Daron’s Guitar Chronicles has an entire website devoted to it exclusively at https://daron.ceciliatan.com, but here’s the basics about the series and the web serial!
The web serial ran from November 2009 through February 2020. When packaged into books, it comes to 13 volumes, which can be purchased as ebooks or paperbacks. In 2024 the book series was relaunched with new covers for volumes 1-10, and volumes 11-13 finally were put into print. (Sorry for the delays)

Bookstores
Right now the books should be available through most bookstores in the USA/Canada by special order. You should be able to walk into most stores and give the ISBN of 978-061569759-8 for Volume 1 or 978-1503096059 for Volume 2. If you do that and they say they can’t find it, please let me know!
Ordering books from me
If you want books autographed or personalized, you can order it from me directly using the shopping cart buttons below if you’re in the USA. Just be sure to email me a follow up (at ctan.writer at gmail) to make sure I got the notification and to find out when I will ship it. I don’t have a big operation here and so Createspace is faster and more reliable than I am. But if you want a gift personalized, etc. just please do follow up with me and give me at least two weeks to get it into the mail. (I’m often on the road.)
If you’re not in the USA, you’ll also need to email me to get a shipping quote on what it will cost to get these big books over to you. They each weigh over two pounds, which is a significant cost to ship from the USA to most other places.
Audiobooks!
Three audiobooks which correspond to the first three ebook volumes are now available for sale from Audible.com! Download them in your favorite audio format. Narrated by actor Teddy Hamilton. To download, visit the DGC Audible page.
I can’t sell the audiobook downloads directly, so you have to get them from Audible.com. Audible, like Amazon, takes customer reviews, so if you enjoyed them, please let people know!
