Birmingham’s Amber Benson to face Reddit on Jan. 5

Amber Benson, The Witches of Echo Park

Actress/writer/director Amber Benson wants you to ask her anything, as long as it’s weird.

With her new book, “The Witches of Echo Park” [Amazon | iTunes aff. links], coming out next week, the Birmingham native (now living in Los Angeles) will field questions as part of Reddit’s Ask Me Anything chat at 2 p.m. Jan. 5. But she’d prefer something beyond the boring standby questions.

Benson said via Tumblr that the Redditor asking the weirdest question wins a custom video from her. You win, she films herself praising you to your secret crush, video goes online, you and your crush live happily ever after.

“The Witches of Echo Park” arrives Jan. 6.
