"...a dizzying adventure. One that deals with life, death, humor, loss, prejudice, love, and of course, music. I very simply loved it." - Eric Church, country music superstar
Two brothers are torn between fulfilling a blood oath to avenge mass murder, and living their wildest dreams as the most famous musicians the West has ever known.
When eleven-year-old Audie and nine-year-old Shane DeVine set out to visit the Apache camp with their missionary father, they have no idea they'll never see Missouri again with innocent eyes. After the boys barely escape a brutal massacre by the US army, they swear vengeance on those who brought about the devastation. The next decade of life hones their skills as much in music as in fighting with deadly accuracy.
In the time when the Wild West earned its name, the DeVine DeVils thunder out a rhythm on their guitar and drums that brings them fame, endless whiskey, women, and trouble. Will Audie and Shane abandon their promise for a life of decadence? Or will they use their talents to plan the most savage revenge?
If you're a fan of Larry McMurtry, Deadwood, Young Guns, Tombstone, or westerns in general, you won't want to miss this epic novel from award-winning songwriter, Jeremy Spillman. Buy it today!
"The DeVine Devils is an exceptionally well-written and fantastically entertaining novel. Jeremy Spillman shines as an author with this release, pushing forward a fast-moving and wholly engrossing narrative, particularly in the dialogue of his characters. The plot is original, something that's not easy to find when talking about Western literature. "—���������� Readers' Favorite
"Prolific country songwriter Spillman moves into narrative fiction with a unique spin on the Wild West genre, combining outlaw violence with rock-star fame. . . Nonstop action, with two murderous heroes that Western fans will love."—Kirkus Reviews
"I grew up in Arizona and I devoured every Zane Grey and Louis L'Amour book ever written. Jeremy has taken that genre which I loved so much and added a new exciting energy! The characters were so dangerous and likable all at the same time. I never quite knew where it was going, which was so appealing to me as a reader. I was blown away. I seriously loved it."— Ted Danson, Emmy Award Winner Actor
"I read Jeremy Spillman's book because I know him and am a fan of his as a songwriter and as a man. I also love westerns although they usually disappoint me as they are often formulaic and have no interesting female characters. I may have opened Jeremy's book with a sigh of trepidation, but I closed it with a sigh of true disappointment that it was over. It is funny, unpredictable, musical, mysterious and yes! there are strong female characters! Badass even! You will not have read another Western like it! Enjoy!" — Mary Steenburgen, Academy Award Winning Actress and Film Producer
"I've been a fan of Jeremy Spillman as a songwriter for as long as I can remember. Like his songs, his debut book illustrates the perfect landscape across the imagination. You can almost feel the midwestern heat on your skin. The DeVine DeVils is a fresh new story, yet reads like an American classic we've all grown up with." — John Osborne, country music band Brothers Osborne
"Spillman has managed to take the classic Wild West genre and deliver an absolute page turner with a brand new spin. An intoxicating journey with two brothers who must learn to navigate love, lust, vengeance, violence, and even religion all with the only companion they know to trust. . . music." — Brandon Lancaster, country rock band LANCO
"The DeVine Devils is a true work of art—a memorable period piece born in the heart of a true poet. With riveting images and character development that really pull you in, Spillman weaves a seamless journey front to back. Dramatic, heartbreaking and redemptive. The intertwining of music gives heart to this desperate outlaw story, making cold blooded murderers almost love-able. It could only be done this well by a world class veteran songwriter. — David Lee, Country Music Songwriter and Artist
Available where music is streamed and sold, the Devine Devils EP features songs written and produced by author and award-winning songwriter Jeremy Spillman and performed by the DeVine Devils. Also soon to be available is the full cast audiobook as narrated by Hall of Fame songwriter Dean Dillon.
