Author has written 29 stories for Castle, NCIS, Highlander, and Defiance.

I used to write when I had quite a bit less gray hair on my head. Was even the president of my campus literary guild (Mohawk Valley CC's Quill & Scroll 1994-1996) but hadn't written much since then until I discovered this little show on ABC named Castle.

I was first entranced by the episode "Kill Shot" and then decided I had to see all of it so I mainlined castle for a week watching seasons 1-3 back to back on You Tube. Following that, on February 10th, I joined a Castle fan site called "The 12th" (maybe you've heard of it)

Shortly after that I was making fan vids (something I swore I would never do)
Then shortly after that I was writing Fan Fiction. (something I swore for a LOT longer that I would never do)

I am an unashamed Castle/Beckett shipper, and a closet Lanie/Esposito shipper.

Other shows I've liked over the years whose characters may show up in my crossovers:

Miami Vice
Silk Stalkings
JAG (before it got stupid)
NCIS
Bones (before it went downhill)
Law & Order
Rizzoli and Isles
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Angel
Forever Knight
SWAT (yes, I am THAT old)
Burn Notice
Spenser: For Hire
A Man Named Hawk

I prefer my vampires of the non-sparkly variety as Bram Stoker intended. (Sorry Nerwen, it had to be said)

As long as Castle keeps putting out episodes, I'll be here.

8. There Can Be Only One » reviews
Richard Castle has one final secret to reveal to Kate Beckett. This was not the way he wanted it though. For the record: this is just a quick diversion. (I am really too much of a history nut) I was listening to "Princes of the Universe" and "Who Wants To Live Forever" by Queen and this kinda popped into my head.

Kate thought bitterly to herself, "They were supposed to be after me, leaving was supposed to keep Castle safe, but it had only made him a target." Not going to delve into the Dragon or the case more of a Castle/Beckett/Alexis relationship story.
