Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum Amber Benson has a new book, her first solo novel (it’s actually a 3-book series). She is the co-author of the Ghosts of Albion series, novels based on the BBC Cult animation created, written, and directed by Amber herself (written together with critically acclaimed fantasy writer Christopher Golden).
Reviews have been coming out and it sounds like something I’d totally check out. Ok, that’s also because I’m a total Buffy nut and I think Amber is uber cool, erudite, and talented and all that. I mean, just read her blog.
Death’s Daughter is an urban fantasy about a sassy heroine who wants to live a normal life but woke up to realization that she is the Grim Reaper’s daughter and that she must save her family (and perhaps the world) by completing three nearly impossible tasks in the realm of the afterlife.
I wonder, if you find out that you are Death’s daughter, wouldn’t you want to take a paternity test just to be sure? Sorry, that’s so lame [the suggestion, not the book].
Update: There’s an awesome video of Amber’s Writers on Writing panel (taken on February 8 at the New York Comic Con) up at Buffyfest where she talked about the different media of writing and how blogging is changing the world of publishing. It’s pretty neat.
