“With its cast of misfits, Sunflower Dog brings to mind John Kennedy Toole's masterpiece, A Confederacy of Dunces. I find a similar comic insight into human foibles in this novel, but Kevin Winchester has his own voice, and as his characters move deeper into their ultimately converging quests, Sunflower Dog achieves an unexpected poignancy. A delightful novel by one of North Carolina's best writers.”

~ Ron Rash, NY Times Best Selling Author of Serena

“…a rare delight - a rollicking dark comedy with a heart of pure gold.”

~ Jessica Handler, Author of the Southern Book Prize Winning The Magnetic Girl

“This is truly where art meets craft. Kevin Winchester has artfully brought to life one of the most intriguing and quirky ensemble of characters you'll ever meet and crafted a compelling, don't-put-it-down story. For a first novel, it's stunningly good,.  For a tenth novel it would be stunningly good.”

~ Robert Inman, Novelist & Screenwriter

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?

It’s a love story, when you get right down to it. Sure, there’s voodoo, shady real estate deals, bumbling weed growers, a recently unemployed and increasingly neurotic expectant father and his “little” wife, a budding reality TV star, her crusty grandmother, a struggling college professor… and the dog, but it’s still a love story.

Sunflower Dog explores the many layers of life in a small, North Carolina town as its residents try to find their place in the neo-gothic South. If you’re a fan of Clyde Edgerton, Carl Hiassen, Celia Rivenbank, Tim Dorsey, or any of the many other southern humor writers, you’ll enjoy this book.
