Richard Castle Interview by Crimespree Magazine
Kingswell on Sep 18, 2014 06:00PM
(This interview was conducted last spring before Castle went missing.)
RAGING HEAT, the latest Nikki Heat novel from Kingswell is on sale Sept 16th. You can follow him on Twitter @WriteRCastle. And tune in on ABC Sept 29th to find out the latest!
Topics:
Erica Ruth Neubauer: How much do you think the Nikki Heat series is like your real-life relationship with Detective Beckett?
Richard Castle: I like to think I draw from the best parts of our adventures to give my readers an unforgettable experience with every novel. A ruggedly handsome writer following a smart, sexy Detective… you can’t get more real-life than that!
ERN: Does it change how you feel about your character Derrick Storm now knowing that your real-life father is actually a spy?
RC: Wait. How do you know my father is a spy? Who are you working for?
ERN: How do you find time to write while you are working cases with Detective Beckett?
RC: It turns out there’s a lot of paperwork when you’re a cop. While Beckett stays late writing up her case reports, I go home and write my novels. I think my job’s more fun because I get to make stuff up, and I get paid more. A lot more.
ERN: How do you deal with being in danger when you are the only one not carrying a gun?
RC: As an unarmed writer, I employ the power of my imagination to help calm my nerves. I have these little games I play. Sometimes I pretend that I’m the lead character in a TV show, and can never get hurt too badly. Honestly, the people I work with are very good at their jobs, and they have guns, so I always feel well protected.

Now Available: Raging Heat
Kingswell on Sep 16, 2014 07:00AM
An illegal immigrant falls from the sky and NYPD Homicide Detective Nikki Heat’s investigation into his death quickly captures the imagination of her boyfriend the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Jameson Rook. When he decides to work the case with Heat as his next big story, Nikki is at first happy to have him ride along. Yes, she must endure Rook’s usual wild conspiracy speculations and adolescent wisecracks, but after reuniting following his recent assignment abroad, she’s glad for the entertainment, the chance to bounce ideas, and just to be close to him again and feel the old spark rekindle. But when Rook’s inquiry concludes that Detective Heat has arrested the wrong man for the murder, everything changes.
