Author Mina J. Moore


A writer at heart, I've been putting words together for years now. I love to write about hot bad boy heroes and strong feisty women. Paranormal is my favorite but I can skip around to other Romantic genres without a problem!
Deadly Temptations is a Romantic Suspense and the first book in my Temptations Series. Look for Forbidden Temptations coming soon. Also look for A Vampire's Touch, a Prequel to The Red Velvet Trilogy...this fall.
I'd love to hear from you. Visit me

I have read books ever since I can remember. I decided to start my own editing business because that has always been a major pet peeve of mine.

I would think to myself, "the authors spend all this money on editors and they still miss some mistakes." So I guess I have always wanted to have some hand in book making, but since I don't write, this is the best thing I wanted to do.

I remember always thinking, "How did they miss this big of a mistake!" LOL

Good News! I DO Have a Heart!

Recently, I have received information that has caused me to re-evaluate my priorities. After have a bout with what I thought was extreme heartburn, I went to see a gastrointerologist. I was pleased to find that I did not suffer from ulcers or acid reflux. The doctor then sent me for a echo-cardiogram to rule out issues with my heart, but considering that I can run three miles and am in reasonably good shape, he didn't expect anything to be found. He was wrong. Apparently, I have suffered at least one, and likely more, heart attacks within the past six months. The good news is they didn't kill me. The bad news is, it still could.

It funny, though my first thoughts were of my family, I found myself worried that I wouldn't live long enough to finish the books I so very much want to write. I feel compelled to complete what my son helped me start. I want to leave him a piece of me that he can one day share with his children.

So now it's time to be poked and prodded, in the hope I can extend my stay on this little blue ball...at least long enough to do what I need to do.

Author T.K. Harris-on her new novel Phantom Dreams

It started with a dream. I know cliché right? But it really did. I had a dream that I was walking through a large crowd of people, surrounded by white canvas tents. I am moving quickly but don't know why, when suddenly the crowd parts and there is a man in front of me, carrying a sword and it is aimed right at me. Then, just as quickly, the woman is no longer me and I am now watching. I woke up before the sword drove home. And that's how Phantom Dreams was born.
I wish I could say that I wrote it all down in a flash and everything just worked itself out. BUT, that didn't happen. First it percolated in my brain while I went about being a full-time mother while working a 60 hour a week job. (And that was a short week!). And then, I began writing down bits and pieces late at night in between trying to write and publish stories. Only to become more and more frustrated. First, the stories that I had sold to date were short stories. In fact, the first publication I had ever been paid for was a 1200 word mystery sold to mysterynet.net. But it is a very different skill set to go from short stories to a full-length novel. I was good at cutting to the chase, getting to the point and well, you know the rest. So, I floundered.
For the next few years I put most of my effort into my work, family, multitude of projects (I'm a Gemini and we can't help it), subsequent divorce, the 2008/2009 job fiasco, and the many other awesomely awful and wonderful things that life carelessly threw in my path and laughingly under my feet to see how many times it could make me fall. (I still have scars!) And, sometimes I would work on my book. And then, one day, I got frustrated for a different reason. And, then, I got mad. And, then, I got focused. I made myself sit down and write a list of what I wanted out of life. My ideal job. My ideal partner. My ideal finances. My projects. And I wrote those lists and decided to start focusing. My first project was paying of debt (still working on that!). The second was finishing the d*m# book! The right way. (Or is it the "write" way? – Feel free to groan.)
I put the book out to readers. Got feedback. And then began the arduous task of editing, rewriting and editing some more. And then began putting it out there on Amazon, Barnes & Nobles, Kobo, etc. I got a great review on Kirkus Reviews and started getting great comments. I have marketed, tweaked it, re-edited it and developed a new book cover since but I still remember my first "real" sell. Not the books that were bought by friends and family. No. It was that one sell when you realized someone you didn't know, bought it. And now, all I can ask myself is, why didn't I do this sooner?
T. K. Harris
You can purchase Phantom Dreams at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo.

T.K. Harris is a great writer from my hometown and I would appreciate it if you would take the time and check this book out on amazon.com. Buying it would be great, but if you could simply click "like" you have no idea how much it helps an author. After 50 likes the book gets treated differently by amazon.
Thanks,

First Pro Game

I saw my first live NFL game last night. What a fun time! The Jets lost to the Texans...but it didn't matter to me. I'm a Saints fan. My only regret is that I couldn't take my son. The tickets were a part of a birthday gift to a friend from his sister and one was bought for me. I nearly gave it up a sent Jon, but I wasn't sure about the whole pre-game tail-gating thing. Turns out we didn't get there until kick off, so no tail-gating. Anyway I had a blast.
I checked prices for the games and to my great surprise they are only $30 per ticket, as long as you don't mind sitting in the nose bleed section, which I don't. The whole game I kept thinking "I'm taking Jon this season". I remember going to my first pro baseball game. We had terrible seats and one of the adults got completely drunk and made a fool of himself, but I didn't care. I saw Dale Murphy hit a home run! I still remember it clearly and it stil makes me smile.
Yeah. I think $60 for two tickets and $27 for parking will be a bargain if 30 years later my son is remembering his first pro football game with his old man and smiling.

It's Ready!!!

Okay...It's been three days of pouring over edits and notes and I'm finally finished. Book Two is ready. For those of you you follow my posts you may remember "Book Two Jitters". Jitters? Bah!!! It has become a panic. I'm a new author on the best sellers list putting out the second book in a series. I thought I knew pressure. I was wrong. Wish me luck.

Debate!!! Tonight!!!

Tonight is the first Presidential debate. We will all have the chance to watch a spontaneous, off the cuff, honest.....I'm sorry, I couldn't keep writing that with a straight face. The fact is, the entire debate is going to be a pre-packaged, scripted, puff piece. The odds of any new information coming to light is so slim as to be laughable. Still, like so many, I'll watch as the two men hoping to persuade America that they have a plan (and now days it seems all you need is a plan. Not one that may work...just a plan), and can help this country dig its way out of its self-made hole.
I am curious about the aftermath. There will be a unending fountain of punditry on the both the left and right; each will be cutting and pasting the candidates words together to support their own positions. It makes for good entertainment and my life can get dull from time to time.
