klscastlehide bio
 Author has written 9 stories for Castle. Hey there Castle Lovers, My name's Karen, I'm married, have one son and work full-time. I'm also a Native New Yorker, now transplanted in Arizona. I've been writing for the past four years, starting right here at Castle . It took me over 40 years to get up the nerve to start writing. Better late than never, I guess. I love Castle, Firefly, VEEP, Parks & Rec, The Good Wife, Rizzoli & Isles, The Last Ship, Outlander & Stephanie Plum books and fanfiction. I'm partial to comedies & mysteries, smitten with the character, Richard Castle - he's hilarious - and I adore every layer of the Kate Beckett onion. She's an amazing character and a fantastic role model for women everywhere. Fillion and Katic are awesome! I've been watching Nathan Filliion since he was Joey on One Life To Live, but he'll always be my Captain. So basically, I'm your typical crazy fan-girl. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy reading my stories! |
