Deb,
Funny you should ask -- Paul was just in Cedar Rapids and presented
at our annual book conference. The book's title is actually "Old Dry
Frye." He shared this book with the group. It was great -- he has
many other great books too. You might want to check out his website
at http://www.paulbrettjohnson.com
Here's the information on this book from his webpage at:

Old Dry Frye
Scholastic
Price: $5.99
ISBN:0-439-16392-7
"An Appalachian folktale is the basis of Johnson's story of a
fried-chicken-loving preacher whose untimely demise sets into motion
a tumultuous chain of events....Told in the melodious twang of
mountain vernacular, Johnson's story rumbles along to its own beat,
an outrageously ghoulish tale to make story-hour listeners shiver."
Kirkus Reviews.
