I’m in the process of compiling content for the PIOUS website, which will feature details on when and where you can get your very own copy when its released. The website will also have lots of background info on the novel, book club questions, a discussion section, and a playlist. That’s right, my novel has a playlist.
When I was writing PIOUS, every chapter had a least one song to accompany the tone. Lately, the song that sort of captures the tone of the whole book has been playing in my head on repeat and I thought I would share it in advance here. It’s a moody tune by The Black Keys from their latest album, Brothers.
Take a listen.
These blood red eyes
Don’t see so good
But what’s worse is if they could
Would I change my ways?
Oh… and PIOUS, a novel by Kenn Bivins is coming soon.

Everyone needs a playlist! Mine is mostly Portishead, some Evanescence and the soundtrack from the movie “Perfume”.
I love that you love The Black Keys. They are an Ohio group,
and we Ohioans are a hardscrabble lot and their music captures
perfectly the lives of us that live “low to the ground”.
I love the music tie in with your novel…to allow music
to take the imagery and tone of the novel to another level.
Cool and Original.
You must send to me!
