I just LOVE the way they have come up with an actual book (which I have ordered!! I could not find it in the book clubs but did on Amazon) to go along with the TV series.

And I also love the way they have incorporated it into the show (especially the latest one where she is reading it in the bathtub and in the toilet stall!!!) and given it so much publicity.

So much fun!!! I hope they continue to do that!!! And that it continues to go up the bestseller charts!!!

What about the other "Desert Storm" books talked of on the show? I can't find them anywhere (if they do exist).

Somehow I think that Stephen J. Cannell is the real author and is doing this as a "lark" -- doesn't he play poker with Nathan in real life??

further reply: I also noticed that the book cover style on Heat Wave appears to be similar to those of Stephen Cannell's books.

The other books are "Derick Storm" not "Desert Storm". I'm not sure if thats the way he spells Derick, but he is the main character of the other books he kills of in the begining of season 1.

I am excited to think I may be right about Stephen J. Cannell and appreciate your further information!! I don't recall what he looks like, but I do recall the poker on CASTLE, and if he was there and has acknowledged that Nathan is his friend, it sounds more and more like I'm right!! I wonder where the initials SJC appear??

The poker game includes three writers and the character of Castle. The writers are Michael Connelly, Stephen Cannell and James Patterson. I suppose a collaboration between Patterson and ? would be par for the course. But this is an "in" joke and there could be many ways, er, out.... I haven't read Heat Wave, but I suppose that it would read like one written by one of the above three. Read the book, then opine further ...

Stephen Canell is a good bet, but so is James Patterson...he also plays poker with Castle and is known to write several different series of books at the same time....and Patterson writes so many different types of stories, he has no discernible "style" The question of the century.......

Richard Castle's 'Heat Wave' novel: Not bad!
by Mandi Bierly

Heat Wave, the book crime author Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion) has been writing on ABC’s Castle, has begun to roll out on ABC.com, and though I’m still not sure I’ll be buying it when it’s released in print on Sept. 29, I am eagerly awaiting the second chapter tease.

In Heat Wave, Pulitzer Prize-winning magazine journalist Jameson Rook researches an article on New York’s Finest by tailing homicide detective Nikki Heat as she investigates the murder of a real estate mogul. The first chapter finds a reference to Heat having sat in “The Loss Chair” herself (a nod to Castle’s Det. Kate Beckett having lost her mother to a homicide) and to her love of animated movies (so I guess Castle is taking inspiration from elsewhere, unless I missed an episode).

What I find the most fun — besides looking for snippets of dialogue we heard in Season 1 — is reading how Castle plays up the sexual tension between Heat and Rook: “They turned to face each other, and she was a little startled by his proximity but didn’t pull back. Nose-to-nose with him in the heat, she held his gaze and watched the dance of reflected sunlight playing off his eyes. And then she blinked. Oh s—, she thought, what was that? I can’t be attracted to this guy. No way.” Castle creator Andrew Marlowe says specific page numbers will be referenced on the show in Season 2, I suspect that will be one of them.

As for who is the real author of Heat Wave, Marlowe insists there’s no mystery: “Richard Castle. The roguishly handsome best-selling author of the Derek Storm mystery series. He’s charming. He’s a good writer. And I don’t know why you’re trying to take credit away from him. The guy worked hard on it.” As hard as he’s working on solving a murder in the Hamptons via his Twitter page no doubt.

I just started the second Nikki Heat book. I think this whole Castle thing is fun and entertaining! I also believe the books and the tv series are being written by the group of mystery writers, including but not limited to, Stephen Cannel (r.i.p.), James Patterson, and Michael Connelly. How refreshing to have a somewhat-cozy mystery series and feel that the people writing it are having as much fun with it as their audience.
