It's about Nathan Fillion playing a best selling author who tags along with detectives as they solve their case of the week, to research for his novels. I love that show and I love Richard Castle himself. The premise of the show was that he wrote a series of novels about Derrick Storm, a ruggedly handsome secret agent that was quite obviously a self insert of Castle himself. He decides to reinvent his writing by killing of Storm and follows Detective Beckett around on cases for inspiration, and starts a new line of novels about Nikki Heat, a detective.... quite obviously based on Beckett. She's followed around by a magazine reporter named Jameson Rook.... quite obviously another Castle insert. Throughout the show, they mention new books Castle has written and are releasing like Heat Wave, Naked Heat, etc Anyways, the producers of the show hired ghost writers to actually write these books, and they are written from the premise that Castle wrote them. And they actually 100% feel that way. They are schlocky dumb tropes and antics but man it really captures the feeling of Castle, like this fictional character somehow actually wrote a book for me to read. I don't remember anything about the books that I read but what I do remember is thoroughly giggling to myself and enjoying it as I read them. So if you are a fan of Castle, I think this is a fun thing to consider. If not, then eh probably ignore. 100% disposable content here https://www.goodreads.com/series/52515-nikki-heat https://www.goodreads.com/series/149241-derrick-storm I don't know if doing this is ever common when there's a writer in a show or movie or something but this existing at all cracks me up whenever I think about it. --- The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG <cite>CoolCly posted [p:951895829] in looking fo...
