A special day in the lives of [intlink id=”987″ type=”page”]MDPWebbers[/intlink] and Yunyu. Today, Yunyu and my music/book collaboration is realised with the release of the song on Itunes and Bandcamp. The reviews are already starting to come in and they are just what I expected for Yunyu’s amazing song:

“This is a great idea, releasing a song to match a novel — I already love the book and am so impressed with how the single captures the weird, gothy vibe of Burn Bright by Marianne de Pierres. This is my first Yunyu song! I like her sound very much. More please.” Tansy Rayner Roberts on iTunes 5/5

“A haunting, multi-layered work of genius.” Belinda’s Baubles.

Yunyu and I particularly want to thank, Elmac Creative, Curtis Brown Australia and Random House Australia for their patience and enthusiasm for the project. Also thanks to Evolutionary Theory for the remix on the book trailer.

On the same day, the cover of the second book got loose on the webs and so I guess it’s time to ‘fess up and post it here too.

Jaroslaw Kubicki’s artwork is astonishing and I’m assuming Astred Hicks and Design Cherry is the legend behind the design.

We have *signed* copies of Burn Bright and Yunyu’s amazing Angel Arias CD to give away to 3 lucky bloggers.
