Playing Ella McShane in Steven Soderbergh's classic film King of the Hill and her role as Tara Maclay on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

The Last Dream Keeper is published by Ace Books which is part of the Penguin Group USA what follows is the overview of the book from their official website:

“In the second Witches of Echo Park novel, one coven must keep the world in balance and stand against a rising darkness.

Lyse MacAllister did not step into an easy role when she took over as master of the Echo Park coven of witches after her great-aunt Eleanora’s death. As she begins to forge the bonds that will help her lead her sisters, she struggles to come to terms with her growing powers. And she soon faces a deadly new threat. A group of fanatics intent on bringing about the end of times has invaded the witches Council—but the Council is turning a blind eye to the danger growing in its midst.


Only one witch is prophesied to be able to stop the encroaching darkness. And if Lyse and her blood sisters are to have any chance at protecting all we know from being lost forever, they must keep her safe—no matter what the cost…”

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

2/9/2015

Picture
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.
