Whether you’re in a book club or not, you’ll want to see these discussion questions after you’ve read PIOUS. They add a dimension and realm of thought that you may not have considered before.

Drew and Lela

kenn bivins — Sat, 19 Feb 2011 16:16:37 +0000

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. This was intentional as all conflicts aren’t resolved so easily in real life. Do you think Lela will ever come to terms with Drew’s sexual affiliation? Do you think Drew will ever admit to the world and his family who he really is?

research during PIOUS : a retrospect

kenn bivins — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 16:06:43 +0000

The following image is a screen capture of the bookmarks that I accumulated during research to accurately depict the story I wanted to tell with PIOUS. 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.
