(Reuters) - Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro, who has been out of the public eye for more than two months, is working on a book with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and is not at death's door, a pro-government blogger said on Wednesday.

Yohandry Fontana, who often is first to report official information and viewpoints, attacked a Barcelona-based blog and other social media for spreading the idea that Castro, who turned 86 on August 13, is seriously ill, and said there was "bad news" for them and "the creative boys of the CIA."

"Fidel Castro works together with Hugo Chavez on a book that will appear soon," Fontana wrote.

"The source that confirmed this information also said the Leader of the Revolution keeps up to date on the position of Ecuador regarding the case of (Wikileaks founder) Julian Assange, among other national and international issues that interest him," the blogger said.

Chavez, a close Castro ally and Cuba's top benefactor, remarked on his friend's mental fitness via Twitter on August 13, after calling him to wish him happy birthday.

"It is impressive his energy and lucidity. He is an example of will and of revolutionary perseverance for all. Long live Fidel!!" he tweeted.

Chavez made no mention of the book said to be in the works.

Will Obama be on the cover? Maybe he will write the preface.

Maybe he will write the preface.

Ghost-written by Bill Ayers.
