Daron's Guitar Chronicles: Volume 6 — Cecilia Tan

Winner of the Rose & Bay Award for Crowdfunded FictionAfter the tumultuous events at the end of the tour in 1989 leave Daron and the band reeling, it's time to get off the road for a while. When an opportunity to stay in Los Angeles comes up, Daron takes it. There's session work and music industry schmoozing galore to be done in LA, but Daron's true reason for wanting to be on the West Coast temporarily is simple: Ziggy is in isolation drug rehab in California. Daron wants to be nearby, even if Ziggy isn't allowed to communicate with the outside world. Is Daron prepared to deal with Digger, record company politics, and creative challenges, all while feeling the pain of being apart? The ebook edition includes the bonus features: Ziggy's DiaryJonathan's StoryReaders speak! This is not your run-of-the-mill 'Rock And Roll' gay romance. It's about the times, the world we live in, and the creative people who drive the culture. Warning: Daron's Guitar Chronicles is addictive. Once you start, you'll find it near impossible to walk away from Daron's world, aching to know what's coming next The first person narrative has rarely been used to greater effect than in Cecilia Tan's online serial Daron's Guitar Chronicles. The relationship between Daron and the reader is something I've never experienced before, and I don't believe could have been achieved in the third person, limited or omniscient, as brilliantly as it's been done here. Daron's narrative is intimate, personal, and it's, of all the oddest things, interactive. Or maybe it's reactive. Whatever one wishes to call it, there are times during the reading of this, and the previous books, that I wanted to hug him, shake him by the shoulders, give him an earful, and then go right back to hugging him through his pain and torment. Sometimes it's hard to remember Daron's a fictional character.
