Amber Benson Has Narrated The Audiobook Version of Seasonal Fears Out Now via Audible In Both The UK & USA

If like me, you're a fan of audiobooks as well as Amber then here is some exciting news. Amber has narrated the audiobook version of Seasonal Fears which was released earlier this month. Seasonal Fears was written by Amber's friend and fellow author Seanan McGuire.
 
If your regular visitor to the site, you may remember that in 2019 Amber narrated the audiobook version of Middlegame the first book in Seanan's Alchemical Journeys series. Now Amber is back to lend her vocal talents to the audiobook version of Seasonal Fears and help transport the listener back into Seanan's shadowy and dangerous world where alchemy exists.
 
Below is the official publisher's summary of Seasonal Fears. No copyright infringement is intended this is for informational purposes only:
 
“Summary
From New York Times best-selling author Seanan McGuire, Seasonal Fears is the extraordinary companion novel to Middlegame.
The king of winter and the queen of summer are dead. The fight for their crowns begins! 
Melanie has a destiny, though it isn’t the one everyone assumes it to be. She’s delicate; she’s fragile; she’s dying. Now, truly, is the winter of her soul.
 
Harry doesn’t want to believe in destiny, because that means accepting the loss of the one person who gives his life meaning, who brings summer to his world.
So, when a new road is laid out in front of them—a road that will lead through untold dangers toward a possible lifetime together—walking down it seems to be the only option.
 
But others are following behind, with violence in their hearts.
It looks like Destiny has a plan for them, after all....
“One must maintain a little bit of summer even in the middle of winter.” (Thoreau)
 
A Macmillan Audio production from Tor.com Imprint Quarterly.

Seasonal Fears 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.
 
Audible also offers a range of packages where in return for a regular monthly fee a user is entitled to download Seasonal Fears 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.
 
This update took me longer than I would have liked to add to the site due to work and other commitments but I'm really looking forward to listening to Seasonal Fears and I hope everyone enjoys it.

Lights Out Audio Drama Written by Amber Benson & Christopher Golden Is Now Available via Audible

I have some exciting news for Amber fans. I recently discovered that Lights Out written by Amber Benson and Christopher Golden is now available to buy via Audible both here in the UK and the USA as well.
 
If you're not familiar with Lights Out let me tell you more. In 2010 Amber teamed again up with her long time friend and collaborator Christopher Golden to write Lights Out, an audio drama made for the BBC. Lights Out is set within the walls of Her Majesty’s Prison Stanwick. Prison life holds no fear for newly arrived inmate Sarah well that is until she is plunged headfirst into a dark and potentially deadly mystery.
 
The role of Sarah is played by Jasmine Hyde who fellow Amber fans may remember was the voice of Tamara Swift in the online animated drama series the Ghosts of Albion which was also written by Amber and Christopher. 
 
Lights Out was made by the BBC as part of The Man in Black series. Mark Gatiss stars as the man in black a mysterious individual who you could meet almost anywhere. He could be a fellow passenger on the bus or bump into you in the supermarket. Wherever it happens to be this mysterious figure is eager to tell you a dark tale of death madness and murder etc one thing is guaranteed his tales will leave you horrified. 
 
Lights Out was originally broadcast on BBC Radio 7, which went on to become BBC Radio 4 Extra and it has been rebroadcast a number of times since its debut. I've listened to it over the years whenever it was being broadcast on the BBC. I always hoped they would make it available to purchase and much to my excitement I recently discovered the BBC have done exactly that.
 
Lights Out is now available as part of The Man in Black: The Complete Series along with 19 other macabre and chilling audio dramas each performed with a full cast of actors. 
 
The Man in Black: The Complete Series 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 this collection of audio dramas 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 Man in Black: The Complete Series as well as access 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.
 
I'm thrilled that Lights Out is now available to buy as part of this exciting collection of audio dramas and if you have never had the chance to listen before now is the perfect time, trust me you don't want to miss this.

Last month the audiobook version of Double Wide narrated by Amber was released, it’s the tenth 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 2019 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
Double Trouble
Double Wide 
 
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 Wide as listed on Audible.co.uk below. This is for informational purposes only no copyright infringement is intended.
 
"Pop Quiz
True or False: Bellissimo Resort and Casino Super Spy Davis Way Cole, her partner, Fantasy Erb, and a trivia queen named Mango Matisse are kidnapped. 
 
The answer is true. Stuffed in the storage compartment of a motorhome, the women are abducted from a golf course and abandoned on a ravaged barrier island somewhere in the Gulf.
 
Fill in the blank: Did the kidnapper get it wrong? Did he kidnap Davis thinking she was__________? 
 
The correct answer is Bianca Sanders, wife of Bellissimo Casino owner Richard Sanders.
Yes or No: Everyone in Biloxi, Mississippi is searching for them. 
 
The answer is yes. And no. When the story goes viral, not only is everyone in Biloxi trying to find them, everyone in the Deep South and beyond goes on the lookout for the missing women.

Bonus Question: When help finally arrives, will Davis learn he's no help at all? 
The answer is in Double Wide."

Amber Benson To Play The Role of Nightfall in ElfQuest: The Audio Movie

6/9/2021

There was some exciting news for fans earlier today as it was confirmed that Amber will play the role of Nightfall in ElfQuest: The Audio Movie.
 
ElfQuest was first released in 1978 as a comic book series created by Wendy and Richard Pini. Now for the first time in over 40 years they are planning to take ElfQuest from the page  into an exciting new medium. Turning their creation into an exciting professionally produced audio movie and you can help be part of it via the crowdfunding site Kickstarter.
 
First things first, what is an audio movie? A professional and talented cast of actors will voice individual characters with sound effects and a professionally produced music score,  which will offer fans a unique experience far beyond what's available on the page. It's an adaption of the first five comic books in this long-running series. Wendy Pini is adding new material and answering questions which will further expand the story beyond the original comic books.
 
ElfQuest tells the story of The Wolfriders a band of elves exiled from their home forest and forced into the desert. This brings them into a conflict with a rival elf tribe The Sun Folk which is when The Mother of Memory intervenes and sets both tribes on a new path, but can they work together?
 
Amber will join a talented cast including:
 
Alejandro Saab
Osric Chau 
Cree Summer
Divinity Roxx 
Pun Bandhu
 
Amber will play the role of Nightfall, here is her character summary from the official Kickstarter a page. “Trustworthy, brave and determined, Nightfall is defender of all she loves and believes in. She would have no fear of felling a longtooth with just a knife in her hand—but she would prefer to have her bow. A skilled huntress, she kills to provide and protect. While Nightfall embraces her rugged wolf-side, she is also an embodiment of feminine sensuality.”
 
As I said earlier ElfQuest: The Audio Movie is currently running a Kickstarter campaign where fans can help fund this unique project. The good news is this project is already successfully funded after having reached its target goal. However there is still time to join the Kickstarter the campaign with a range of rewards on offer. These include early access to ElfQuest: The Audio Movie downloadable copies, mini figures, badges, fine art prints and lots more.
 
To find out more about this exciting project and all the rewards available click the link below. 
 
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thefantasynetwork/elfquest-the-audio-movie/description
 
At the time of writing the campaign has 16 days to go and will end on 26th of June 2021 and 2 AM UK time.
 
I'm so excited that this project has already reached its funding goal. I think the character of Nightfall is perfect for Amber to play and I can't wait to hear her bring Nightfall to life using all of her extensive acting experience both on screen and in other audio projects and audiobooks. 
 
I'd like to thank fellow Amber fan Samantha for giving me a heads up earlier today about this exciting project.
 
Joe
