Interview with N. R. Emerald, Author of Bishop’s Soul

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Bishop’s Soul?

Bishop’s Soul is ultimately about the courage to look inward and confront buried truths. Healing within yourself must come first before you can embrace love and the future, even when the journey is filled with both internal struggles and external challenges.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Bishop’s Soul, what would they be?

Fix You by Coldplay.

What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

I enjoy billionaire romances and mafia stories, but not the dark ones with explicit sex scenes. What I love most is a good romance with a great story and strong characters. Lately, I’ve also been enjoying books that lean more heavily into mystery, such as The Couple on Cedar Close by Anna-Lou Weatherley, which I read recently.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

Lucky Window by Samantha Verant.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

Too many to count. Although I’m a plotter, this book kept surprising me.

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

I prefer to write early in the morning between 5 a.m. and 7:30 a.m., though I can edit at any time of day. I always keep a cup of coffee beside me, even if it goes cold, I’ll still drink it. I also like to have a candle burning with a soothing scent, which helps keep me energized.

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

A mistake is only a mistake if you don’t learn from it.

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

Change starts with you. No one can change unless they truly want to, and no one else can do it for them.
