What an incredible week it’s been! When we launched our Lady Lavender Kickstarter last week, we didn’t expect to reach our AU$2,000 goal in 13 hours! In the first week of our campaign, we have received AU$3,893 in pledges from 89 backers – we are so grateful for the support from Regency Lovers! <3
As such, we are pleased to announce we have reached our first two stretch goals:
- $2,500: Early release of Lady Lavender‘s first three chapters
- $3,000: Floor plan and family tree in physical book copy
We will email our Kickstarter backers with the novel’s first three chapters on Sunday 3 November – over a month before the novel’s release date!
It would be incredible if we could reach our next three stretch goals:
- $4,000: Phone wallpapers
- $5,000: Early-bird discount on the physical book from Amazon (until the end of December, 2019)
- $6,000: Christmas short story for Regency Love
We have 51 days left on our campaign, which means there’s plenty of time to spread the word about Regency Love and Lady Lavender. Please contact us if you know anyone who might like to feature either our game or spin-off novel – we are a tiny group with a tinier marketing person, and we would love your help in sharing the news about our projects!
Now for our next series of planned blog posts: mini profiles of Lady Lavender‘s characters! We’ll be posting these weekly on Sundays (along with any Kickstarter updates) – we hope you’ll enjoy them!
Full name (and title): Aubrey Charles Beaumont, 7th Viscount Sutton, 11th Baron Beaumont
What makes them happy:
- Sitting in front of the fire in the fine company of James Graham
- The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel
- Acknowledgement and praise!
Virtues: Loyalty, passion, acuity
Vices: Pride, irritability, spontaneity, impatience
Quote from Lady Lavender: ‘I don’t know how you manage to complete even a quarter of your exercises under such conditions – I hereby opine that one should only be required to dirty one’s hands when the climes have struck the perfect balance between rotten and radiant.’
omg, 3 November – that’s not so long! I’m so excited and looking forward to Lady Lavender, I’m sure it will be great…
Since I don’t have a twitter account, I’ll post my guesses for a secondary romance here: I would love to see Mary fall in love, and also of course I hope Kitty’s and Marcus’ marriage is a happy one.
As you mentioned a family tree, I wondered how old Ella is in Lady Lavender?
Sorry for the double post, but I just read Samantha’s tweets about the heteronormative responses to her inquiries of the secondary romance. I would love to see a non-hetero relationship in Lady Lavender! In fact I briefly wondered while playing the game if Lord Sutton was in love with Mr Graham to be honest.
Thanks for your comment, Taree! Ellie is 16 in Lady Lavender – the events take place about nine months after her debutante ball in Regency Love. 🙂
Was Lord Sutton in love with Mr Graham? I’m sure that’s a question on many people’s minds – and one that’ll be answered in Lady Lavender! 😀
