Oooh oooh! What're the Aussie stereotypes?
My favorite Yank one is just that there's lowered expectations for a Yank's intelligence or understanding. Even Brits who'd swear they don't feel that way do it sometimes. It's honestly kinda *freeing* for someone who has v. high expectations for herself 😂

Oh, I should have put in a laugh emoji, sorry! No need to apologize. I always find the assumptions that (some) Brits make about Yanks to be deeply amusing. It only increases my enjoyment when I'm in the UK 😁

There's an attitude in the UK that all Yanks have the space/money/jealousy of historical shit/weird desires that they don't repress, & would be able to afford and find room for such items
I wish! (At least for the first 2 items—and having the first 2 does enhance what you can do with the latter 😁)

"There's obviously a possibility it could end up in a private collection, possibly the US. And the fact it's got to do with interrogation and torture, I think that will appeal to a certain type of American collector."
So it's only us Yanks who might collect something like this? 😉😁

There are three "on ramps" to the series: you could start with Book I, Blood Ex Libris, or the 3 novella collection Blood Triad, or "just a taste" That Lesbian Vampire Pirate Story. Any of those are good starting points...but if you want Amber to read it to you, you want Blood Ex Libris! 😁

I know! I will never be chill about that. Amber Fucking Benson reads *my* audiobooks! It's so cool! 😃🤓

Both! I just did the Historic Lesbian Motif Podcast (audio, although I got a clip of vid for promotion) and closer to Halloween I'll be doing an IG live with the amazing Paulette Kennedy

Oh, it's not *bad disturbance*, just I'm so busy! All the vending I've been doing, the Halloween theme podcasts (vampire writers become popular 😁) and all the rerls/videos and other content I've been making for promotion
It's all good, fun stuff. But it does get in the way of writing 🫤
