CeeCee: Can you tell readers what you are working on next?

Ray B: Gladly. I'm finishing a novel that I've titled Last Mango in Texas. It centers on the life of young Kyle Mango, a Texas Tech student who, in his senior year, discovers that he has been left some productive oil wells. Problem is, the girl he is after has just gone to Alaska to clean off oil birds after an oil spill. She hates the stuff! So, it's a romantic comedy with a "green earth" backdrop, and plenty of international travel. And, I must admit, it's a lot of fun. Last Mango in Texas will release in Feb. '09.

CeeCee: Any final words?

Ray B: Sure. People tend to think that after an author pens several novels, the writing of the next one gets easier. Well, I can tell you this: the fact that you have completed prior novels does not impress your laptop!

CeeCee: Thank you again for taking the time for this interview. I look forward to reading the Last Mango in Texas next year.
