A little bit about Author Nicki Greenwood…

The short answer I give to this is, “I got grounded a lot as a kid.” The longer answer is that as the youngest and the only girl in my family, it was natural for me to develop an imagination so I had something to do besides hopelessly chase my brothers around asking them to play. Instead, I began scribbling in notebooks, which eventually got passed around to friends. I was writing serials before I knew they were a thing. I began writing for publication in 2010 with my first book, a paranormal lite romance titled EARTH.

Inspiration to start writing and preferred genres to write in…

I love how stories help us make sense of our world in interesting ways. The power of words has always awed me, and the healing power of love is what inspired me to write in romance (although I cut my teeth on fantasy).

Earth (The Elemental Series, Book One)Blurb

How do you save a man’s ranch when he won’t tell you he’s the reason it’s failing?

Once a powerful Earth Elemental with the gift of making anything grow, Kincade Murphy is about to lose his failing ranch. If he can’t recall his shattered power and restore his land, he and his foster siblings will be forced to leave their cherished sanctuary. He needs help, but getting it means risking discovery of his powers.

A fledgling plant biologist, Allyson Hamilton is determined to prove herself at her high-stakes university job. But when she takes on a research project at Kincade’s ranch, she finds its secretive owner too captivating to ignore.

Cade has little reason to believe Ally can help him, but then she triggers tantalizing flashes of his sleeping gift. It’s a balancing act between guilty deceit and heady desire, until they uncover a plot to force him off his land. Now he must risk it all to protect her…no matter how hard she is to resist.

Inspiration to write Earth…

I’ve always been intrigued by the elements and by paranormal abilities. I found the idea of a family who can manipulate the elements fascinating, and at the time, had never heard of a writer using such paranormal abilities in their work. There were many stories of vampires and werewolves, but the Elementals were a fresh idea.

 

What can readers expect from this book?

Earth is the story of Kincade Murphy, a rancher with the power to control the earth—an ability he gained in a mysterious childhood accident. For years, his power allows him to grow anything on his family’s Montana ranch, but when his ability starts to fade, the land begins to wither. Desperate, he turns to biologist Allyson Hamilton, but to save his ranch, he must hide the truth about his family’s extraordinary powers. As the tension between them heats up, so does the danger, and Kincade is torn between protecting his family’s secrets or risking it all for a chance at love.

Earth is the first of four books in the Elemental Series, though each of the books can be read alone. You can find more about “Earth” on my website, or take a visual walk through the book on my Pinterest page (https://www.pinterest.com/greenwood0798/earth-by-nicki-greenwood/)

My books can be found on Amazon, Google, Kobo, Smashwords, and The Wild Rose Press, among other e-book outlets.

My next book will be an independently published contemporary romance, which I’ve slated for release either this fall, or fall of 2026.
