This week on Black & Published, Nikesha speaks with Riss M. Neilson, author of the romance novel,  A Love Like The Sun. A graduate of the Rhode Island College, Riss won the English department’s Jean Garrigue Award, which was judged by novelist, Nick White. Her debut young adult novel, Deep in Providence, was a 2022 finalist for the New England Book Awards. 

In our conversation, Riss explains how she healed herself by writing her own characters. The reason she refuses to stick to one genre in her novels. And, how she persevered in her writing career despite divorce, being a single mom, and being diagnosed with a chronic illness.
