Bigger than the Beatles, more talented than Radiohead, Blue Bliss Diagonal came, sang and conquered. Four highly talented musicians who wrote lyrics of an originality and relevance to today’s high-speed culture, sung in a voice described as that of a ‘sultry angel’. Songs with a conscience, sung with honesty and passion which not only equalled but surpassed the Blues, held heartstrings tighter than grass roots Folk music and shivered the spines of everyone who heard them.
Then overnight – 21st July 2010 - they stopped: disbanded, went their separate ways without publicity or announcement. And left behind a bereft and heartbroken fan-base.
In the past twelve months one of their greatest fans has undertaken hours of assiduous research and carried out dozens of hours of interviews in an attempt to answer some of their fans’ desperate questions – not all but most of the answers can be found HERE. [148 words]

Week #22’s response to Lisa Ricard Claro’s Book Blurb Friday challenge and Christine Claro’s challenging photograph, Each week Lisa posts a photograph which represents a book cover. Participants are challenged to “Write a book jacket blurb (150 words or less) so enticing that potential readers would feel compelled to buy the book”
Both your blurb and your cover are first-rate. One is emotionally gripping and the other, visually gripping.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tammy - I find that as I play around with the cover, the story tends to take shape too.
ReplyDeleteGeeze, Sandra, do you have a copy of their CD or a link to their music videos? I'm feeling sad that I have never got to see them or hear their music! This is a fantastic and very believable blurb. I'd buy your book for sure.
ReplyDeleteYou rock!

Cool use of the diagonal in your cover and title. A very creative approach to the story. I'd read it for sure.
ReplyDeleteMy Blurb: Alienation
Oh, if your blurb were real, I'd be one of those fans, bereft after the breakup, lost without new music. I'd buy this book.

Exceptionally creative, as always; you've really employed the photo well. This sounds compelling, and I find myself sorry it isn't real. This is one of those books that I'd read, and then hunt down YouTube videos. Nicely done.
