Read More...One of the most talked about B-stories in PIOUS was the relationship between Drew and Lela and how it seemed unresolved in the end.

It’s interesting to see this collection of links more than a year later. I can’t help but wonder what the casual observer might think to see these, so here they are. If this doesn’t tempt you to read to PIOUS, I’m not sure what will.

If you missed the Conversations Live interview with Kenn Bivins where host, Cyrus Webb, asked him about what led him to write PIOUS, listen to an archive of the complete show here. Enjoy!
