An engaging tale of misguided, free-spirited, underachieving musicians.
 
DURHAM, N.C. - Oct. 2, 2013 - PRLog -- Debut author Bill Stephens is proud to announce the official publication of Vámonos!, an engaging tale of the misguided efforts of two underachieving, free-spirited musicians.

About The Book

Two offbeat, underachieving C&W musicians flee Austin, Texas, on their Harley-Davidson motorcycles after becoming homeless, one kicked out by Gena, an irate girlfriend, and the other for hot rent checks. They ride into the Mexican desert, hoping for a life-changing, pivotal spiritual journey of redemption.

Instead, a humorous and perilous romp follows from the Mexican border to the small town of Tolencita, where the despot Federale El Jefe jails them and plans their death. Gena rushes to save their lives, but all she has for help is a bunch of mariachi musicians and Josefina, the Mexican burro.

Praise for Vámonos!:

“Bill Stephens’ Vámonos! takes a wry and realistic look at human nature, and the result is fun, lively, innovative, and highly entertaining. Though the protagonists get themselves into heaps of trouble, the general tone is upbeat throughout, often left me laughing out loud. I recommend ¡Vámonos! in the highest terms.” Florence Weinberg, Ph.d author of The Storks of Caridad and Unrest in Eden

“From a literary standpoint, Vámonos! is a book about good, evil, redemption, and the human condition, and it handles those elements with grace, intelligence, and wit. It also accurately captures the zeitgeist of today’s Mexico, delivering the kind of edge-of-the-seat entertainment usually found only in plot driven thrillers, and there is enough humor to keep you smiling through even the most suspenseful scenes. The ending is especially satisfying: not only do the main characters achieve redemption but so do readers, most of whom will not be able to finish the book without a surge of optimism and a renewed enthusiasm for their own slog through this veil of tears.” Jim Peyton, author of The Vampires of Bustamonte
