Will the consequences of new sins expose the old ones?

About the Author
Kenn Bivins is an art director at the advertising agency JWT in Atlanta. He has worked as an illustrator and designer in many mediums that include comics, magazines, animation, and interactive media. Even though his background is layered in the arts, Kenn has always been a writer.He states, “Even if I’m simply illustrating a cat, there is a story in my head about that cat — how he moves, why his tail is so bushy, whether he sleeps on a windowsill or under a bed, and so on. Words aren’t the only means to tell a story.” PIOUS is his first novel.
