Mina Carter

About the Author

Mina Carter can be found exploring in the middle of the English countryside with her real-life hero and their young daughter ... the true boss of the family. As a successful business woman, Mina never tires of learning new skills; qualified in such fields as Aromatherapy, welding, and corsetry.

She juggles full-time mumhood, running a family business, and writing, tossing another ball in the air with her cover artwork. For her, writing time is the wee hours of the morning or any spare minute that can be begged, bought, or conned.

Her first stories were penned at age of 11, when she used a stationery set meant for Christmas thank you letters to write stories instead. More recently, she wrote for her own amusement to save on outrageous monthly book bills, as well as for the masses of friends on her doorstep demanding longer stories. Now you'll find her reading and writing original worlds where the paranormal is everyday and the romance is a must.

Practically living online, Mina can usually be found lurking around the Blade Publishing forums, Cobblestone's Main Street, or the e_roticromance group on LJ.

“Whatever else he was, she had to admit he had guts. She wouldn’t want to be shut up in a room with an angry Kyn either. Whilst his pixie heritage might have protected him from being turned into a vampire, it did buggar all to protect him from being dead.”

The only vampire warrioress in existence Vixen has spent most of her life proving herself in a man’s world, but she’s never been able to squash some very feminine thoughts where fellow warrior Kalen is concerned. Kalen however, has sworn off love, preffering to deal in lust instead.

But a passionate encounter blows their carefully constructed indifference to each other and when Vixen is kidnapped will they be prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice to give their love a chance?

Reviews for Vixen

Romance Junkies - 3.5 Blue Ribbon Rating

“VIXEN was a good read. A blend of different paranormal elements lent an air of mystery to the story. Usually vampire stories are so similar I don’t enjoy them but this is different so I found myself enjoying it instead of being bored by it. Ms. Carter should be proud of this baby.” ladybirdrobi, Romance Junkies Reviewer. Read the review

Manic Readers - 4.5 stars

“Vixen by Mina Carter is a really great short story. Just long enough to keep you spellbound, it gives you enough back ground to know what is happening and takes you on a quick trip into the lives of the characters. Vixen is great, a hard exterior covering a soft heart and Kalen is perfectly typical, not really knowing what he wants until he’s almost lost it. I truly enjoyed this book especially the glimpse into the future at the end.” Valerie, MR Reviewer. Read the review

Coffeetime Romance - 4 Cups!

“I really enjoyed this quick read. Kalen and Vixen are charismatic characters with a strong attraction to each other. Vixen has always been different and has never felt wanted and Kalen was rejected and betrayed by his former wife. Once they act on the attraction the love scenes are scorchers. The second part of the book is in a different area entirely. The scenes in the pixie’s barrow are exciting and not at all what I expected. I cannot wait to read more about the world of the Kyn.” Maura, Reviewer for Coffee Time Romance. Read the Review

Moon Madness

It's never easy staying ahead of the pack when hunting for the right man.

Penny Stephens is a wolf with problems. She's contended with her wild side all her life, but it's about to catch up with her. She needs a mate who can love the woman and tame the wolf within.

Not just any wolf will do.

Lone wolf Cade Steele could be the one to fill her needs. He's wolf enough to match her animal instinct, and perhaps enough of a gentleman to satisfy her feminine side. As a mated pair, her bed might become part of his territory, but her heart is another matter.

More than love is at stake in this call of the wild.

Warning: Paranormal geeks, a sexy loner and hot sex (oh, and chocolate cake).

Reviews for Moon Madness

Coffeetime Romance - 5 cups!!

“The title grabbed my attention and the first page reeled me in. I read it from front to back and loved every page of it. Penny is a woman who is not afraid of taking what she wants. Cade is rough and sexy, yet appreciates Penny’s toughness. These two as a couple are incredible. While fast-paced and adventurous, the storyline slowed down in the right places. While I was sad to see this book end, I do look forward to more from Ms. Carter.” Kimberly, Reviewer for Coffee Time Romance. Read the review

Book Binge - 4 out of 5

“I really liked this story. I’d not read anything by this author before and enjoyed her writing. She has funny, strong characters and an interesting plot…well, and I’m a sucker for a “were” story.” Tracy, Guest reviewer for Book Binge. Read the review
