Dear Regency Lovers:
We hope this letter finds you well. It has been over a year since we last wrote, promising to update you with any news about the Sutton spin-off novel. It is now with great pleasure and excitement that we wish to inform you of our progress: we have just completed the most recent draft of the manuscript!
We also have a title for the novel: Lady Lavender. The current version consists of three volumes (anything else would be scandalous!), forty-three chapters, and a little over 100,000 words.
Now that we have a decent draft (the earlier ones were rather shocking), we will proceed with the following steps:
- Create artwork and supplementary/digital content
- Receive feedback from beta-readers and editors
- Make final revisions based on said feedback (we are aiming for late 2019)
- Launch a crowd-funding campaign (late 2019)
We are still tossing around ideas about ‘digitalising’ the novel and including some extra content. Some of these include:
- Illustrated scenes and related artwork
- Maps and floor plans
- Soundtracks
- A mini glossary for all the references and allusions
Thank you for all your patience and support over the years. We are (super uber duper) excited about Lady Lavender, and we look forward to sharing the novel with you! Until then, we wish you health and happiness, and remain yours, &c &c,
Jenny, Melody, and Samantha
I am beyond excited! I am so pleased and relieved that this is happening, and I cannot wait to romance Lord Sutton along with the other eligible bachelors in your wonderful game!
Fond Regards

YES. YES. YES. YOU LADIES ARE A TRIUMPH.
This is great! I love Tea for Three! Lord Sutton is cool. Best of the options. I’d still like to explore other (different gender?) options too but am not holding my breath. Very limited, if any, LGBT regency books out there with the quality that you provide! If you’re ever interested, let me know 🙂 I’m also happy to beta the book and give feedback!
I’m so excited! Finally, Finally! Thank you ladies for your steadfast commitment & perseverance. I can’t wait to for Lord Sutton’s route. I love the artwork that went into the other male leads. I would love to be your beta tester. Please contact me! 🙂
Sincerely,
Maria
I promise to buy this! I loved the game so much. It has such a heartfelt, endearing charm to it that feels like “Ghibli does Austen”. I love the mood of Regency Love. Playing it made me feel so content, and I cannot wait to read the book! Congratulations to the team, and yay for our lovely community 🙂
Super excited! I went to my game and supported Darlington by purchasing all of the gifts. I hope other players support the completion of the this new novel by purchasing the in-game items if they are able. Thank you so much for making Regency Love! I’m super excited to read/play Lady Lavender!
I just bought Regency Love not two days ago and finished all the paths I could! I cherished each moment with every character and can’t wait to get my hands on more! Thank you for your hard work and dedication to this project and I hope all goes well!
Wow! What an exciting news! I will definitely buy this novel. Hope you will release it on Kindle, so I can buy it overseas. 🙂
As someone who has been following the game and this particular novel for many years it’s so wonderful to see you all continue with this (incredible) project. I look forward to any updates! Thanks for all your hard work over the years!!
I’m beyond excited for this and I can’t wait to play it, to be honest at some point due to the lack of updates I was afraid that this game was on hold or even abandoned and so you can see how this wonderful news makes me super happy!!!
JUST TAKE MY MONEY NOW
So excited!!! Can’t wait to get to know Lord Sutton more.
So happy to hear the fantastic news about Lord Sutton. Just one question: as I’ve understood it, this will only be coming out as a novel, right? Or will we also get a Sutton route in Regency Love or a game centered around him? I don’t mean to put any pressure on you, I’m genuinely curious because of some of the comments before mine. Obviously I’m one of the nuts still hanging out for more routes in Regency Love, but anything Lord Sutton is appreciated. Oh, and one other question – is the lady protagonist of the book the same as in Regency Love? Thanks! All the best with finishing up this latest project – I’m ready to give all my moneys in that Kickstarter! Lol
I can’t wait! You three have so much talent, and I’m really looking forward to anything you decide to do with this project. Every once in a while my eye snags on the Regency Love app icon on my iPad and I check the blog to see if there are any announcements – it was exciting to see this one. I will definitely support the Kickstarter!
So excited! This is such a beautiful story and I can’t wait to see everything you create!!!
