Daron's Guitar Chronicles, Volume Eight — Cecilia Tan

The latest volume in the award-winning web serial about coming out and coming of age in the music business of the 1980s and 1990s. As the calendar moves from 1990 to 1991, Daron Marks is trying to stay true to his heart. But life is tough when you're a talented musician whose life is controlled by gigantic mega-corporations. Daron is trying hard not to think about that, though, when he invites Ziggy to spend Christmas with Daron's chosen family: his mentor Remo and the guys from the band Nomad. Ziggy's career is taking off at rocket speed; meanwhile Daron spends a few months living in New York City working with one of the music industry's hottest producers and then takes a gig to hit the road with Nomad. Even with the industry pulling them in different directions, Daron and Ziggy's paths keep crossing. Can they rebuild a relationship without music tying them together? And what is that mysterious song Daron keeps hearing on the radio?
