New York Times bestselling author Ron Rash compared Sunflower Dog, the 2020 IPPY Awards Silver Medalist for Southern Fiction, to the classic, Confederacy of Dunces. Celia Rivenbark, another New Your Times bestseller, wrote, “this cast of characters [is] destined to do for metro Charlotte what Carl Hiassen did for the state of Florida. Robert Inman, author of Home Fires Burning, claimed that, “For a first novel, it's stunningly good... For a tenth novel it would be stunningly good." Jessica Handler, winner of the 2020 Southern Book Prize, calls Sunflower Dog, “a rare delight - a rollicking dark comedy with a heart of pure gold.” Amazon 5-star customer reviews call the book “laugh-out-loud brilliance,” “the most fun I’ve had reading a novel in a long time,” and “funny but deep.” Find out for yourself—order those personalized copies today!

Sally Hinson could have guessed that his business partner would leave him a heap of trouble along with their real-estate holdings, but not that his partner’s last shady deal would see him competing with a growing group of oddballs, and their unusual dog, for a once-useless piece of land that now holds the key to each of their unique “American Dreams.” Determined scientist, Kat; anxious and unemployed expectant-father, Livingston; a pair of young weed dealers; and aspiring reality-television star Brittany and her doting but far from docile grandmother, all stand between Sally and the deal of a lifetime, but is it the deal of his dreams?

Kevin Winchester's writing reflects a strong knowledge of all the great Southern writers and storytellers who have come before him and the tradition they've established, but his voice is all his own. "Everybody's Gotta Eat" is unique, funny, heartfelt, an honest depiction of the world, his Southern world, as he sees it. His voice is one to join that long tradition of Southern writers, and rightly so.
~ Ron Rash, author of the Pulitzer nominated novel One Foot in Eden and Serena.
