Carrella who was just getting ready to publish his book "The Serpent Box". I was one of the lucky first few outside of family and publishers who got to read his book, it is an excellent read  if your interested in Appalachian style folk stories, mountain faith or the holiness religion. Anywho, he commissioned a serpent box that is featured in his book teaser promo (I am credited at the end) and a small bit of my art is featured on the books website. Check the site out, pick up the book, let him know what you think.  On Sep-26-06 at 07:33:58 PDT, seller added the following information:   Place a Bid!
