ⓘ About Amber Benson
Amber Nicole Benson gained popularity as an astounding author after her series “Ghosts of Albion” (with Christopher Golden) recorded huge mainstream success. Since then, she has authored many other series of books as well as stand-alone novels. Born to a Jewish father and Baptist mother on January 8, 1977, in Birmingham, Alabama, Benson grew up attending a Reform temple in Alabama. As a child, she studies arts and frequently performed in theaters and in the Birmingham Children’s Ballet. Her family then moved to Florida so that she could pursue acting opportunities. While there, she landed a role in an unsold TV series called Kids’ News. The flopped series forced the family to move to Los Angeles in 1992 where Benson’s acting career would flourish soon after. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Ghosts of Albion Books series, Amber Benson has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
