Introducing Lavender Letters
from Author Elizabeth Bourgeret
|
Welcome to my new series of "memoir fiction", that follows the lives of brave women who became part of the more than 400,000 people to venture West during the "Great Migration". Lavender Letters offers you a whole new experience in reading... keep reading for all the details!
I don't need to read a thing! I'm Ready! |
How long does it take to read a book?
One day? Three? Maybe a few months if your schedule is cramped?
And how long before the storyline and the characters are tossed to side to make way for another book?
And how long after that does the memory of that first story begin to fade away. Even if you tell yourself, it was SO GOOD and such GREAT characters that you promise to read it again... even though, we know... in the back of our minds there are so many NEW books that we want to read that it's unlikely we'd be able to pick up one of our favorites to read again. But we love it and so it sits patiently on our shelves hoping to get noticed again.
We have been trained to become a BINGE culture! Read fast, set it aside, grab the next one.
What would it look like to check OUT of the binge-culture, rat-race? Even if only for a few moments every month.

What if... there was a way to prolong the story experience?
What if... there was a way to get even deeper inside the story. Know the characters in a deeply intimate way? What if... you could be privy to their own thoughts.
What if... a story unfolded before your very eyes...

I believe I've found a new way to enjoy the stories you love. The characters you can't wait to know and those you'd love to hate...
What if... your story was delivered to you in the form of letters, from the actual characters every other week.
No, not a book full of letters... but ACTUAL letters delivered to your mailbox!

I look forward to the letters and I check my mailbox for that purple envelope! I am enjoying Rosie's adventure! Keep her coming! |
"I anxiously await each letter! I look for that lavender |
Your story would pieced together while you give yourself time to immerse yourself in the experience every time a new beautiful purple envelope arrives in your mailbox revealing another chapter.
Oh... and so much more than words on a page.
These words are from the character's own thoughts giving you secret access to their journals and letters as they move about within the story. See how they face their trials and triumphs, be the first to know when they feel the flutterings of the heart, or the fear deep in their gut.

Allow yourself to unplug from the glaring screens of today and immerse yourself in a bygone era where people communicated through letter writing. These days we spend so much time in front of our computer screens and phones, it's become foreign for our hands to use a pen or tap into our own imaginations. Everything, images and all, is spoon-fed to us through the screen.
Maybe you didn't recognize what that longing was that you knew you were missing, but just couldn't put your finger on it. A craving for creativity. For tangible and tactile interaction. Being a part of the Lavender Letters Series can be one of the best ways to reboot and ignite your imagination. |
The letters themselves are beautiful. They are colorful and yet encourage you to sit back and relax as you immerse yourself in the experience. Feel the pages in your hands as the story literally unfolds. Get a glimpse of what was happening during the time frame of the story. See maps and documents that bring you in as if you were looking over someone's shoulder.
What if... you could relax with a cup of tea, or coffee or hot chocolate and take time out of your busy life and turn back time, just for a little while... to read, the latest letter from our first series: Rosie's Story; found in the Lavender Letters.

What are Lavender Letters?
|
Lavender Letters is a historical fiction story, broken down into letters mailed to your personal mailbox every other week for thirteen months. Within that time, each set of letters draws you into the story with interactive and intimate details of the letter's author in the form of correspondence or diary entries.
Two envelopes per month mailed out on the second and fourth weeks. Each purple envelope will contain the next chapter of the story (in letter or journal form) but may also contain a few extras to help enhance your experience. Sometimes telegrams, secret notes, recipes, newspaper clipping and maps may sneak into the envelope as well. |
|
Each series is centered around a specific character and the journey they find themself on either on purpose, or by elements outside their control.
A beautifully immersive story, told in a perfectly "new" old way. One letter at a time.

Our First Story:
Meet Rosie-
She is the very first heroine in our Westward Bound series.
You'll fall in love with this spunky young girl that decides to take her life's choices into her own hands rather than what her father has chosen for her.
Everyone is talking about heading West, maybe that's the direction she should be looking to escape the future that awaits her in her small rural town.
Soon she realizes, she doesn't have a moment to lose... it's now or never... she confides in her brother through letters of her plans... knowing full well that he won't be able to respond in time to tell her it's a fool-hardy idea.

The Westward Bound Series will all be based around the middle 1840s- 1870s when westward migration was at its peak! Each story, one new story per year, focuses on a new heroine and her adventures of this exciting, history-making era!
All subscriptions begin with Rosie's Story - but fear not, Addison's Story comes right behind hers!

So much more than a book...
In addition to the correspondence of the characters, you will also receive notes from me, hand written with a personal message.
The Lavender Letters is something to look forward to amidst the plain white envelopes filled with requests for money owed. Soon you'll be anxiously awaiting your purple envelopes to break the monotony and signal that it's time for a break. Time to close the door, silence you phone, let your computer sleep and curl up with the next chapter of the story. You'll be missing your penpals in-between letters, I promise.
So much thought and care was put into creating this series, (much more than writing a book, I can promise you that!) It is so engaging that you'll recognize whose personality you're reading by the color of the page and even their writing, which is different for each person.
You will think you've stumbled across a long lost relatives hidden papers.

But, since so many of you have said you think you'd miss having the actual book, you'll receive that too... at the end. The book will be the same story but in a different perspective. Where the letters are from the viewpoint of the character, the book tells you the overview of the entire story.
Lavender Letters is all about the experience. I believe SO much that you'll love the slowed down and drawn out book-reading experience, I'm not even going to allow the books on the market to the public for at least five years. There are hundreds of thousands of wonderful books out there for you to read... there is only one Lavender Letters. And only one story per year. |

There will be no bingeing!
The Netflix mindset does not belong here! Unplug... take your time... enjoy the letters.
And so to complete your journey, when the story comes to a close, a completed book from an "overview" perspective will be delivered to you to put on your shelf, or read again... (as fast or as slow as you like!)

What is included?
When you sign up to Lavender Letters it is a one year subscription to the most unique book reading adventure you've ever experienced. Each story series is broken down into 24 beautifully crafted letters that are essentially the correspondence and journal entries of our characters in the story. When read in order, they create an intricate plot line that you will treasure.
And as I have mentioned, there will also be a bonus of a few personal extras from me. If you've ever been a part of anything I've created, you know that I adore to spoil you with surprises. Know that, included in the FULL EXPERIENCE subscription are three additional gifts spread out throughout your thirteen months.
Most importantly, Lavender Letters is an experience. Not only will you receive a thrilling, riveting story from historical eras that you love filled with adventure, the unknown, and perhaps a bit of romance, but also extra items to make it more historically accurate, such as newspaper clippings, recipes, telegrams, maps and more.
And don't forget an actual paperback copy of the story from a different perspective! (All the secrets will be revealed!). This will be mailed out after your final letter is sent.

Who would love Lavender Letters?
This mailable book series would make a wonderfully, unique gift for that someone in your life that enjoys historical fiction. These books are set back in an era when the west was just opening up for expansion and the thrill of adventure or a new life was waiting on the other side of a "small" sacrifice.
For those who love character-driven works of fiction. You become very intimate with the characters of these stories as they reveal their inner-most longings, fears and desires. Things they might not share with the rest of the world, or even the people sharing the same house. You'll read about the consequences of the choices they've made and the person they've grown into because of them.

Allow yourself, or your favorite historical-fiction fan to be transported to another place in another time where the world was so vast and the adventures were new. Where regular people had the opportunity to be brave for no one but themselves. In a time where time moved more slowly, unless winter was coming. Where dangers were very real and life was not taken for granted.
The Lavender Letters would make a wonderful gift and we are happy to accommodate!
