Nathan Fillion

I don’t think Border employees realized how busy last Tuesday would be. Over 100 people waited in three different lines to meet the author of Heat Wave, Richard Castle, better known as Nathan Fillion.

Nathan is the star of Castle, television show on ABC. In a rather unique promotion, the book they talk about on the show was actually written and published. You can read every chapter here or purchase the book at any retail store.

I loved watching at the event Browncoats mingle with people who were just fans of the show. The lady in line behind me buying the book for her husband didn’t really understand why so many people showed up.

Nathan arrived early and stayed long enough to give everyone an autograph. He took time to speak with each person and even held someone’s baby! We spoke about GamingAngels and Halo 3: ODST. I had wondered if he was going to sign as Castle or as Nathan. Nathan told me that he had considered signing as Castle, but figured he had more practice signing his name.

Anyone in the Los Angeles area can still meet Nathan Fillion at the Garden Grove Barnes and Noble (189 Grove Drive Suite K 30, Los Angeles, CA) on Monday October 19, 2009 7:30pm.
