Kenn Bivins Gloria, thank you for adding me to your awesome set of Goodreads friends. I hope that you have the opportunity to read my novel, PIOUS, a page-turner of a tale about an esteemed man who is confronted with all that he has tried to hide of his past when an ex-wife tries to extort money from him and a registered sex-offender moves into his neighborhood.
