New Amber interview at BBC Cult

[lorien]

Are we any closer to getting Ghosts on CD/DVD? Could they be waiting to find out how successful the novels are?

[nerissa picadizo]

ONE DAY TO GO!!!

waiting for my pre-orders and breathing in excited anticipation-- can't wait to read Accursed

--hoping and wishing for the book's great success!!!

[WebWarlock]

Hey all,

Just as a reminder. "Ghosts of Albion: Accursed" is out tomorrow.
Some stores are selling it now (I was able to find copies at a couple of places around Chicago) and of course online.

If you order from Shocklines you can get an autographed copy.

Amazon,
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/de ... 34547130X/

Barnes and Nobles,
http://search.barnesandnoble.com/bookse ... 034547130X

Or your own local place.

Remember. Like all things, first week sales make the most impact, so if you are going to buy it, sooner is much better than later.

Also with the Holidays coming up it is never too early to think about those people in your life that might enjoy this book. Pick up 2 (or 3!)

Thanks!

Waiting for my pre-ordered copy from Amazon.com to come in the mail but I did get a thrill of satisfaction and did the maniacal laughter and rubbing of the hands in glee at seeing the name of Amber Benson prominently displayed on a Halloween stand at my local Barnes and Noble.

[Dana5140]

The Coralville Mall one? If so, I have to stop on by.

[taralicious]

Dana,
I was at the B&N in Cedar Rapids but I'm sure the one in Coralville would have Amber and Chris's tome as well.

[WebWarlock]

For Chicago Kittens, the huge Borders on State has many copies and the manager is a big Amber fan.

I talked to the staff and about it and they seemed excited.

If you read it and like it, please share that knowledge with others. Or post a review at Amazon.

I think "Best Selling" or "Award Winning" Author would be another nice accolade for the talented Ms. Benson.

[Dana5140]

TL- we have to get Prairie Lights to show the book as well. I didn't know there was a BN in Cedar Rapids, so I will have to check that one out next time I am up that way. I have not yet seen the book here in Davenport, but our local Borders is undergoing rearrangement so is a mess, and I have not been to the BN in about a week. Guess I know what I am doing during lunch today!

[Feena]

Mine came this morning, it's a lovely book and smells great! I love the smell of new books

[AmbersSecretAdmirer]

Well, at the moment I am a little upset with news that there are no plans to release the novel here in the UK. So I will ahve to go to my local bookstore and order it. Will do so in the next few days.

[nerissa picadizo]

Accursed is of "The 10 bestselling advance order items for the week of October 24th" at Shocklines:

store.yahoo.com/shockline...dorit.html

or should we say THE BESTSELLING ADVANCE ORDER ITEM!!

store.yahoo.com/shockline...llers.html


--This is sooo wonderful! CONGRATS!!!

Im expecting 3 copies of the book...sometimes indulgence pays off !

[AmbersSecretAdmirer]

Well, I have placed my entries into the competition. Will be fun to see who the winners are.

And I just want to say how much I envy the person who will receive the phone call.

I will hopefully order the book in the next few days from my local bookstore. Hopefully it will arrive before Xmas.

[Willow~Rosenberg]

I was at a Barnes&Noble today and picked up my copy.

Now I just have to find a spare minute to read it.

[tarawhipped]

Hmmm....interesting question, captain katie. I couldn't help but notice that "Tamara" can be unscrambled as "am Tara." And check out the widow's peak...that bears a striking resemblance to a certain redhead.

My very carefully thought-out hypothesis is thus: Tamara is Willow and Tara's magickally (under a tree) conceived love child, sent back in time to...uhhh...solve mysteries and stuff (forgive me, I just started reading Astray).

I'm not sure it's that carefully thought out.

That said, it makes more sense than it has any right to be.

[WebWarlock]

I have my own theories as well. But I wanna wait to see how they play out.

BTW, finished ACCURSED. Freaking brilliant.

Love the title.

An afterlife for Tara
Amber Benson, once a lesbian icon on ‘Buffy,’ finds a new calling as co-author of horror series

By NEIL JAMES
Friday, November 04, 2005

Read and enjoy.

[BFR from Paris]

Benson will easily find a built in audience in the form of her frothing “Taraholics.” As the title evolves into a series of novels (and perhaps a television series?), the afterlife looks very good for at least one member of the former Scooby Gang.

Excellent

I've just found the new GoA website and ordered a copy of "Accursed" from Amazon.fr (the only French website that offers it, apparently - 12 euros, if you're interested), I'm glad this is still going on!

Christine

[AmbersSecretAdmirer]

Once a lesbian icon? I was under the impression that she still is an icon to many lesbians, not only for portraying such a well-loved lesbian character, but for being a strong female role-model as well.

Read the book report, good to se they see this move as something positive and will give her a life after Buffy (as if that was in any doubt).

My very carefully thought-out hypothesis is thus: Tamara is Willow and Tara's magickally (under a tree) conceived love child, sent back in time to...uhhh...solve mysteries and stuff (forgive me, I just started reading Astray).

I really like your theory , much better than Tamara being a past life of Tara. That's too icky to think about and I hope Amber and Chris don't go there.

[tarebear]

Tamara is Willow and Tara's magickally (under a tree) conceived love child, sent back in time to...uhhh...solve mysteries and stuff

yup, i have to go with tarawhipped on this one... that'll definitely be an interesting scenario.

[FineyMcFine]

Tamara is Willow and Tara's magickally (under a tree) conceived love child...

...which happens in the very next chapter of Coming Back.

[Morganlafay]

William and Tamara : Willow and Tara

When I first saw that I was like, "you're kidding, right?" I bet Amber did it just for us kittens.

[jago]

I bet Amber did it just for us kittens.

I really hope not. I can't imagine a straight or bi Tara appealing to many kittens.

I prefer Tara gay.

[SithLordWiccan]

I prefer Tara gay.

Who wouldn't?
