Emily Greenwood | 10 Fascinating Things about MISCHIEF BY MOONLIGHT
June 25, 2014
Thanks very much for having me here today to celebrate my new release, MISCHIEF BY MOONLIGHT. It’s
the last in my Regency Mischief series, and I hope readers will find
the story funny and touching. Here’s a little list with the lowdown: 10 Fascinating things about MISCHIEF BY MOONLIGHT 1. It’s a love potion story! But it’s not a magical potion, LOL. It’s something
made from flowers—think morning glories, which can cause hallucination. And, in
this case, romantic mischief. 2. It’s a love triangle story! The hero, Colin, the Earl of Ivorwood, is in love
with his best friend’s fiancé, Miss Josie Cardworthy. Her fiancé has been away
at war for a year when the story opens, and in the meanwhile, she’s had a chance
to become very good friends with Colin, whose property adjoins her family’s
home. But she has no thought of ever being attracted to her handsome neighbor…
at least not until her eyes are opened. 3. Colin and Josie sometimes play a little game that Josie calls “not-dancing.”
She doesn’t realize Colin has a very good reason for not dancing. 4. I’ve always had a soft spot for those still-waters-run deep guys, and Colin
is one of my favorite kinds of heroes—tall, dark, and reserved, he keeps his
deepest feelings to himself. In short, he’s an introvert, but that doesn’t mean
he’s shy or quiet. In Josie’s words, Colin just doesn’t “need people”—though
this is definitely not the case where Josie’s concerned. 5. Josie, on the other hand, is an extravert, and prone to impulsive decisions,
so she’s always ready for fun. But she doesn’t always consider the possible
consequences—like when she decides she needs kissing practice. 6. Josie, who’s worried that her sister will end up an unhappy spinster, thinks
that her very good friend Colin would make a wonderful husband for her sister.
She has no idea that Colin’s already smitten with Josie herself. Perhaps if she
had realized this, she wouldn’t have given him the love potion… 7. Josie’s sister may not be the best candidate for matchmaking—she has some
pretty particular ideas about the kind of man she should marry. She’s also
completely wrong, as she discovers. 8. And then there’s Josie’s long-absent fiancé, a handsome and dashing army
captain. As Josie begins to acknowledge her attraction to Colin, what will
happen when her fiancé returns? Josie and Colin are both honorable people, but
love and fate have twists and turns in store for them. 9. Josie’s mother is kind of a nightmare. But in a sort of good way :) 10. And finally, this: every time I typed “moonlight” when I was writing this
book, it came out as “mooblight.” Just don’t think Mischief by Mooblight works
as a title, though. What traits do you most value in a hero or heroine?

Honesty, sense of humor, true. For both him and her. ;-) (Lisa Hutson 1:12am June 25, 2014)
Traits for a hero would be Scotish, rugged, smart, can hold his own at a dinner conversation with unusual dinner topic, funny and willing to laugh at himself, BANTER with females. Traits for a heroine would be smart, can cause mischief, wiling to laugh at herself, BANTER with males.
Just about anything really., as long as the story is attention grabbing, i am not picky. (Tina Ullrich 1:16am June 25, 2014)
Thank you for the chance - I value the most trustworthy ! (Katarzyna Keen 10:25am June 25, 2014)
I think the hero or heroine should have a great sense of humor. The hero should be strong, but know how to have a soft and tender side when it comes to a woman. They should both be smart, and be able to lean on each other when necessary. I not only loved your posting today, and am looking forward to reading your book, but loved the cover as well!! Congratulations!! (Peggy Roberson 10:39am June 25, 2014)
Waving hello! Love reading everyone's favorite qualities--thanks for sharing them. I especially value sense of humor/ability not to take oneself too seriously, and also smarts and trustworthiness. (Emily Greenwood 10:58am June 25, 2014)
I like a hero with a sense of honor. (Pam Howell 11:15am June 25, 2014)
Traits that I value are a sense of humour, honour, strong but sensitive, quick witted. (Quina B 1:04pm June 25, 2014)
Sounds like a great book. I love strong, rugged, hero types - with senses of humor. Actually, as long as the story is great, I love all types of heros and heroines. Yours sound like fun. Thanks for the chance to win. (Nancy Reynolds 1:59pm June 25, 2014)
Your book sounds amazing! I need to go read it! (Kimberly Woodall 3:38pm June 25, 2014)
I like a nice hero, not too much of a rake. I like the cover and her pink dress. I'm not so picky about heroines. (Michelle Fidler 5:03pm June 25, 2014)
I look for strength, smart, determination, and humour in a heroine. In a hero one that comes across as a rake, but is actually a sweetie. (Aimee Robison 6:29pm June 25, 2014)
Both should be honest, honorable, kind and have a sense of humor. (Janie McGaugh 8:53pm June 25, 2014)
Different personalities are fine - actually great so I've got variety in my reading. The important thing is that both hero and heroine are kind and honorable. (Glenda Martillotti 9:56pm June 25, 2014)
I sense many of us have reading taste in common :-) (Emily Greenwood 10:29pm June 25, 2014)
I think very strong, tough sense of humor and honest! Congratulations on your new book, love the cover Penney (Penney Wilfort 9:13am June 26, 2014)

Honesty, intelligence and a good sense of humor.
Is it wrong that when I saw Mooblight my first thought was Man Boobs? ;) (Sue Galuska 3:59pm June 26, 2014)
Honesty, good sense of humor, reliability, loyalty (Denise Austin 6:25pm June 26, 2014)
I love a hero with strong loyalty and a good sense of humor and I love a heroine who can stand up for herself. In a guilty way, I also love for both of them to have a healthy sense of jealousy - it just makes everything more fun. (Jamie Fortney 9:46pm June 26, 2014)
Intelligence, honesty, loyalty and a sense of humor. (Marcy Shuler 10:34pm June 26, 2014)
