Daron's Guitar Chronicles: Volume Five

Winner of the Rose & Bay Award
 

A slow burn gay romance set in the 1980s. 

Book five of Daron's Guitar Chronicles finds the band still on the road for their coast-to-coast tour. The pressure cooker that is the tour bus has been affecting everyone, but will it ultimately fuse the band together or crack them apart? 

The final leg of the Moondog Three "1989" album tour approaches, with Toronto, the midwest, and New York City still to come. Daron and Ziggy have learned a lot about each other, and about what it takes to stay sane on the road... but have the lessons come too late?

Daron thinks maybe he finally knows what love is. At least, some feeling is making his heart sing. 

But is Ziggy too far gone to hear it? 

Readers speak! 

"This volume is beautiful and sweet and touching and so, so heartbreaking." 

"This series is an emotional roller coaster ride, as told in the first person by Daron, a guitar prodigy and founder of the fictional band Moondog 3. (Don't tell Daron it's fictional!) This series set in the mid-80's and continuing through the early 90's (and still going) is a peek into the music scene as Hair Bands transitioned into Grunge. Rock n Roll was almost as confused as Daron is about his feeling for his lead singer, Ziggy. I loved every page of it!" 

"Having read and enjoyed the first four volumes, I was more than ready to be a fly on the wall for the next part of Daron, Ziggy, Jonathan, Carynne, et al's, road trip. There is something very compelling about the way these books are written. Perhaps because they were written during the time period that they represent rather than as a retro attempt at capturing their era. The author has a way of making you feel that you are in the room, or perhaps, playing the guitar on stage yourself, that I have not experienced reading any other similar book. I can feel Ziggy applying my eyeliner as I experience Daron's prepping for a concert."
