Castle Heat Wave

Richard Castle might be a character played by Nathan Fillion, but ABC is promoting Castle in a very real way. The first episode of Castle was this past Monday (10/9c) on ABC and during the episode Nathan Fillion’s character, Richard Castle was doing a photoshoot for his new book, Heat Wave.

But that book is just a part of the storyline right? Wrong. It’s real and you can read it right now. ABC is posting a chapter a week until the release date of the book. On the page is a link to download the chapter. If you dislike reading a PDF or on your pc, you can purchase the book here for $13.95. The book will ship on September 29.

Here is a synopsis about the book from the site:

A New York real estate tycoon plunges to his death on a Manhattan sidewalk. A trophy wife with a past survives a narrow escape from a brazen attack. Mobsters and moguls with no shortage of reasons to kill trot out their alibis. And then, in the suffocating grip of a record heat wave, comes another shocking murder and a sharp turn in a tense journey into the dirty little secrets of the wealthy. Secrets that prove to be fatal. Secrets that lay hidden in the dark until one NYPD detective shines a light.

Mystery sensation Richard Castle, blockbuster author of the wildly best-selling Derrick Storm novels, introduces his newest character, NYPD Homicide Detective Nikki Heat. Tough, sexy, professional, Nikki Heat carries a passion for justice as she leads one of New York City’s top homicide squads. She’s hit with an unexpected challenge when the commissioner assigns superstar magazine journalist Jameson Rook to ride along with her to research an article on New York’s Finest. Pulitzer Prize-winning Rook is as much a handful as he is handsome. His wise-cracking and meddling aren’t her only problems. As she works to unravel the secrets of the murdered real estate tycoon, she must also confront the spark between them. The one called heat.

If you’re interested in meeting Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion), he will be appearing at Barnes & Noble at The Grove at Farmers Market (189 Grove Drive Suite K 30, Los Angeles) on Monday, October 19,2009. The signing will start at 7:30pm and Castle will be signing copies of Heat Wave. I will be there and wouldn’t miss it for anything!

Here’s the trailer for HeatWave:
