The Keddsterhide bio
 Author has written 18 stories for Castle. Love reading. Love writing. Love Castle, Offspring (the TV show, not the band) and The Good Wife. Combine them and you get about a dozen finished Castle fan fics plus one WIP, one Offspring WIP, one vague idea for a Good Wife fic and then there's a series of random ideas and plot bunnies for a kid's story that I will call an almost-WIP. Oh and let's not forget the couple of aborted attempts at writing bodice-ripping romance fiction with a friend when we were in our late teens (hilariously cringe-worthy and will never, EVER see the light of day). I write simply because I love it and therefore have no grand aspirations or delusions in regards to my writing. I hadn't written in years until I discovered fan fiction a year ago and the words just poured out. I chose Castle because I love the humour as much as the romance (and it probably doesn't hurt that Nathan Fillion was, at one time, on my freebie-five list). So while I'm having fun, I'll keep doing it and it totally blows me away that ANYONE would willingly read something I've written. Thanks to every single one of you for warming my little writer heart. You won't find me on Twitter, but I do lurk on Tumblr . No idea, what I'm doing, but I'm there. Feel free to follow me and I'm open to 'Tumblr Tips' if you have any. If you're looking for a fic, or have a Castle FanFic question, visit this amazing blog... CastleFanFics "If you don’t have 15 minutes to meditate, you probably need an hour." ...

In Some Corner by Liv Wilder reviews
Post-47 Seconds. 'Kate stands several feet away from Castle's spot at the far end of the bar, hands jammed into her pants pockets, fists curled up tight with her short nails digging half-moons into her palms while the writer studiously tries to ignore her. "You're angry." "You think?" His voice is harsh, dripping sarcasm.

No More Hiding reviews
No more hiding in relationships with men she doesn't love, no more hiding from the truth, no more hiding from her feelings. This is a journey through unseen and AU events in S3 and early S4, including the beginning and end of Beckett and Josh, and the aftermath of her shooting. I didn't like Josh either so don't be put off; all roads eventually lead to Caskett. T rated epilogue up.

A snapshot of Castle and Beckett 'firsts' from Seasons 1 to 5 and beyond. Not the 'first' of its kind, but I wanted to write, and this wanted to be written. Consider it my acknowledgment of a year of writing fanfiction - I posted my 'first' story exactly one year ago.
