About Ariel's Island
Ariel's Island targets a legal and technology thriller audience and explores one of the most significant issues facing mankind today: the promise and challenge of artificial intelligence. Pat McKee's novel is intended to move readers from sympathy and curiosity, to anxiety and horror, and ultimately to understanding and satisfaction.

Sunflower Dog: Dancing the Flathead Shuffle
by Kevin Winchester
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?

Goodreads Review from Reviewer Bob Doak:
"Each page is an unflagging mixture of wit an hilarity. The characters include a incongruous mixture of a Southern redneck, a tenure seeking biologist, a foul mouthed octogenarian, and a fired condom salesman who hears celebrity voices. Bicycle Bob and a university department head whose eyes blink off kilter add spice to the mixture, as do a Survivor aspirant and Gajendranath, a flophouse owner. The strangeness of these wierdos is underscored by occasional comments from the characters about one another: Ethel, the 83-year old pistol packing neighbor to the vacant land, refers to Livingston Carr, the owner and timid condom salesman, as being "wrapped tighter than Dick's hatband"; and Sally sees the redneck riding a bike with antlers and notes that it must be a "full moon . . . they're everywhere.""
