cory completed a Kickstarter campaign where he was offering fans the chance to get their hands on the Attack Surface audiobook.
 
While the Kickstarter campaign was ongoing Cory organised a series of lectures discussing some of the central themes within the book and other issues with a variety of guests. As part of this on October 14 the Massachusetts bookstore Brookline Booksmith hosted a special online event where Cory was joined by Amber Benson and screenwriter John Rogers.
 
They not only discuss Attack Surface but also the differences between writing for the screen and writing prose for a novel. Cory, John and Amber talk about their individual approaches to writing. Amber is an actor and shared her experience of performing words written by others. She is also a novelist and recently has worked on a number of projects for television so is uniquely placed to offer an insight into all of these.
 
I attended the live online event it was a fascinating discussion that I really enjoyed. The good news for fans who couldn't be there on the day is event hosts Brookline Booksmith have recently made the discussion available to watch on their official YouTube channel. I have embedded the video below:

This update took a little bit longer to get online than I would have liked but I'm so glad I was able to post the video. I re-watched it again this afternoon and enjoyed it all over again. I highly recommend it.
