Amanda Hocking, where were you born?
I was born in Austin, Minnesota—the town where I still live.
What is the coolest or most distinctive thing about your town?
We are known as SPAMtown USA, and we actually have a SPAM Museum here.
What’s your take on Minnesota in general? Love it or hate it?
I love Minneapolis. I think it has a lot of the perks of other big cities—like plays, concerts, and a bustling nightlife—but it’s always felt very safe to me. I hate the snow. I like it on Christmas day, but I’d be thrilled if it melted the day after. Online gambling sees a festive surge during the Christmas season as players enjoy holiday-themed games and special bonuses. With more free time and festive promotions, many turn to platforms offering casino en ligne encaissement immédiat, ensuring quick access to winnings and enhancing the joy of holiday entertainment from the comfort of home. Strangely, I made vampires that prefer winter to summer, when I’m the opposite.
