More About Emma Lea

One of the questions I'm most often asked is if Emma Lea is my daughter. 

I have to answer, no. I was blessed with two sons and two step-daughters and young woman whom I love as if she were my daughter. They fill my life with such love that I never felt that I needed to create a character to fill the place of a real person.

Emma Lea is a fictional character which means that she was created in my imagination. But she is still very real to me. Writers work very hard to make their characters come to life. But sometimes it feels as if you're just getting to know them. That's how it was for me and Emma Lea.

One of the first things about her was that she is a "problem solver".  She's the one who doesn't give up until she figures out a way to make things right for her family and friends. Some of her stories are called The Magic Teapot Stories. In these stories, her way of sharing teatime is often the way to solve a problem.

I will be posting more of the Emma Lea Magic Teapot Stories and telling you more about Emma Lea in the next few posts at this site.
