So you've mentioned a few times that your mother's family was originally from Scotland and your father was German, with much of Emily's plot being in a lot of ways a metaphor for your own life (or that's how it seems, maybe I'm a bit off base here.) how did you land on having Emily be from Ireland?

Hello Darling!
I believe that Emil(y) came to me as a way for me to work through elements of my life that I was not ready to talk about myself. I believe that Emil(y) is Irish because my own family, on the maternal side, had branched into Ireland from Scotland by the time Emil(y) would have been born. On my mother's side, the family is further traced back to Scotland, moving to Ireland, moving to Somerset, England, then to Canada, then to the US. I imagine I could write about an alter-ego existing in the various time periods in any one of these places;)...
All my love,
EA

Emilie Autumn:
Thank you so much for being open about your disorder. I was recently fired because I didn't "leave my bipolar disorder out of the workplace." How do you suggest I educate my employers about the disorder without getting defensive or them looking at me like I'm incapable after proving myself otherwise? Thank you.
