Produktbeschreibung
A slow burn gay romance exploring coming out and coming of age in the decadent world of 1980s pop culture. DARON is a young guitar player with a dream: to make it big like the guys he grew up idolizing-or at least to escape his homophobic family in new Jersey. He makes it to music school in Rhode Island, and the rock clubs of Boston beckon. But in 1986, in the era of AIDS, MTV, and "Just Say No" it's hard to succeed from the closet., especially when your lead singer is hell-bent on being outrageous. ZIGGY is an art-school dropout who knows he's destined for something bigger and better in life. He craves the spotlight, and he doesn't care how many hearts he has to break to get to the top. When he sees Daron playing guitar one day, he thinks he's found his ticket to stardom. He's right. Winner of the Rose and Bay Award for Crowdfunded Fiction! "As addictive as any books I've ever read, as heart-rending as any series I've ever loved, Daron's Guitar Chronicles is, if not perfect, the quintessential compilation of music, drugs, sex, love, lust, and pain. Daron's Guitar Chronicles is a brilliant feat in fiction, far too luminous for this simple 5 star rating." -The Novel Approach "For me, Daron is one of those rare fictional characters that I have a hard time believing does not actually exist on the physical plane. He is just too real. [And] the writing just gets better and better. Some chapters are moving the story along slowly, some are eye opening, and then some chapters have paragraphs or sentences that just hit you over the head with a mallet of sheer awesome." -Gay Book Reviews
