Those very clever foxes over on the Vulpes Libris blog have an interview with Keith Gray. A sneak peak at what Keith is planning next:

So… what’s next for you?  Another book?  More virtual projects?  Holiday in the Bahamas?

What’s next for me is another book.  It’s a job, I’m afraid.  If I don’t write the books, I don’t get paid.  My deadline is the end of this July with a pencilled publication date of next July.  It’s another book aimed at teenagers and so far it’s called ‘Hoodlum’ but that may change.  None of my books have ever kept the same title throughout the whole of the writing/editing process.  Ostrich Boys was originally called Painted Black, then it became ‘Ash’, and was even ‘Still Death’ for a short while.  My publishers loved ‘Ash’  – but I fought for my own way.  I’m very happy with Ostrich Boys.

The interview covers a lot of what Keith discussed with Kate Thompson in Dublin last month (a month already? Time flies) Age Branding and suicide and being the writer-in-residence for the Scottish Book Trust… Go on, have a read.
