Follow Moondog Three as they hit the road and tour the United States. Daron learns there's more to holding a band together than good music. What's a young, gay guitarist to do when his father's a homophobic jerk who might be embezzling from the band and his lead singer can't decide which he wants more, control of the band or love? Sex, drugs, and rock and roll... if only it were that simple.

Smashwords book reviews by Cecilia Tan
- Spots the Space Marine: Defense of the Fiddler
on Oct. 27, 2010
'm completely sucked in by Spots the Space Marine. What the author has done is present this almost like a screenplay, so that instead of a traditional prose narrative, the reader gets a steady stream of sensory impressions, dialogue, sound, visuals. It's the writing equivalent of a Chinese brush painting, where everything is powerfully conveyed in the minimal strokes. As such, it moves fast and the characters come across very vividly. A definite thumbs up for anyone who likes space opera and/or complex female characters.
