I think there's a couple of them actually. I can't remember who's ghost written them. I think one may be a writer for the show, but they're likely contracted.

It's so funny...life imitating art imitating life imitating art imitating...etc etc.

Have fun getting to Georgia and away from all the snow! (er, except I heard there was some snow in some of the south so...be careful).

apparently they'll release a new book once a year in September. I'm seriously looking forward to reading this according to the reviews. And I checked, the book will fit on my DVD shelf next to my Castle DVDs! (just like my Darth Vader Cookie Jar with my SW collection.) whoohoo!

What? But...I'm confused. Richard Castle is a fictional author who wrote a real book? Does that even make sense?

Curiosity has won out - I just ordered it!

As soon as I saw it I had to buy it. My mother was with me, and she was like "I totally have to borrow that when you're done" We love Castle!!

and to top it off, I'll immediately be able to identify other castle fans who come over when they'll be "castle wtf omg is this real?" and i'll know that only a true fan would be like that.

they're planning to release one for each season of the show. :D i work at a bookstore, and yet haven't picked up a copy for myself yet!

I spent way too much money at the bookstore when I worked there. Surprisingly, it was difficult but not impossible for me not to walk into a bookstore more than once a month last year. It almost makes going to the bookstore even more of a joy, especially if I find jewels like this!

I'm totally buying this. It has to be amusing, after all, they've established that Castle is a very witty fellow. ;) What a job for the writer, though! It has to work on two levels, as a novel, and as saying something about the guy that wrote it. Not to mention about the woman who's the inspiration for the main character....

I love the writing on Castle. The writing and the characters on the show are absolutely superb! I love even the little extras, like having Stephen J. Cannell and James Patterson quoted as reviewers on the jacket. Someone not familiar with the show at all would never think this is part of the series, and that Nathan Fillion really is Richard Castle. Fabulousness!!

Remember the episode where Castle says something about Beckett checking out the love scene on page whatever it was? Hee! It's actually on that page.

(The first 10 chapters or so are on ABC's website for castle in pdf format and I read it there.)
